In his latest DC Nation column, Big Jefe Dan Didio writes the following: Well, as you saw in the thrilling conclusion of 52, the Multiverse is back. Or should I say, a new Multiverse is here. A huge defining moment in the DC Universe, so big, in fact, it has divided the DC Nation into…
As I mentioned before, a great recent week was highlighted by the release of the second collected volume of Frank Espinosa’s Rocketo, the future-set adventures of famed mapper Rocketo Garrison. If you read the interview I did with Frank when volume one released, you know that the second volume was set to be published in…
Whenever Warren Ellis does something like newuniversal or the Ultimate Galactus trilogy, I’m left wondering why he’s regarded as a good writer. Then I remember he wrote Planetary. And then I remember that he still hasn’t finished Planetary. I’ve been waiting for the final issue of Planetary for what seems like forever. I didn’t get…
We’re steady at work here, doing our damnedest to replace the saying “another day, another dollar” with the much more flavorful “another week, another Book of Doom.” C’mon, popular vernacular, you know you want to spice things up! In that vein, this week we Doomers are going to be tackling Silver Surfer: Requiem, the new…

Maybe that’s because I’m pretty well drained after a 9+ hour drive to Nebraska for the first ever face-to-face meeting amongst we Doomers (word is, there’s a photo floating around…
Maybe you’ve seen this before. If so, good for you, just don’t rub it in our faces, you jerk! What was I saying? Oh, yeah, Ted Kord has been AWOL from comics ever since his brains met the tile floor in Dracula’s castle, unless you count that fake Ted Kord that showed up in Manhunter…
Welcome to this week’s edition of our weekly roundtable discussion of the newest issue of Wonder Woman, a tie-in to the current big event Amazons Attack! This week, the Legion is joined by special guest reviewer The Fortress Keeper from The Fortress of Fortitude. Overall, the issue seems to have caught all of us off…
Most of this is somewhat old news in the rapid world of the internet, but there’s so many different versions of this same issue popping up in the past few weeks, I think it’s worth collecting just to see how publishers are repeating themselves. I normally skip everything I ever see regarding statues of comic…
