Best Storyline in an Ongoing Series of 2008

Doom DeLuise says: The Death of Captain America, Captain America! This was truly an epic storyline that began in the wake of Civil War and continued to its conclusion just a couple months ago. It’s been said countless times before, but the true testament to this book’s awesomeness is that the title character’s death has…



Worst Storyline in an Ongoing Series of 2008

Fin Fang Doom says: “New Ways to Die,” Amazing Spider-Man! While Amazing Spider-Man has been disappointingly good since Brand New Day started at the beginning of the year, the first “major” arc really fell flat for me. With Spider-Man, the Thunderbolts, Anti-Venom and Norman Osborn, there was just way too much going on in a…



Book of Doom:
Action Comics #873

This week, we chose Action Comics for our Book of Doom, because it’s the conclusion to the quite entertaining New Krypton story-arc, and we were all interested in seeing how that wrapped up, as well as what the new status-quo is going to be in the Superman books. And now I really don’t care. I’m…



Best and worst of 2008:
Friends of Doomkopf (part 2)

As we enter the final week of our year-end awards, here are some more thoughts from several friends of Doomkopf. Robb @ Capes Comics: Best Ongoing Series: Green Lantern As a whole, Green Lantern has been the best title out there for your money. The team of Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis have delivered the…



12 Hour Comics: the conclusion

I lost my connection at the coffee shop, so this is late coming, but Doom DeLuise and I both finished shortly before 9 p.m. Doing the 12 hour challenge was definitely a lot easier than the 24 hour challenge, but there’s something about the agony of the 24 hour challenge that definitely adds to the…



12 Hour Comics: 5:50pm

DD and I took a break for some Arby’s. He’s on page 6; I just finished page 10. I’ve slipped from the 24 page pace, sadly.



12 Hour Comics: 3:30pm

I’m now finished with 7 pages, though it’s not my best work. Still, it’s exciting to be on such a good pace. Deluise is on page 3. Ragdoll is on page 2.5. “It’s going well,” he said. “My idea’s getting fleshed out, so the pacing is going well.” Here’s a picture of the inspiration for…



12 Hour Comics: 2:00pm

The Colonel and FFD are gone, but Doom Deluise is here and already working on his first page. I’m on page 4. I might actually try 24 pages if the story can sustain it.



12 Hour Comics: 1:16pm

Colonel Doom is giving up.



12 Hour Comics: 12:25pm

We are here. Colonel Doom has developed a character from scribbling. Fin Fang Doom is developing ideas from random words he pulled from a magazine. Doom Deluise is MIA. I’m blogging. No ideas yet.
