#4 Civil War Crossover- Cable & Deadpool # 32 Last issue, George W. Bush fought Cable to a standstill in the Oval Office. Okay, so technically (as we found out this issue) it was a Life Model Decoy specifically designed to go toe-to-toe with Cable in a verbal smackdown, but still, that’s pretty cool. This…
I was never a huge Captain America fan, but I picked up issue #1 almost two years ago. Maybe it was just out of curiosity, and figuring if I was going to give a new series a try, #1 was a good time to do it. Maybe it was a slow week and I didn’t…
Considering I picked up 23 books this week (well, 24 if you count the second copy of Teen Titans I accidentally bought), it hardly seemed fair to only spotlight five this week. So I’ve decided to do a double countdown this week. And I couldn’t think of any two categories that fit as well together…
The Doomino Effect (PATENT PENDING) continues this week, as one of the Legion picks a book and everyone else falls in line. This week, it’s Captain America #22: CIVIL WAR TIE-IN! The first of a 3-part Civil War tie-in by Ed Brubaker and Mike Perkins! While Cap has fallen into the conflict of the Civil…
Well, I’m on beer number six, so I figure it’s about time I put something up about this week’s edition of “52.” The primary focus of this week is on a group of Luthor Everymen that I’ve been referring to as “The Generic Six,” but, according to the cover, we’ve been asking for something, and…
The Hellfire Club has taken over the X-Mansion and taken out the Astonishing X-Men. Cyclops is a drooling vegetable thanks to Emma Frost. Beast has become his namesake and is devouring a freshly killed deer on the front lawn. Colossus was knocked out by Sebastian Shaw. Kitty’s mind has been taken over by the White…
After beating and raping Michonne routinely for days, the Governor decides it’d be a good idea to give her back her sword. In exchange for putting up a good fight in the arena, he’ll ease off on the beating and the raping for a while. Stupid, stupid man. Michonne manages to decapitate nine zombies and…
From Belgrade, Serbia to Ayaguz, Kazakhstan to Altamy International Airport to the Turkish coast. In one fight. You’d think that sort of think would happen more often when you’re Superman. I guess Subjekt-17 isn’t quite the pushover that Toyman is.
I just realized that the #4 Moment of the Week (from Civil War #4) just happens to coincide with our group review of Civil War #4. Weird. And not particularly good if your uber-crossover only ranks above Robin. I don’t care that Goliath is dead. He hadn’t been around for years until Reggie Hudlin needed…
Welcome to the second edition of the Legion of Doom’s Book of Doom. To clear up any confusion, every week we’re going to pick a book at random, kinda, and all of us members of the Legion are going to say a few words about it. We’re not saying that this is the best book…
