DC comics is expanding their Vertigo imprint with an imprint of its own. I caught wind of Vertigo Noir in this month’s Previews, and I must admit to being slightly curious. Vertigo is more or less the only DC stuff I’ve ever picked up, and as I’ve posted before, I loves me some crime stories….
Doom DeLuise: • Batman Battle for the Cowl #2 – Like I’ve said before, I’m not really excited for this miniseries, and I doubt it will have any lasting impact on the Batman universe, but I’m still going to read it, because I want to know who Batman is. I’m weird like that, I guess….
[SFX: Intro music] JIM DOOM: Hello and welcome to this week’s Podcast of Doom. I only bought two books last week, and my cohost, Doom DeLuise, picked up the same two books, so I thought I’d make this week’s podcast an audio version of the Doomino Effect. [Audience boos] JIM DOOM: Well, it was either…
I would not be surprised if I’m flying solo on this one. While one of the goals of the Book of Doom is to try something new, or at least choose a good hopping-on point, I may have picked something a little too out-there for my Doomkopf peers. I’m hoping not, but I’m obviously insecure…
…will not be found here. Over the course of the past week, Fox has had its hands full trying to deal with a leaked copy of the new X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie. It’s an unfinished version of the film that’s set to be released the first week of May, and it’s floating all over the…
The thing about Nick Fury is that he always works better when he’s lurking around in the background. The trouble with that, however, is that it makes him an incredibly compelling character; one that you would like to see more of. Fury is a character that’s built to fill in holes, smooth over rough patches,…
Geektyrant has a rundown of some of the gossip surrounding Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, including a list of the robots in the film. Among the highlights: • Some of the Autobots are deliberately stupid and childlike, but that’s what the kids like, according to Michael Bay. I’m having a tough time imagining Autobots acting even…
Dark X-Men. Dammit Marvel! Namor, Cloak and Dagger, Daken, Angel or Icarus or Mimic or something with wings, Professor Xavier and Emma Frost (or someone with a similarly constructed … frame) and Omega the Unknown … well, probably not on that last one. Is the lady in black perhaps Adriana Frost? So they’re stealing the…
“Therefore Repent!” is one of the coolest books you’ve never read. Set in the midst of the end times in Chicago, it’s about a few things – how to deal with the rapture, and what exactly is going on. Why is George Bush making appearances with Jesus Christ, and why are armed angels patrolling the…
I’m responsible for the Book of Doom this week, and as all three of my regular titles came out last week, I’ll be venturing into somewhat new territory, here. While I was really curious about the comics adaptation of Pride & Prejudice, and while Doominator tried to vicariously spite my fellow Doomers and having me…
