Holy awesome costume, Batman. This is the first image of the Batman from the upcoming Warner Bros movie, “The Dark Knight.” It looks a lot more realistic than past Batman costumes, and I, for one, can’t sing its praises enough. Apparently, it’s made up of some 200 different parts, the hardest of which to make…
About ten months ago now, the Justice League was given a new ongoing monthly series (or tri-monthly, for the first few issues), and it’s been a fairly unremarkable ten months. The first story-arc was focused on the Red Tornado and his quest for a human body. In the first issue, we had a decent set-up,…
I’m giving Countdown a stay of execution. While the series didn’t improve much this week, the Jimmy Olsen story alone is going to keep me around for at least one more. So, let’s go through the quick and dirty. This week, Jimmy Olsen decides to do some investigating after he receives an odd note at…
I am totally phoning this one in. One of my best friends is in town, and we’ve been hanging out all day, so, at this point, well, I’m more than drunk, and I must say, I am completely bored by this issue of Countdown. I feel I shouldn’t even dignify it with a response. That’s…
Well, folks, I’m pretty drunk, so you know what time it is. It’s time to review the newest issue of Countdown and talk about what happened in it and stuff.

Welcome to this week’s edition of our weekly roundtable discussion of the newest issue of Wonder Woman, a tie-in to the current big event Amazons Attack! This week, the Legion is joined by special guest reviewer The Fortress Keeper from The Fortress of Fortitude. Overall, the issue seems to have caught all of us off…
I think my criticism against Countdown was a tad premature. I really enjoyed this issue. Whaddya say we run through the plot points real quick. Things open where they ended last time, with Killer Croc breaking free and attacking Jimmy Olsen, who pulls a Plastic Man and warps all out of place; The Monitors talk…
It’s that time of the week again. Time to choose this week’s Book of Doom. As you can tell by the title of this post, if you’re one of the types who actually reads headlines, we’ve decided to pick “Wonder Woman #9.” In case you haven’t been paying much attention to Wonder Woman lately, there’s…
By Paul Dini (W) and Alex Ross (A). Cover price $9.95. Published by DC Comics, 1999. Plot: Superman realizes that there are lots of hungry people in the world, so he decides to try to deliver a bit of food to everybody in the entire world. From what I can tell, he’s delivering either rice…
Let’s recap. Jimmy Olsen finds the Red Hood and questions him about events in the last issue. Red Hood directs him to the Joker. The Joker claims he’s never had a daughter. Killer Croc escapes in the last page and looks to be ready to go Sobek on the little guy. Elsewhile, Mary Marvel still…
