Hey, remember when Doom DeLuise stopped caring about Countdown? The series created a whole new level of suck at one point and Del just couldn’t bring himself to review the thing on a weekly basis. Well, I’ve offcially gotten to that point. This issue of Trinity is from last Wednesday’s comics, which I guess is…
Starting off this week’s haul is Batman #683, the conclusion to the two-part “Last Rites” storyline, of which part one was a Book of Doom earlier this month. While working on a separate post about the Gnosticism in Final Crisis, I came upon a July blog on Final Crisis #2 which mentioned one of Grant…
In the madness of getting ready for Christmas and trying to clean up my workspace, I can’t find any of the comics I bought in the past two weeks.

I went to sleep last night, and I swear it was the year 2008. But, then, I woke up this morning to find the new trailer for the Wolverine Origin movie had been thrown up online over at 20th Century Fox’s Myspace Page. Now I’m not so sure what year it is. Is Dane Cook…
This week we took a look at Secret Invasion: Dark Reign #1, the book that carries us from the closing pages of Secret Invasion #8 to everything else that comes next. The end of Secret Invasion left me intrigued, but I’m not sure how much I’ll be following along. Now that the Marvel Universe has…
• I haven’t chimed in since the big Black Friday sales, but it sounds like it was a big hit for everyone in town. • The gang at Capes Comics Lounge released a new video podcast this week, “Batman R.I.P.: more like Batman: WTF,” which you can view at comicbookcrossfire.libsyn.com or on the Capes myspace…
