This strange journey of mine toward becoming a semi-respected comic book journalist reached a new high today. A comic publisher (not saying who) invited me to a fancy and semi-exclusive launch party. I guess that’s what happens when you’re the only guy in mainstream media who specializes in comics. But… The Super Party is in…
With Jean-Claude Van Doom on the move and Jim Doom on his honeymoon, that just leaves little old me to review this week’s comics on Doomkopf. So I’m ditching my traditional Meaningless Awards reviews for more thorough coverage of what came out this week. Luckily, Doom DeLuise is back to reviewing Countdown, and Green Lantern…
Okay, yeah, so Green Lantern #21 wasn’t quite as wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am as our last Book of Doom, The Sinestro Corps Special, but then again the second part of a mulit-part storyline rarely packs the same punch as the first one did. The Special had a lot of work to do, setting up all the story and…
I thought I was done with this damn series. The other night, though, I got drunk and realized that I missed blogging about how much Countdown sucks after tying one on, so I asked Jesus Christ Venereal Disease to let me take the reins once again. In a simple twist of fate, it turns out…
I’m quitting comics. Had you for a second, didn’t I? Like I could ever give up on comic books. Sadly, though, events have sort of conspired to make it impossible for me to continue some of my comics reading, at least for the time being. Today, I closed out my pull list at The Comic…
A few weeks ago, the Sinestro Corps Special was our Book of Doom. All of us here at Doomkopf loved it, so I figured we might as well make the Sinestro War our unofficial Event of Doom and pick the next chapter of the story as this week’s BoD. As an extra special bonus, I’ve…
Ending of the Week- Runaways #27 It’s been three years or so since the first volume of Runaways ended. In the final issue of that series, all of the Pride died. It was fitting end to that first arc, and I really thought those characters were gone for good. So I was pretty shocked when…
A couple Tuesdays ago, I got a free beer. I was out at one of the trendy bars in Little Rock’s River Market with a couple of pals, and of the four pints I put away, only three appeared on the tab. The other fellas earned a freebie as well (this isn’t even to mention…
Right about now, Jim Doom is getting hitched. I’d like to claim that this blogging then is going on from inside the sanctuary, but sadly I wasn’t able to make the drive up to take part in said nuptials (it’s a sore topic, so let’s just let it go). Seeing as this is such a…
You may have noticed that I’ve taken over the Countdown review from our good friend, Doom DeLuise, who’s become so annoyed at comics (and this one in particular) that I don’t think he’ll be reading any more of DC’s big event. For now, then, I’m taking over. I suppose this is a bit of poetic…
