So my roommate goes batshit if anyone says “theory” because a theory has been repeatedly tested, while a hypothesis is the actual conjecture. So I’ve got some little questions and ideas brewing about Messiah Complex that may or may not play out in the last four issues. There are probably some spoilers in here, so…
Last week, the newest issue of “Death of the New Gods” came out, and the mystery is in full swing. New Gods are dying, and somebody familiar and unexpected is doing the killing. So far, we’ve been given several clues within the pages of DOTNG, along with a few from “Countdown to Final Crisis,” though…
Well, it’s the holiday season, so cut me some slack with the joint and partially late reviews, here. I’ve been pretty busy with all that. That aside, though, let me just say, “HEAVENS TO BETSY, WE’RE IN THE TEENS AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET.” To piss in everybody’s egg nog, I’m back once again for…
The final chapter of One More Day, J. Michael Stracynski’s Spider-Man swan song, was finally released today, and only three months later than it was originally scheduled. While that may be a new personal best for artist Joe Quesada, this may have been a new personal worst for JMS. Although to be fair to Stracynski,…
I buy too many comics. Way too many comics. And a lot of them really aren’t very good. But as it was pointed out to me this weekend, I have a very strong inner completist, and I find it incredibly hard to stop buying a monthly series. I’ve struggled through Peter Milligan on X-Men and…
Hello, everybody. This week is the first week where we’ve decided to change the format of the weekly Book of Doom. It used to be that, each week, one of us members of the Legion would choose a book, we’d all read it, and, each Saturday, the original chooser would post a collection of each…
Tomorrow, or, more likely, if you’re reading this on Wednesday, today, the third issue of Countdown: Arena will hit newsstands, and, if you’re anything like the fanboys it caters to, you’ll probably buy it. “Who cares if it doesn’t make sense,” they ask, between handfuls of Cheetos. “It’s got a vampire Batman. So it’s automatically…
Well, start by going here. Then change your pants, or whatever it is you do. This is one part in a big movement. 2008 will not suck superhero-movie wise. “Iron Man,” from all looks, promises to be a good ride, with an amazing Robert Downey Jr. performance. But what “Iron Man” will lack is one…
Biggest Status Quo Change- The Walking Dead #45 This week in TWD: Dale, Andrea, Glenn, Maggie, Sofia and the twins all packed into the RV and left the prison, while in an attempt to take the fight to the Governor’s men, Tyrese is taken prisoner and Michonne gets her f$&#ing brains blown out. Yeah, not…
Since we’re nearing our year-end awards here at Doomkopf, I thought I’d share another collection of year-end recognition. Year’s Best Graphic Novels, Comics & Manga is what it sounds like – a collection of excerpts from the year’s best graphic novels, comics and manga. It’s from 2005, and I found a copy at a Borders…
