I sure could have used a break. Don’t get me wrong, I loved “52,” and I’m just as excited as the next comic fan for “Countdown,” but, seriously, they could have at least given us a week off to enjoy the finale of one series before throwing us right into the next. The cover of…
Phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal. I don’t think I’ve had this much fun reading a comic book in years. The end of 52. And, yet, the beginning of so much else. Way back in Week Seven, I went on and on about how much potential Booster Gold has as a hero, and, well, this issue, all of…
By Mark Millar (W) and Dave Johnson (A). Cover price $17.99. Published by DC Comics, 2003. Originally printed as Superman: Red Son #1-3. Plot: In as little words as possible, this book raises the question, “What if Superman’s rocket crash landed in the Soviet Union instead of the United States?” There is, however, quite a…
The secret of 52 is that the multiverse still exists. How much cooler would this week’s issue be if Dan Didio hadn’t let that little bit of information spill out all those months ago? 52 worlds. 52 Morrows. Apparently, a year ago, when Alexander Luthor’s hands were tearing open space and time, way out near…
World War III is here, and it is one heck of a barn-burning slobber knocker. Throughout the course of week fifty, Black Adam runs the gamut, blasting through Egypt, Australia, Italy, and, finally, China, where he hopes to destroy the government responsible for…well, pretty much every terrible thing that’s happened to him so far in…
After months of buildup, the biggest event of “52” is finally here. World War III. We here at the Legion of Doom have decided to give this momentous event the full coverage it deserves, devoting an entire day to what’s been dubbed “Black Adam versus the World.” Not only will we bring you in-depth looks…
Rising from the pages of Annihilation, Nova gets a fresh new series this week, and it just so happens to be the topic of this week’s Book of Doom, where you get four (or sometimes three or two) reviews for the price of one. Due to the Husker football spring game, I’ve been at work…
If you haven’t seen it already, this image has been floating around the Internets for the past day or so. It’s the first look at Iron Man’s grey suit, as it will appear in the upcoming Jon Favreau directed feature film. Well, upcoming in over a year. But it’s coming! I, for one, would like…
This is the last stop before World War III, and, after many months of speculation and guessing, we’re finally given an answer as to why the mad scientists of Oolong Island were building the Four Horsemen to begin with. This is a big week, and it’s amazingly fun to read. Let’s hit the recap and…
For those of you that didn’t read “Annihilation,” which, I’m guessing, is all of you, let me just fill you in by telling you that it was actually pretty damn good. One of the things that happened in the mini-series was the destruction of the Nova Corps at the hands of Annihilus. All of the…
