Something I often find interesting is looking at what the non traditional comics fans are reading. Thankfully lately it is easier to get an idea of what interests the general public. Things like the New York Times best sellers list for Graphic Books help show what is popular among the traditional booksellers. Librarian Robin…
It’s a busy week for releases and I’m sure there will be plenty of reviews and comments on various Blackest Night and other high profile books. I thought I would focus on something with a slightly lower profile, that being Gotham City Sirens. The series revolves around Catwoman, Harley Quinn, and Poison Ivy finding themselves…
It’s taken me five issues to confirm my suspicion that The Flash just isn’t for me. It’s easy enough to read “The Flash: Rebirth” and think that maybe The Flash is just a downright stupid character based on utter ridiculousness, but that doesn’t take into consideration the longevity of the character or the fact that…
R.E.B.E.L.S. #10 came out more then a week ago. I only just now got around to reading it and it was pleasantly surprise. This is one of the Blackest Night ring incentive books that DC has been putting out, where you get a ring from one of the Lantern Corps along with the comic. This book…
It’s not affiliated with the official Comic-Con, but a local organizer is building on San Diego’s reputation as a happening spot for conventions. From San Diego CityBeat: With four-day San Diego Comic-Con International passes unprecedentedly selling out in early November, does San Diego need another con? And four times a year at that? If the…

MG Doom vs. Manga ends in a no contest My fight with manga is now over after a rather dumb technicality on my part. I was pouring through lists of manga to try and come up with my own list of manga worth reading for someone like me. It turns out there is already a site that…
By Grant Morrison and Dave McKean 15th Anniversary Edition published in 2004 by DC Comics This won’t be a traditional Library of Doom review because I imagine at this point in human history, 20 years after its initial publication, there are probably few people interested in a traditional review of Arkham Asylum. Prior to last…
A fellow Doom, the Doctor to be precise, will be going to war this February in the DoomWar mini series. CBR has a interview with editor Axel Alonso and artist Scot Eaton about the project. To sum up Dr. Doom tried to kill T’Challa the Black Panther leading to him being gravely injured and his sister…
Despite all the helpful information I have received this week regarding manga I still can’t shake the feeling of being overwhelmed by it. Daryl Surat of Anime World Order has been a big help in explaining why I have had so many problems. Essentially the manga translated into English has been the type geared towards…
