Exploding Pages @explodingpages.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Sometimes horror in comics is best portrayed by highly expressive artists like Bill Sienkiewicz or Martin Simmonds. Other times, the best choice is an artist who draws much more realistically. Here are two favorites that fit into that latter category: Curt Swan (New Teen Titans #43)... 100

Exploding Pages @explodingpages.bsky.social · 06/05/2025The words return in the hardcover Absolute edition. But, wait, something else is missing: Tatjana Wood's color art! It's been replaced with something that strives for realism, and I guess is successful in that regard, but it's bland, anonymous, and forgettable. 130
Exploding Pages @explodingpages.bsky.social · 06/05/2025Due to a production error, the words are missing from page 24 in the most recent softcover edition. 120
Exploding Pages @explodingpages.bsky.social · 06/05/2025Page 22 of SWAMP THING #24 ends with these words: "I want to be alive, and grow, and rise up..." The thought gets completed on page 23: "...and meet the sun." It's an important moment: Swamp Thing embracing his plant self, and plants need sunlight. Scientifically accurate and thematically resonant! 271
Exploding Pages @explodingpages.bsky.social · 05/05/2025@cbccpodcast.bsky.social, I think Swamp Thing would appreciate "The Greatest Love of All" by Whitney Houston, especially in the moment at the end of issue #24 ("Roots"). 1111
