Fin Fang Doom says: The Walking Dead! No title embodied change the way The Walking Dead did in 2008. In the first few months, writer Robert Kirkman killed the majority of the cast and kicked the survivors out of the prison they’d called home for 36 issues. The he switched things up to be about…
Doom DeLuise says: The Flash! I’m not sure if this series has been any good in the past couple years, at all, but this year it was so bad that I actually dropped it. This coming from a guy who’s such a huge Flash fan that he even stuck with it through Bart’s awful run,…
Fin Fang Doom says: Secret Six! Both Birds of Prey and Gail Simone have suffered in quality since the two parted ways a while ago. Tony Bedard’s BoP is mercifully being put down in a few months, and Simone hasn’t been able to do anything to hold my interest (and I gave Wonder Woman plenty…
Have you been keeping up with New Krypton? All of us here at Doomkopf were in agreement that it’s the Best Crossover of 2008. This week’s new issue of Action Comics marks the conclusion of the event, so we’ve decided to review it for this week’s Book of Doom round-table discussion (coming up on Saturday)….
Jim Doom says: X-Force! It’s hard to be too informed in a judgment of a bad series. Typically, when something is terrible, I just stop buying it. The launch of X-Force was just part of the shallow stupidity that concluded Messiah CompleX. In my review of issue #1, I said “My big problem with X-Force…
Jim Doom says: New Krypton! Thanks to that great New Krypton #1 special, I’ve started buying Superman and Supergirl, whereas I previously only bought Action. My initial plans were to just avoid the crossover and drop Action for a while. Good work, DC! Fin Fang Doom says: New Krypton! There’s nothing better than a crossover…
Doom DeLuise says: Batman RIP! While I enjoyed the Batman RIP story told within the pages of Batman proper, I can’t say that I much cared for dragging all of the other Bat-books into the big crossover event, as they never really interconnected in any sort of crossing-over fashion, aside from the fact that it…
Jim Doom says: Sandman: The Dream Hunters! It’s only halfway complete by 2008’s end, but I love the first two issues. The story and the art are beautiful. I’m also not a faithful Neil Gaiman follower in any way, so my love of this has nothing to do with Gaiman or Sandman loyalty. And the…
Fin Fang Doom says: DCU: Decisions! What a cool idea for a mini-series timed to coincide with the election: how would a Presidential election go in the DC Universe? Clearly Americans in the DCU would have different concerns than actual Americans would (Homeland Security might understandably rank a little higher for them). But DCU: Decisions…
Sorry it took so long for this review to get up, but we’ve been behind in getting our comics, and we’ve all been pretty busy with other stuff. Hope you can forgive us, because this is the last time I’m ever apologizing for anything, ever again. Incognito #1, to me, seems like a perfect first…
