From the headline caption, I thought you’d posted a review of the new Trek film. Perhaps viewing “Into Darkness” drove you to claymation-ed heights of insanity where no man has gone before.

There was a Legion kids’s cartoon. I have a DVD of the first five episodes somewhere. It was a decent enough show, but it doesn’t eat me up inside that I’ll never see any more.

I like to think the editors just told the writer(s): “You know what? No one’s paying attention, just give him a new origin every few issues-it’ll keep the audience on their toes.”

And that’s how DC will relaunch the Legion of Superheroes.

And Grant Morrison will find a way to integrate all these origins into one big, consistent, but totally opaque origin story, and tons of Morrison fanboys will acclaim it as genius.

Wait, what am I talking about? Roy Thomas is editing this thing? He must be lying awake sweating at night, trying to come up with a story that reconciles these origins (as well as explaining what happened between panels 3 and 4 of issue 5 – a question no one else has ever raised or, once raised, cared about).

Sorry, feeling cynical.

That’s a heaping helping all right. Also, Heap looks oddly adorable in nearly all of those panels, very cuddly. I guess it’s the big shaggy thing/Cousin Itt look. And oh yeah, the naked babies cavorting around him.

I had been wondering when this blog’s “Heap Gap” would be filled, to be honest.

Well,Swampy got into the twenties.If we can make it to issue 30 we should be alright!I’m wondering if you’re enjoying the new writer as much as I am,Mike.I hope there’s enough readers left after the endless Rot to give him a try.I also see that Swampy makes an appearance (along with everyone else) in Trinity of Sin:Pandora #1.

Just in case you wondered, Mike, the finale of Arrow last night was fantastic and I’m all ‘Smallville? What Smallville?’

Wow, I never realized how much precedent there was for the cosmic aspect of Swamp Thing.

It is shocking that you enjoy a swamp monster character. But how far does your swamp monster allegiance go? You’ve got the big three but are you interested others as well? For example, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles character “Muckman” (http://turtlepedia.wikia.com/wiki/Muckman and http://www.dorkdimension.com/2009/08/retro-toy-review-muckman-playmates-tmnt.html)?
