… is not happening. Sorry! No one sent me questions. Shame, shame. If you want to send some for next week, send them on to doominator_at_doomkopf_dot_com. So instead, I just want to disagree with most people on the board and say I liked the Watchmen movie. For me, it highlighted something important: the inherent ridiculousness…
One year for Christmas, I got my niece the book “Coraline” by Neil Gaiman, in an attempt to turn her into a total dork. It paid off, and quickly, she was enamored with Neil Gaiman, so I gave her a Sandman volume and my copy of Neverwhere. Not sure if she ever read those, but…
Since 2005, Julia Wertz has been writing the autobiographical, misanthropic strip known as The Fart Party. But recently, she released I Saw You …, an anthology of comics based on real life missed connections from Craigslist and other sources. Funny, sad, creepy and just weird, the anthology assembles works by knowns and unknowns, including the…
Welcome one and all to this week’s edition of Stump the Doominator, brought to you this week by a nasty Yuengling hangover and a sinking feeling inside me. Remember the fun of it all – you ask me a question, and in varying degrees of accuracy and a solid state of flipancy, I try to…
Of course you knew that, you’re a total nerd. So we’ll see whose right … is it Jim Doom or Alan Moore, a la this cartoon, found at The Ephemerist? We’ll see. Do I smell a roundtable or Podcast of Doom?
Salon had an interesting piece today on Swamp Thing and Alan Moore’s politics in the midst of so much Reagan. It can be found here. While nothing staggeringly ground breaking, it does make a lot of connections to attempted counter-culture movements of the time: It’s been said that Moore was ahead of his time by…
Well, it seems that despite my own superpowers, my car is not invincible, and Sunday when I should have written this, I was stuck in a snow storm in Aberdeen, MD waiting to see if I could get a serpentine belt for my car. Wouldn’t you know, you can’t find those on a Sunday night…
As a child, I feared for my livelihood. Marvel Comics, the only thing I had to live for as a lad of 10, was going bankrupt. There was talks DC might buy them. There were talks that they’d go under. There were talks talks talks. Then they just axed a bunch of titles and resorted…
This feature – where I try to sum up a complicated storyline or storylife in one sentence – is still fairly new. But Stump the Doominator submissions this week were … scant. Really scant. In fact, three of these are Doom DeLuise questions. We’ll start with those: Explain Hypertime. Hypertime is Mark Waid being an…
So, I learned something very important. Don’t try new things. Ever. You’ll get burnt and disappointed, and your friends will think less of you. That is, at least, what I surmised from the reactions to Johnny Monster #1. In my own views, the issue was certainly not good. It was kind of fun – you…
