Countdown sucks, right? Ok, that’s out of the way. There’s a moment in this issue that really annoyed the hell out of me, so I’d like to take a minute to talk about it before we actually get into the down-and-dirty of what “happens” through the rest of this little rag. Here’s what it is:…
If you’re still buying Countdown, I’d be willing to bet you’re either a) a masochist, b) a fan of watching slow motion car crash videos, c) illiterate, or d) highly delusional of the comic’s worth. It has none. However, if you still are buying Countdown, my guess is that you’re not enjoying it enough to…
Welcome back, everybody. Just twelve hours later, sporting one wicked hangover, I’m back and ready to talk about this week’s issue of Countdown, which, for those of you keeping track, is the Countdown equivalent to “52’s” Week Nineteen, the week that Skeets made his full-fledged heel-turn and everything started going crazy. Has Countdown reached the…
Hello, boys and girls. Are you ready for this week’s issue of the dreadfully awful series “Countdown?” Let’s hope so, because this is the fucking review of it. Let’s begin at the beginning. To start, Piper and Trickster are strung upside down by the side of a building, for Batman to find, by Poison Ivy…
[SFX: Podcast of Doom theme music] DOOM DELUISE: Hello, everybody. Welcome to a very special Book of Doom installment. This week, I foolishly forgot to post a preview for this weekend’s Book of Doom, so hopefully you had a chance to pick up the topic of this week’s dicussion, “The Mice Templar #1.” Joining me…
If you’re anything like I was last week, you were unable to recognize obscure forearms. You needn’t worry, though, because, this week, we see the exact big-bad guy that was threatening the Palmerverse perusers last week, and, lo-and-behold, it wasn’t a guy, afterall. It was some big-bad woman, yet she doesn’t seem threatening in the…
Well, for the first time in this series, it feels like something actually happened this issue. Aside from one glaring editorial mistake, I think this issue actually flows pretty well and left me somewhat satisfied. First time for everything, eh? The cover shows that Mary Marvel is taking control over Zatanna, and I must first…
Well, it took me awhile, but here I am. A day late? No, more like 12 days late. A dollar short, though? You better think again, little man. I’m back, and I have some reviewing to do, so let’s begin at issue 37 of what has been, to this point, the single worst comic book…
I’m not really sure what to say about Black Adam anymore. When we saw him last in 52, he was a faceless drifter, alone and seething with anger over the deaths of his brother and wife. During World War III, he was unable to hold those responsible fully accountable for their actions. He was stripped…
