I keep intending to cut back on how much I’m buying, but I ended up with nine comics this week. You know what that means – nine times for me to show off my fancy domino-based rating system! First up is Green Arrow: Year One #2. Green Arrow for me was one of the few…
Publisher of the Week- Other As far as I’m concerned, there are only three comic book publishers: Marvel, DC, and everyone else. Most of the comics I buy are published by Marvel and DC, which makes sense since most of the comics period are published by Marvel and DC. This was an extremely odd week,…
No, Kingdom Come hasn’t been named a saint, but for years now it’s been slowly working its way into official DC continuity. Characters, themes and ideas from Mark Waid and Alex Ross’s epic story have been showing up in canon DC Universe stories for quite some time, from Red Arrow in JLA and a feline…
Hello fiends, and welcome to this week’s devilish double-shot with our roundtable reviews of Grendel: Behold the Devil #0 and Batman #666. Starting off with Grendel, when I picked this, I didn’t realize right off that it was just a preview issue. I was more entranced by the fact that it fit with the theme…
While most organizations reporting on San Diego’s Comic-Con are probably looking for the exciting announcements and leaks, the San Diego Union-Tribune ran a story Wednesday revealing the convention’s “charity” status. …the 38th annual San Diego Comic-Con International, which opens tonight, is registered with the federal government as a public charity, placed in the same general…
Another week, another bland effort from DC as far as Countdown goes. This one is bad, bad, bad, and I mean bad. Were you really expecting much else? Here’s how it goes: The issue opens with the story of Ryan Choi (the All-New Atom), along with Donna Troy, Jason Todd, and Bob the Monitor, right…
The following is an interior page from Mighty Avengers #4, which may or may not be out by the time I post this thing: Granted, I don’t read Mighty Avengers, so this may not be a good example of the their use in the title, but was the much bally-hooed return of thought bubbles just…
While I wasn’t able to make it to the Con, my PR pals on the Left Coast have been nice enough to keep me updated on all that’s going on. Well, actually my PR pals at pretty much every publisher outside of Marvel. But that’s a whole ‘nother story. BOOM! Studios has a lot happening….
This week’s Book of Doom is about something greater than comics. It’s about an age-old battle. Something even bigger than Wolverine vs. Batman. It’s about good vs. evil…God vs Satan. And this week, we choose Satan. In honor of July 25th – also known as Christmas in July – also known as The Anti-Christ…mas –…
It’s Tuesday, it’s Doomino Time – I finally finished off my stack of last week’s comics so I shall let her rip. First up is the book I almost didn’t read – The Spirit #8. I sat down with my stack and realized I didn’t even crack open the issue, so I made a point…
