Confirmation of the Week- Black Adam’s still a badass, Black Adam #1 Writer Peter Tomasi showed us this week that despite getting his powers taken away by Captain Marvel (and despite his lackluster appearance in Countdown), Teth-Adam is still a frickin’ badass. First, we see Adam ordering his loyal followers to pummel him for two…
I’m not really sure what to say about Black Adam anymore. When we saw him last in 52, he was a faceless drifter, alone and seething with anger over the deaths of his brother and wife. During World War III, he was unable to hold those responsible fully accountable for their actions. He was stripped…
[SFX: Podcast of Doom theme music] DOOM DELUISE: Hello, and welcome to the Legion of Doom’s latest installment of the Podcast of Doom. Welcome to the show. I am your co-host, Doom DeLuise, and this week, we’ve decided to do a very special podcast focused strictly on “Countdown.” Please give a very hearty welcome to…
Remember back when Black Adam was the baddest man alive? Public Enemy #1? The cause of World War III? Well, so do I. This new mini-series is supposedly going to fill in the gap between the last time we saw a very angry, hell-bent on revenge, de-powered Teth-Adam in Week Fifty-Two of 52, and when…
Hello my little white dots on black fields, and welcome to this week’s Doomino Effect. This week was the first week at my new comic book shop. Last year, I had to find a new comic book shop, and the winner of that search was a great store that I really liked shopping at. Unfortunately,…
Warren Ellis seems like a decent enough guy. His WarrenEllis.com blog is really entertaining, and full of useless but awesome crap (random pictures, etc.). He’s got a niche fanbase that may not be the size of say, Grant Morrison or Neil Gaiman, but certainly warrants some golf applause. But here’s the thing. His writing is…
I just spent the last three days tiling my parent’s basement, so I’m not really feeling up to a long Meaningless Awards this week. Thankfully, not a whole lot of spectacular comics came out this week. There were a few things that deserve recognition, though. Book of the Week- She-Hulk #20 Dan Slott’s She-Hulk has…
For months, Doom DeLuise has been trying to get me to post again. And again. Finally, after he had gone through the blog to correct some transfer troubles, he said to me tonight that I knew too much about X-Men not to post. And it’s true. After a break-up in 2003, I went through and…
Earlier this week I remembered this idea for a new Thor series Marvel had right around the time House of M was going on. I’m almost certain it was Mark Millar’s idea, possibly with help by current writer J. Michael Stracynski and some other member of the Illuminati. It involved a group of teenagers being…
Earlier today, I was sitting around thinking of something that I could compare Countdown to, so that even the lay-person who reads these reviews would understand how crappy it is, and I came up with a really creative, totally original idea, all on my own! Have you ever seen the show Big Brother After Dark?…
