The Sinestro Corps War had a ton of momentum heading out of the over-sized one-shot that started the whole thing. It had the return of Superboy-Prime and the Anti-Monitor, the attack on Oa and the possession of Kyle Rayner by Parallax. Since then it’s kind of gone downhill. For a few months now the crossover…
There are times when I just really wonder why I still buy single issues. Take this week. Five books. $18. Enjoyment? Not so much. I guess you have to have a dud every now and then. So, who’s excited for some reviews? No one? Back of the class? Guess not. Worst: Madman #4 Sheesh. I…
DOOM DELUISE: You didn’t think we could pass up doing a “Doom and Doomer” on a movie with Doom in the title, did you? Jim and I even sat through 75 minutes of this so we could bring you Doomkopf’s “Doomsday” Doom and Doomer. Ok, to start off with, let me ask you, what were…
I don’t like Brian Michael Bendis. That’s the conclusion I’ve come to after reading my fair share of Bendis comics. There’s only one thing he’s done that I outright hated (Avengers: Disassembled), but there’s only one thing he’s done that I really enjoyed (The Pulse). Everything else of his that I’ve read falls somewhere between…
The initial solicitations for this book were secretive, showing a white space where we now know Kyle Rayner flies at our faces. DC would obviously not want to ruin a suspenseful reveal, you know, like maybe having Kyle Rayner show up in Countdown, apparently having gotten better. But regardless, it’s our Book of Doom, and…
The first collection of the new Justice Society of America came out this week, and a review copy sent over from DC gave me the push I’ve been needing to finally check out this book. To be honest, it’s really the push I needed to check out the team. For whatever reason, I’ve just never…
Countdown sucks, right? Ok, that’s out of the way. There’s a moment in this issue that really annoyed the hell out of me, so I’d like to take a minute to talk about it before we actually get into the down-and-dirty of what “happens” through the rest of this little rag. Here’s what it is:…
Last night, I sat down to watch the new Superman/Doomsday animated movie (thanks, Warner Bro’s, for the review copy) and was actually even more sucked in by the bonus documentary about the death of Supes in the funny books. I doubt that anything said by Mike Carlin, Jerry Ordway and the like was especially revelatory,…
I sit here on the couch as my wife watches “Bring it On…Yet Again,” so what better time to get out this week’s comics and line them up, doomino style. Speaking of bringing it on yet again, we’ll start off with Justice League of America Wedding Special #1, in which the villains of the DC…
It’s been 10 years since DC launched the alterna-verse Tangent Comics, and using the same logic that brought the execrable Onslaught Reborn, that means it’s time for a good dusting off, right? And that’s how I came to read Tangent Comics: Vol. 1, which came out recently, collecting the first issues of The Atom, The…
