In this episode: Green Lantern #37 | Amazing Spider-Man #583 | Guardians of the Galaxy #9 | Mysterius the Unfathomable #1 | Superman Beyond #2 Speaking of Superman Beyond 3D #2, I skipped the first issue last summer because it struck me as dumb. Then Doom DeLuise told me that issue #1 explained how Superman…
This is it, folks. The conclusion we’ve all been. . . waiting for? After a full year of build up (I can’t type that with a straight face), six stuffed issues, and several spin-off mini-series, this is the end of the line for Grant Morrison’s epic final chapter in the Crisis Trilogy. For the most…
Here we are. The final post in the 2008 year-end wrap-up. We hope you’ve enjoyed reading our picks and pans from the past year, and now we leave you with the main event. We at Doomkopf tend to stick to superhero comics, with capes, tights, spandex, and a healthy dose of crazy powers, so the…
Doom DeLuise says: Iron Man! Iron Man had a rough couple of years, what with being the “bad guy” during Civil War and his unpopular stint as the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. In 2008, however, he started to redeem himself with a new continuity-free series and some badass moments during the Skrull invasion. What really set…
So I finally caught an episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold, the newest DC show on Cartoon Network. A friend drew my attention to it a few weeks ago, saying it was very “old school,” and that I should check it out. Several DVR cycles and auto-erasing due to space constraints later, I…
Doom DeLuise says: That Dark Tower Guy! I’ll be honest with you; I don’t know dick about this series. I bought the first issue of the Gunslinger in 2007, but that’s the extent of it. My old roommate used to buy this stupid thing all the time, though, and I’d occasionally read an issue while…
I chose Mysterius the Unfathomable #1 as this week’s Book of Doom because I was looking for something completely different to dig me out of my spandex superhero rut. And with that as my goal, it was a complete success. I went into this with absolutely no familiarity whatsoever with either creator. I was quickly…
Jim Doom says: The Black Glove! I’ll confess that I was pretty hard up for a good answer to this, but I dug Batman RIP quite a bit this year so this is what I settled on. I like the idea of this villain that is sort of nowhere but everywhere, with several origins, ambiguous…
Newsarama has a new interview up today with Dan Didio, editor-in-chief of DC Comics, in which they ask him the following question: Let’s talk about Final Crisis #6 – the book, as you mentioned, did well for you, and sold out, but that was the “conclusive” death of Batman, despite the conclusion of the “Batman…
