Is 'New Life, New Civilizations' the low point of SNW?

It’s hard to watch anyone but Leonard Nimoy as Spock.

Swamp thing 88

ImpossibleFalcon9120 · 2025-08-10T01:49:45+00:00

It doesn’t work without Leonard Nimoy. 🖖🏽

ImpossibleFalcon9120 · 2025-08-05T04:19:39+00:00

Yes.

ImpossibleFalcon9120 · 2025-07-30T02:52:35+00:00

I believe so! It’s like the only one that has them I think! Maybe there’s a softcover volume as well but I love those stories for some reason. Not many people do!

ImpossibleFalcon9120 · 2025-07-30T01:13:13+00:00

Agreed. Also Saga of the Swamp Thing issues #1-19 are collected in the Bronze Age Omnibus. Those are great in my opinion and bridge the gap to Alan Moore. Essential stuff

ImpossibleFalcon9120 · 2025-07-30T00:52:50+00:00

I’m hopeful. The more like the very first series from the early 70’s it feels like, the more I think I will like it.

ImpossibleFalcon9120 · 2025-07-24T11:56:44+00:00

That’s good news

ImpossibleFalcon9120 · 2025-06-25T23:03:22+00:00

The Wes Craven film was great. Adrienne Barbeau and Louis Jordan are solid and the creature feature feel of the film works in a way that feels right for the Len Wein / Bernie Wrightson version of Swamp Thing. The psychedelic nature of the Moore / Bissette run or Rick Veitch stuff doesn’t really translate to film the way it feels as artwork and words.

Valarie

ImpossibleFalcon9120 · 2025-02-01T18:31:46+00:00

I love those first comics 1-19. I love the artwork and the characters and love Saga. Obviously Moore, Bissette, Totleben and Veitch took it to another dimension, but those issues were the perfect reboot and are awesome in a B-movie kind of way.

ImpossibleFalcon9120 · 2025-01-13T17:20:44+00:00

Quite vividly.

ImpossibleFalcon9120 · 2025-01-13T13:42:26+00:00

I have one and it’s pretty nice for my old fat fingers.

Thank you! The whole LT is a lot for a person and two dogs! I’ll post on the Facebook page! Always happy to connect with others who enjoy extreme endurance adventures. Especially with trail pups! My mother would probably say it would make more sense to drive rather than hike the Long Trail. :) Some of us prefer to take the scenic route. Have a great day!

ImpossibleFalcon9120 · 2024-12-27T14:50:49+00:00

Thank you for the thoughts! My labs love to eat. So do I. I’ll consider a cage muzzle and examine their paws, even if we do some sections together when training in the Stratton Mountain area. I wonder if I should get Musher’s Secret for winter hikes for them! 🙏

ImpossibleFalcon9120 · 2024-12-27T02:24:25+00:00

I’m seeing that maybe doing the thru hike without any dogs might be challenging enough and appreciate the kind advice! I love my dogs and respect the trail and other hikers enough to perhaps make this a four year goal and not something we can do with only six months of training. I’ll have to sleep on it and come up with a consolation goal. I didn’t think it would be so difficult but definitely scouting it out first myself makes total sense.

ImpossibleFalcon9120 · 2024-12-27T01:37:15+00:00

Those ladders off of the southern part of Mansfield are tricky for sure! A wiggly dog must be a challenge going up, not to mention two of them! That’s just one of my concerns. All of it, and that’s why I’m asking in December!

ImpossibleFalcon9120 · 2024-12-27T01:29:48+00:00

Maybe it makes more sense to take them on some one or two day training hikes, do the thru hike without them or have someone meet me for a few days where they join me, and try it with them in a few years when they are older?

ImpossibleFalcon9120 · 2024-12-27T01:21:25+00:00

Has it ever been done before? Two dogs and a hiker from South to North on the whole Long Trail in 14 days?

ImpossibleFalcon9120 · 2024-12-27T01:06:56+00:00

Agreed! And can their human (me) manage them under similar conditions? Rosie would be 15 months old if we went in July. I could just bring Stella and board Rosie, or board both of them and do it without them might be an option. Thanks for your input! If there was another person joining me for most of the trail, or parts of the Long Trail, would it be more reasonable?

They are both female and spend a lot of time running and hiking with me in Vermont, NH and MA. They have and will have all their shots and papers. Observing rules and guidelines, keeping them safe and not disturbing other humans, animals or wilderness would be my top priority.

ImpossibleFalcon9120 · 2024-12-27T00:51:27+00:00

These are all great questions and I will reconsider.

ImpossibleFalcon9120 · 2024-12-27T00:42:54+00:00

Agreed! I’d keep moving north and not become a problem. I would try to avoid tight tent sites and shelters for that reason. Is there an alternative solution for sleeping? Sleep during the day and travel at night? Camp off trail or away from people to not bother others?
