This week, we’re branching out into another non-superhero book for the Books of Doom. Between today and Saturday, pick up DMZ #12 at your local comic shop and come back this weekend to share your thoughts and read ours. While DMZ has been going on for awhile, this issue provides a standalone between arcs and…
It was announced last Friday after a few weeks of speculation that Thunderbolts will be receiving a major makeover early next year courtesy of Warren Ellis and Mike Deodato. Essentially spinning off of the team of Thunderbolts seen on the last page of Civil War #4, the new Thunderbolts will ditch the continuity that has…
Robert Kirkman just gets Spider-Man. Sure, there are a lot of guys that get Spider-Man, but most of them aren’t writing Spider-Man stories. And there are a lot of guys that don’t get him that are writing his stories. So when Spidey does something very Spidey-esque, I can’t help but get giddy like a school…
Nobody liked Bruce Jones’ Nightwing. Literally. Show me someone that says they liked it, and I’ll show you a liar that I will proceed to punch in the face, chest and abdomen until I get tired and Doom DeLuise has to take over. But y’know what? Marv Wolfman seems to know what the hell he’s…
Paul Dini is writing the best Batman stories I’ve ever read. Okay, to be fair, I didn’t start reading Batman until OYL, but it’s definitely better than the “Face to Face” arc and much, much better than what Morrison’s doing over on Batman (you don’t know how bad I wanted to do a pun on…
For awhile now, we’ve been on a sort of Nightwing Watch here at the Legion of Doom. He should have died in Infinite Crisis. Everybody agrees on that now. Instead, Dick moved to New York, acted like a Grade A Asshole and fought some pointlessly retarded villains. Instead of a real conclusion to the story,…
Hey everybody, it’s that time of the week again! This week we’re reviewing Criminal #1 by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips from Marvel’s Icon imprint. I liked the book but I’m not quite sure why. Maybe my fellow Doomers can help me put my finger on it. Jean Claude Van Doom: “The shop was sold…
Because I’m lazy, I’m making this #4 because then it posts the same day as the group review. Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man or The Irredeemable Antman probably deserves it more, but like I said, I’m lazy. I did four other heartfelt ones and two countdowns last week. Give me a break, will ya? Anyway, I wish…
So this is the first one of these here thingies I’ve ever participated in. The freakish positioning of J. Jonah Jameson’s right hand just screamed out at me. This one comes from Chris over at 2 Guys Buying Comics. I believe the general rule is the dirtier the funnier, right?
Y’know, Dr. Strange is a really cool character. Unlike the DC Universe, there aren’t a gazillion magic-type guys to fight back the forces of all the dark dimensions surrounding our own. It’s pretty much all on Dr. Strange. And he must be really, really good at it, or else we wouldn’t exist. Or he’s just…
