Worst to First: August 26th, 2009

Holy hamburgers, it’s been four months since I’ve reviewed any of my blasted comics! In my defense, I spent a little time in New Yawk City, got a job, did a lot of drinking, and just recently returned from a little European Vacation (not nearly as funny as the movie, btw). Well, okay, so mostly…



The Clone Saga, Version 2.0: Nobody Actually Asked for This, Did They?

If I were to ask you what the absolute worst comic book “events” of the 1990s were, I’m guessing that the Spider-Man Clone Saga would probably end up somewhere between that Onslaught mess and Heroes Reborn. According to Marvel, it’s the, “most controversial event of all time. . .” and later this year, it “….



Firestorm Confirmed as Black Lantern

Click the image for a larger version. So that brings the total of confirmed Black Lanterns up to five. With the reveal of Black Hand as the leader of the group, along with promo images showing both Earth-2 Superman and Aquaman, and now throwing Firestorm and Martian Manhunter into the mix, this team is starting…



Doom and Doomer:
X-Men Origins: Wolverine

DOOM DeLUISE: So Wolverine came out on Friday, and I think it’s safe to say that most people had some serious reservations about it, considering all the negative reviews the bootleg had received. Now that you’ve had a few days to think about it, what’s your general reaction to the movie? JIM DOOM: Well I…



Worst to First: April 29th, 2009

Howdy, how do, sports fans? I haven’t been buying as many comics lately (‘conomy ate mah job and I ain’t got money ta spend), but I picked up a decent number of comics this week, so I figured I’d write something about them. Unfortunately, this format doesn’t really work for me anymore, since I’ve only…



Book of Doom:
Rampaging Wolverine #1

The thing I’ve always liked most about Wolverine is that he’s a character who, for all intents and purposes, is indestructible, but unlike, say, Superman, he’s able to feel pain. That’s one thing that Marvel’s always been pretty good at – – making their characters relatable to the reader. By tempering Wolverine’s healing factor power…



Book of Doom Preview:
Rampaging Wolverine #1

“Herman, how could you? We’ve all thought about counterfeiting jeans at one time or another, but what about the victims? Hard-working designers like Calvin Klein, Gloria Vanderbilt, or Antoine Bugle Boy. These are the people who saw an overcrowded marketplace and said, ‘Me too!’” – Homer Simpson, “The Springfield Connection” While the analogy doesn’t fit…



What I’m Buying – April 8, 2009

Doom DeLuise: • Batman Battle for the Cowl #2 – Like I’ve said before, I’m not really excited for this miniseries, and I doubt it will have any lasting impact on the Batman universe, but I’m still going to read it, because I want to know who Batman is. I’m weird like that, I guess….



X-Men Origins: Wolverine, a Review of the Leak

…will not be found here. Over the course of the past week, Fox has had its hands full trying to deal with a leaked copy of the new X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie. It’s an unfinished version of the film that’s set to be released the first week of May, and it’s floating all over the…



Book of Doom:
Azrael: Death’s Dark Knight #1

I’m sick. This sucked. Take ‘er away, boys. Doom Fritter: If the recession has hit, nobody told Marvel or DC. They keep pumping out more and more titles with little regard to the cropped and controlled distribution of the early decade. I mean, honestly, good for them. They’re apparently doing very well at the moment….
