Longtime readers (both of you) might remember that back in October, several members of the Legion of Doom participated in a 24 Hour Comics Day in Lincoln, NE. Jim Doom was kind enough to organize the event and Doominator, Doom DeLuise and myself each participated, along with a few other friends and one complete stranger….
Welcome to this week’s Book of Doom round-table discussion. The book we chose this week is Captain America #25. When I made that decision, I had no idea what I was getting us into. For, y’see, this may be the most controversial, most talked about issue of a comic book that’s come out in the…
When I was buying my new comics this week, the this month’s issue of Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man reminded me that I never read last month’s issue, because I was afraid the Back in Black connection might spoil the issue of Amazing Spider-Man where Aunt May get’s shot. So I went digging through my old comics,…

To the left is the original art by Jim Steranko for the cover to Captain America #113, from 1969, in which Steve Rogers was killed. After today, that apparently should instead be “killed for the first time.” Very fortuitously, our choice of Book of Doom for this week is the latest issue of Captain America,…
The solicitations for “52” during the month of March claim that, “Death and destruction reign supreme this month in the DCU.” Yeah, I guess you could say that. As usual, beware of spoilers. This week opens with Osiris’ powers returning to Black Adam and the discovery of what’s left of Amon’s corpse, picked fairly clean…
Showing yet another failure of Civil War, the event’s biggest moment (and the long-rumored death of someone more substantial than Clor) takes place in a peripheral book. Now, if you don’t want your Wednesday spoiled, don’t click on the link below. Unfortunately, I happened across it by surprise and ruined my reading. And, yes, expect…
