Harry Potter and the Unread Comics

Posted in

It’s Monday afternoon and I still haven’t read any of my comics from last Wednesday. Okay, I read New Avengers since it was this week’s Book of Doom, but other than that I haven’t read a comic in well over a week. Instead, I’ve finished Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix and started…

Rob Liefeld shoots on Alan Moore

Posted in

h/t Derek Burgan Probably my favorite Rob Liefeld work in the past decade had been his embarrassing sputtering in the comments of Newsarama articles, but this takes the cake. Rob recently did an interview with OC Weekly for the story Youngblood at Heart, and knowing the hits they were sure to get, they decided to…

Book of Doom: New Avengers #35

Posted in

This week we chose Marvel’s Brian Michael Bendis flagship title, The New Avengers, for our roundtable review. I figured we’d be stirring up for a good blog slapfest, since Jim Doom is one of the biggest Bendis fans around, and Fin Fang Doom bleeds in his intestines just from reading a Bendis-penned comic. Me? Call…

You know who could solve this problem? Batman

Posted in

A Pittsburgh man bought a Detective Comics #27 off a guy who found it in the attic. So basically, the guy is not only a nerd, but a rich nerd. So there’s that. But, like any story, good or bad, there’s some controversy around it. Another local comic store owner claims the same person tried…

Justified and ancient

Posted in

I tell you, it’s a good thing that Ganthet and Sayd were kicked out of Oa. The other guardians were right – these two have let their emotions go to their heads. They’ve been letting their love of earth people cloud their judgment, interfering with their impartiality. from Green Lantern #24…

How awesome is The Question?

Posted in

Let’s dive into the pages of the recently released The Question: Zen and Violence for the answer. In case you’re unfamiliar, this collection brings back the run by Dennis O’Neil on the now recently deceased Vic Sage version of the Question. It starts with Vic as a crappy hero who gets his skull crushed, then…

Spidey: A dialogue

Posted in

DOOM DELUISE: I hate the nickname “Spidey.” JIM DOOM: Same here. If Spider-Man was my friend, I wouldn’t call him that. DOOM DELUISE: I’d call him Spider-Man. JIM DOOM: I might start to come up with nicknames after a while, but I definitely wouldn’t call him Spidey. It just sounds condescending and emasculating. DOOM DELUISE:…

The many jobs of Diana Prince

Posted in

She’s long been the super-powered, lasso-wielding harbinger of justice as Wonder Woman, and post-Crisis she created a secret identity and worked for the very government agency trying to track her down. Oh yeah, somewhere in there she tried her hand at masseuse. Now, a new identity for the princess of the Amazons. Exotic dancer, coming…
