The Incredible Hercules is one of my favorite books out right now, and I was hoping this “jumping on” point would be the best opportunity for the series to do all the talking for me. As I write this, I haven’t heard the reaction from the others, but I doubt I’ll have succeeded in proving…
I’m overdue getting one of these up and there is a lot to cover! • Krypton Comics is giving away two passes to a special early screening of Watchmen. Stop in tonight through Sunday (Feb 27-Mar 1) to enter. The screening is Tuesday, March 3 at 7:30 p.m. and is sponsored by Power 106.9 and…
As a child, I feared for my livelihood. Marvel Comics, the only thing I had to live for as a lad of 10, was going bankrupt. There was talks DC might buy them. There were talks that they’d go under. There were talks talks talks. Then they just axed a bunch of titles and resorted…
I literally laughed out loud when I saw that Youngblood #8 was going to have an Obama cover, as if there could be a more eye-rollingly transparent attempt to cash in on the same excitement surrounding the Amazing Spider-Man Obama cover. Well, apparently, it works. CBR is reporting that Youngblood #8 is sold out, “despite…
Powerpop Comics founder Hobby Jones has started a blog covering the early days of his new publishing company. In the interest of full disclosure, I do some work for Powerpop, but I’m posting this more as someone who is interested in this type of thing. I had encouraged Hobby to start a blog months ago…
Jim Doom: • Captain America #47 – Part 1 of “Oral Pleasure.” • Green Lantern #38 – It will probably be crap because the story has to get trimmed to make room for a pointless Origins & Omens story. • Incredible Hercules #126 – It’s the Book of Doom! I’m pretty curious about this. Doom Fritter…
In this episode: Mysterius the Unfathomable #2 | Johnny Monster #1 | Guardians of the Galaxy #10 Speaking of Guardians of the Galaxy #10, this was definitely my least favorite of the series so far. I have been a huge fan of the writing in this book, but the attempts at snappy dialogue were downright…
I mentioned, not long ago, my unexpected love for The Incredible Hercules, and along with it I mentioned that I probably won’t be able to actually convince anybody to pick it up, so what better way to force people to read something than by making it my pick for this week’s Book of Doom.
He was a big part of making The Sinestro Corps as great as it was. He’s half of the creative team restoring Barry Allen to the DC Universe. He’s also writing a regular column for Newsarama. And now Ethan Van Scriver has taken some time out of his schedule to participate in Doomkopf’s Decem Quaesiti…
This feature – where I try to sum up a complicated storyline or storylife in one sentence – is still fairly new. But Stump the Doominator submissions this week were … scant. Really scant. In fact, three of these are Doom DeLuise questions. We’ll start with those: Explain Hypertime. Hypertime is Mark Waid being an…
