I didn’t know what to to expect going into DC Universe #0. This is the third time DC has released a bargain-priced universe-wide one-shot, and while Countdown to Infinite Crisis was one of the best single issues of any comic ever, Brave New World was a bunch of crappy short stories designed to get you…
It’s been three weeks since the Book of Doom returned with a vengeance, with a 4-day review-thon spotlighting as many books. Since then, we here at doomkopf.com haven’t been able to decide on a book that we had enough interest in to sit down and write a review. This week Superman #675, the final Kurt…
SPOILER ALERT!! If you haven’t read The Walking Dead #48 yet, you’re better off just checking out Mary Marvel’s rack. I wouldn’t want to ruin anything for you. Holy frak. Robert Kirkman was not kidding when he named the latest storyline in The Walking Dead “No One Is Safe.” I don’t remember the last time…
In case anyone was wondering, yes, Mary Marvel does in fact have boobs. See? They’re right up there. Nice and big, so you can really get a sense of how her boobs define her character. Also of note: Mary’s left boob, the logical thinking one, is evil, while her right bood, the creative one, is…
We interrupt this irregularly scheduled review for this breaking news bulletin. (Okay, so I’m sure this “news” is far from “breaking.” Usually the internet is weeks ahead of the Previews, so I’m probably way behind the curve.) I nearly blew a gasket today when I left the comic store and caught a glance of the…
The Best Writer Award- Ed Brubaker If only three Ed Brubaker books came out every week. Captain America #35, Daredevil #105 and Criminal Vol. 2 #1 all come out this week, and not surprisingly, all of them were awesome. Daredevil was the conclusion to the Mister Fear arc, and what a conclusion it was. DD…
The Dead Is Dead Award- The Walking Dead #46 People don’t stay dead very long in comics. Cable came back before the crossover during which he died had even ended. Professor X and Layla Miller probably won’t be dead all that long from their deaths in the very same crossover. Ted Kord, Green Arrow and…
I can’t be the only one that noticed the Oceanic Airlines advertisements in this week’s Marvel comics. There was one ad on top of a cab in Daredevil, and there was another one behind Apocalypse in Ultimate X-Men. Those things looked so out of place that they were pretty much all I could focus on…
Doominato says: Mike Carey, Ed Brubaker, Peter David, Craig Kyle and Chris Yost! I really like Grant Morrison, but his turnout this year has been pretty lax. I don’t really have a good vote. Except for the combination of writers that gave me a throbbing gristle for “Messiah Complex.” Fin Fang Doom says: Ed Brubaker!…
Jim Doom says: Tie (Ivan Reis on Green Lantern and Leinil Yu on New Avengers)! As far as my personal enjoyment of comics goes, it was a treat that the two best artists of the year were able to work on books written by the two best writers of the year. While I tend to…
