I’ve been doing my best to avoid all things Secret Invasion. Considering I don’t read New Avengers, Mighty Avengers, Ms. Marvel or Captain Marvel, and generally dislike anything written by Brian Michale Bendis, it seemed like a good idea to steer clear of all things Skrull. Trouble is that as long as you read a…
Let’s see…Cutesy Japanese pop heroes. Time bullets. Monkey doctors. Kamandi. Yep, Final Crisis still sucks. Let’s let the rest of the Legion sound of before I add my two cents… Jim Doom: “I liked this a lot more than last issue. Unlike that awful issue 1, this gave us a mystery that gives the book…
In the lead: Superman seems to be not quite as KOed as it appeared last issue. He and Wonder Woman take the fight to Konvikt on the outskirts of town while Batman investigates the vessel that brought Konvikt to Earth. In the back-up: Tarot has a dream about Despero. Really. My take: Okay, so the…
This is the response to Part 1 of A Difference of Opinion. I don’t think there is necessarily anything wrong with using fill-in artists to keep a book on schedule. So when DC announced they were going to use Carlos Pacheco to help J.G. Jones to meet Final Crisis deadlines, I can at least say…
Welcome to the latest installment of “Doom and Doomer,” in which members of the Legion take a look at comics on the big screen. Tonight, your participants are Doom DeLuise and Jim Doom, looking at the new Incredible Hulk movie, starring Ed Norton, Liv Tyler, Tim Roth, and William Hurt, based on the Marvel Comics…
When DC announced last week that they would be adding Carlos Pacheco to the creative team of Final Crisis in order to keep the book on schedule, Jim Doom brought up a very good point. This decision is eerily reminiscent of the choice Marvel made a couple years ago regarding Civil War, even though in…
I like Wolverine. He’s a cool character. I find it enjoyable to have a few drinks with friends and get into ridiculous arguments about who would win in a Wolverine vs Batman fight. He’s just a fun, versatile character that is a major badass. But, boy, do I hate his comic. I don’t regularly buy…
• Check out Rokk’s Comic Book Revolution for a great analysis of Secret Invasion and Final Crisis sales as well as a thorough look at what has differentiated Marvel and DC over the past few years. • Not much has changed since Civil War, when Fin Fang Doom and I disagreed over using substitute artists…
In the lead: Konvikt beats up the entire JLA, including Superman. In the back-up: Tarot gets attacked by some local thugs, who in turn get attacked by a mysterious werewolf-like creature, who mentions that Tarot “is meant for the three who are to rise.” My take: Oh crap, this isn’t a good sign. Quite frankly,…
