I don’t care how much they look like Doom DeLuise’s dad…the new JLA has never look better than it does on the cover to its twelfth issue. Of course, the alternative was Michael Turner, so poop smeared on a canvas would be a step up.
Howdy there, our little Doom Patrollers. I know you’ll all be crestfallen, but I’m going to be out of town the rest of the week and have no time for the weekly Worst to First roundup. To make up for it, I have a review of the new graphic novel The Other Side, a Vietnam…
I think my criticism against Countdown was a tad premature. I really enjoyed this issue. Whaddya say we run through the plot points real quick. Things open where they ended last time, with Killer Croc breaking free and attacking Jimmy Olsen, who pulls a Plastic Man and warps all out of place; The Monitors talk…
It’s that time of the week again. Time to choose this week’s Book of Doom. As you can tell by the title of this post, if you’re one of the types who actually reads headlines, we’ve decided to pick “Wonder Woman #9.” In case you haven’t been paying much attention to Wonder Woman lately, there’s…
When the folks at DC sent over two of the new books from the company’s new Minx line — which is targeted at a young, hip female audience — I wondered what would happen if the books weren’t any good. If I were inclined to give the books bad reviews, would it come across as…
Hello, freckled blockheads, and welcome to this week’s installment of The Doomino Effect. Getting us started is Batman #665. I had stopped reading Batman somewhere a few issues back. I thought the Damian / Ninja bat storyline was stupid, then there was that Grotesk arc, and then I remember an issue with lots of typography….
By Paul Dini (W) and Alex Ross (A). Cover price $9.95. Published by DC Comics, 1999. Plot: Superman realizes that there are lots of hungry people in the world, so he decides to try to deliver a bit of food to everybody in the entire world. From what I can tell, he’s delivering either rice…
Anyone else feel that was a Grade A letdown? Me too. Wouldn’t you think that a battle royale between the two “Heroes” with multiple powers would entail them using, uh, multiple powers? Wouldn’t you think everyone would make sure Sylar couldn’t slink away? That said, I’ll still be watching next season. Now, because I’m that…
Book of the Week- Uncanny X-Men #486 “The Rise and Fall of the Shi’ar Empire” certainly had its faults. Alternating between Billy Tan and Clayton Henry on art duties was jarring to say the least since the two have such drastically different styles. Focusing solely on Vulcan for a few issues sort of interrupted the…
It’s our tribute to the notoriously delayed, yet finally released comic books of last week, as yesterday we took on Ultimates 2 #13 and today it’s time for All-Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder. I stopped reading ASSBAR after issue 2 or 3 when I just felt offended to be paying money for stupid…
