Yeah, so the bad news is that my new job keeps me busy enough that I’m horrible at keeping up with a weekly Doomino effect schedule. But the good news is, I’m bringing in more money, so I’m buying more comics to review! So let’s start off with Green Lantern #25, the finale of the…
For a while, I’ve been losing my interest in X-Men – I’ve been down to Astonishing, just so I could say I finished out. That, and it’s got my favorites in there. It’s a Storm and Nightcrawler away from my all-time favorite team. But yeah. I couldn’t handle Mike Carey’s run on X-Men. I was…
I see London; I see France; I see a shitty comic book with Mary Marvel’s ass hanging out on the cover. Sigh. Total page numbers for each storyline in this week’s issue of Countdown: Brother Eye: Four. Karate Kid and Una: Three. The Challengers: One. Jimmy Olsen: Three. Monarch: Two. Pied Piper in “Weekend at…
I don’t think we’ve discussed Ultimates 3 yet. Why not? Well, probably because it lives up to the Bizarro hype. It’s a cornucopia of flash, angst and poorly written dialogue from a writer who should know better (Jeph Loeb), and an artist (Joe Madureira) whose relevance will only last as long as he can keep…
We’ve been over this before. Again and again. I hate the television show “Heroes.” It’s no secret. I also really enjoy arguing about it. This is the last time I’m ever going to mention the show here or anywhere else (unless I’m really drunk, in which case I might just start shouting at anybody nearby…
After four months, I’m still a bit surprised and saddened every time I read that Mike Wieringo passed away. I’ve never been able to quite put my finger on what I liked so much about the guy. Something about his work just always connected with me. During a recent interview with newsarama.com discussing Spider-Man Family…
At first, keeping up this website was simple. But as time has gone on, we’ve become more aware of certain elements of this blog’s past that we’d all like to forget. How can I justify choosing Deathblow #1 as the Book of Doom? How can one explain Fin Fang Doom’s infamous Buffy post, or his…
“Omigod! This thing’s counting down!” – Pied Piper It’s not a good week this week. Never is, it seems. Things open with Piper realizing that Trickster’s really, truly dead (the bullet holes in his forehead and chest should’ve been an indication) and then realizing that his little wrist bracelet thing recognizes Trickster as being dead…
A brief conversation discussing the trends, between Jim Doom and Doom DeLuise: Doom DeLuise: What do you figure accounts for that big bump for both at Week 13? Jim Doom: I really don’t know. Doom DeLuise: Weird. The Week 13 bump in Countdown came after an issue where absolutely nothing happened, featuring the cover of…
