The Comics Canon

Episode 197 – Swamp Thing: American Gothic (Part 2)


Listen Later

One year (almost to the day) since we discussed the first half of American Gothic, we round out the scare-iffic month of October with a look at the final five issues (Swamp Thing #46-50) of this groundbreaking storyline by Alan Moore, Stephen Bissette and others, published by DC Comics!

First, Swamp Thing and John Constantine rub elbows with DC's superhero elite in the midst of the Crisis on Infinite Earths! Then things really get cooking, with a shocking revelation in the Amazon rainforest, a not-so-shocking betrayal in Brazil, and a star-studded battle against Darkness itself as Heaven hangs in the balance! Oh, and Abby Arcane is arrested as a sex criminal!

Can the Avocado Avenger and his allies tip the scales in the climactic showdown of light vs. dark? And can this epic finale book passage on that prestigious Jungle Cruise known as ... The Comics Canon?

In This Episode:

· Aren't we over the Phantom Stranger's shtick by now?

· Curt comes after Mufasa of "The Lion King"

· Double Walker by Michael W. Conrad and Noah Bailey

· The Fisherman by John Langan

· Reservation Dogs on Hulu

· The Replacements' Tim: The Let It Bleed Edition on Rhino Records
