This week, the Book of Doom is the fifth issue of “The Flash: Fastest Man Alive.” I’m still interested in the Flash, in spite of what’s been going on the last few months with his series. I’m reminded of an interview I read on Newsarama awhile back with the writer of this series, and he…
Keeping in line with today and my seething cauldron of hatred over every bit of entertainment I’ve been subject to, I’d like to talk about the television show “Heroes.” While not technically a comic book, or even based on one, I think we can all see the connection between the two mediums. I suppose I…
Twenty-three is a good number. Michael Jordan used to wear it on his jersey, and now we’ve got Lebron James flying the banner high in the sky. My first ATM pin number was “2323.” I like the number quite a bit; however, I hated this issue. It’s the first issue of “52” that I can…
To preface this rant, let me make something clear. I know next to nothing about Worldstorm. I read Wildcats back when I was a kid, along with a boatload of other worthless nonsense that was coming out at the time, so I don’t exactly remember all of it. I also read the “Captain Atom: Armageddon”…
Magnus: Robot Hunted! That tag on the cover makes it sound awesome. If only we were given an entire issue of Doc Magnus being hunted by big robots. We’re only given a few pages worth, though; although, those few pages are just as sweet as the cover promised. This week, number twenty-two of fifty-two, starts…
Well, I’m on beer number six, so I figure it’s about time I put something up about this week’s edition of “52.” The primary focus of this week is on a group of Luthor Everymen that I’ve been referring to as “The Generic Six,” but, according to the cover, we’ve been asking for something, and…
Welcome to the second edition of the Legion of Doom’s Book of Doom. To clear up any confusion, every week we’re going to pick a book at random, kinda, and all of us members of the Legion are going to say a few words about it. We’re not saying that this is the best book…
For the first time in the series, I find myself truly annoyed by “52.” I can put up with Lobo, and I can put up with filler issues, but not both. To start, let’s talk about what actually goes down this week. John Henry Irons opens things, helping fight a fire in some building. He’s…
This week, for the second week in a row, we’re going to try a new roundtable discussion of a current release, or, as we call it, the Book of Doom. Not that it’s necessarily the best thing that came out for the week, but, rather, it’s the book that all of us contributors to the…
This week in “52,” we’re given a big bucket full of question marks. It seems that everywhere you turn in this story, there are more reasons to scratch your head and wait until the next week. It’s compelling, but I’m starting to feel like a dunce, since I really have no clue where it’s all…
