| Digital Comics Deal: Celebrate Earth Day With ‘Swamp Thing’
Swamp Thing is a character who blurs the lines of regular man who looks like a monster, a straight up piece of vegetation that looks sort of like a man, and both of things but also an eco-terrorist of sorts, but no matter how you view the character, it’s impossible to deny the fact that some of the greatest writers in comics have either written him or his ancillary characters. Also, when he’s not questioning his identity, he’s a pretty eco-friendly dude. So, it’s with this fact that Comixology is offering a 99 cent three-day sale on Swamp Thing for this weekend’s Earth Day. Comixology has recently made these sales more manageable if you don’t exactly know what you’re looking for and have places different comics into sections that categorize them more efficiently than just, “Here’s a bunch of comics that are on sale.” These different sections for Swamp Thing are:

| Don’t Make It Happen: Sign The Petition Against A ‘Watchmen’ Prequel
Okay, so there are a lot of rumors circulating across the Internet that concerns a work that many a comic book reader holds dearly in their hearts. And that comic book work is Watchmen. Now, are they Spielberg-ing by replacing The Comedian’s gun with a walkie-talkie? No. But the rumor is that we’ll be seeing a Watchmen prequel comic from DC Comics sooner rather than later. But, there is a petition for that.

| ‘Watchmen’ Writer Alan Moore Set To Occupy Comics After Spat With Frank Miller |
 |

A bit of a conflict has developed between highly regarded comic book creators Alan Moore (Watchmen, V For Vendetta) and Frank Miller (Sin City, 300). Instead of having opposing perspectives on something comic book related, however, the two are fired up over something a little more political in nature: the Occupy Wall Street movement. It began back in November, when Miller had what could be considered to be some rather blunt words for the many protesters who are currently occupying Wall Street in hopes of standing up against corporate greed and corruption, and making it more visible to the unaware. Miller’s comments were then responded to a couple of days ago by Moore, who, as you might have assumed, is on the polar opposite side of Miller’s opinions…and also his work in general. Check out both Miller and Moore’s comments, see why Moore is now joining something called Occupy Comics, and check out a video for it below.

| First Look At Alan Moore’s ‘League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century: 1969’ Cover It’s been a few years since we last saw Alan Moore‘s League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, but today we got our first glimpse of the next book in the series with the cover for League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century: 1969.
Check out the cover here at right (click for larger, full view). Top Shelf released the psychedelic cover from series artist Kevin O’Neill, which features… some collection of characters? I guess. It’s hard to tell at this point, although I have to assume the character in the middle is Mina Murray, which means the light-haired gentlemen would be Allan Quatermain, and I don’t know who the dark haired gentlemen is. What the release of the image does tell us is that the story looks to be on set for release some time next year.
