First off, many apologies for the tardiness of this week’s Book of Doom. I had in-laws in town this weekend and completely spaced it until I was already in bed last night. So as for War of Kings #1, we’ve got the Starjammers on Hala for the wedding of Crystal and Ronan. For some reason,…
Welcome one and all to this week’s edition of Stump the Doominator, brought to you this week by a nasty Yuengling hangover and a sinking feeling inside me. Remember the fun of it all – you ask me a question, and in varying degrees of accuracy and a solid state of flipancy, I try to…
Of course you knew that, you’re a total nerd. So we’ll see whose right … is it Jim Doom or Alan Moore, a la this cartoon, found at The Ephemerist? We’ll see. Do I smell a roundtable or Podcast of Doom?
This is what Guardians of the Galaxy has been building up to. I love me some Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning and Paul Pelletier. As for the rest, I’ll let the solicitation do the talking. WRITER: DAN ABNETT ANDY LANNING PENCILS: PAUL PELLETIER In the aftermath of the Secret Invasion, Black Bolt has led the Inhumans…

I’m going to blast through this today because I am hopefully going to an early screening of Watchmen tonight and I need to get out the door. Speaking of blasting through things, that leads me to Superman #685 in which Mon-El has emerged from the Phantom Zone but he’s gonna die from lead poisoning. Superman’s…
This past week, I bought six issues, and it was an even split between Marvel titles and DC titles. While nothing monumental happened in any of them, some were better than others. Some set up interesting things to come, some retold origins of characters, and two of them featured covers by Alex Ross. Seriously, enough…
Nebraska’s two largest newspapers have both run Watchmen primers to prepare their readers for the film’s release Friday. • The Omaha World-Herald posted an interactive graphic called “Know Your Watchmen,” allowing readers to get a quick sense of each of the main characters in the book. The trivia feature makes this especially cool for comic…
