Remember back when Black Adam was the baddest man alive? Public Enemy #1? The cause of World War III? Well, so do I. This new mini-series is supposedly going to fill in the gap between the last time we saw a very angry, hell-bent on revenge, de-powered Teth-Adam in Week Fifty-Two of 52, and when…
Earlier today, I was sitting around thinking of something that I could compare Countdown to, so that even the lay-person who reads these reviews would understand how crappy it is, and I came up with a really creative, totally original idea, all on my own! Have you ever seen the show Big Brother After Dark?…
Another week, another bland effort from DC as far as Countdown goes. This one is bad, bad, bad, and I mean bad. Were you really expecting much else? Here’s how it goes: The issue opens with the story of Ryan Choi (the All-New Atom), along with Donna Troy, Jason Todd, and Bob the Monitor, right…
If you’re wondering where the pick for this week’s Book of Doom came from, you may not be alone. Well, you may be alone, too, but, no, don’t worry, there’s no way you could’ve seen this coming, because I never posted an announcement earlier in the week. So, I guess you could say it’s coming…
You know what would be a really nice touch to add to Countdown? An actual narrative. Or, failing that, some compelling dialogue or entertaining fight sequences. Or, failing even that modest request, something relatively pretty to look at. Unfortunately, none of that stuff graces the pages of this worthless rag. I really don’t enjoy being…
I thought I was done with this damn series. The other night, though, I got drunk and realized that I missed blogging about how much Countdown sucks after tying one on, so I asked Jesus Christ Venereal Disease to let me take the reins once again. In a simple twist of fate, it turns out…
There may not be too much to be proud of these days for us Americans, but, for one day, we can put all of that behind us and celebrate the birth of our nation by spending a lot of money, getting really smashed, and blowing up some loud shit. There aren’t any new comic books…
So the Flash is dead. Oh, wait, Wally’s back, so, no, I guess it’s just Bart Allen that’s dead. Bummer, right? Well, maybe. This week’s Book of Doom is, obviously, Flash #13, as I have a real knack for picking issues where the main character bites it. First Captain America, and now this. This death…
Apologies for the late notice, but I’ve been one busy guy lately. Anyway, in case you are unfamiliar with the concept behind our weekly Book of Doom, this week, you should go out and buy Flash #13, if you haven’t already, read it, come back on Saturday, read our thoughts on it, and share some…
Boy howdy, a lot of stuff sure did happen this week in the DC Universe! The Legion of Superheroes from the 31st Century finally made their purpose known in the pages of Justice League of America, one of the biggest characters in the universe died, another returned from the dead, and the JLA got its…
