Thursday night, Doom DeLuise gave me a call to ask if I had read my comics for the week yet. He said there was one issue in particular that I’d find quite interesting. Unfortunately, he thought I’d find that issue interesting because it would annoy the living hell out of me and hopefully get me…
I really expected Gail Simone to hit one out of the ballpark with her first issue of Wonder Woman. Well, she didn’t, but that doesn’t mean she didn’t deliver an entertaining issue. Wonder Woman versus an albino gorilla army was a nice way to start of the issue. It was a good action scene, and…
Wonder Woman sucks. Seriously, the last time anything remotely interesting happened in the pages of a Wonder Woman comic was over two years ago when she snapped Max Lord’s neck. Nothing of note happened during the final pre-Infinite Crisis issues. The big One Year Later launch fell flatter than anything this side of Trials of…
While browsing newsarama.com today, I came upon an interesting bit of news: One More Day has been pushed back yet again. About a year ago, when the final arc of J. Michael Starcynski’s run on Amazing Spider-Man was announced, it was supposed to come out weekly in August. When it finally came time to solicit…
Wow, it’s hard to believe it’s Saturday already. What’s that you say? It’s Tuesday? I’m three days late posting this week’s (or last week’s, rather) Book of Doom? Nonsense. And besides, at least I’m not weeks behind like Doom DeLuise was with his Countdown reviews. My self-imposed, Harry Potter-inspired exile from comics continues this week,…
I’m lazy. Written by Jim Starlin; Art and Covers by Starlin and Matt Banning; Variant cover by Ryan Sook The title says it all! For months now readers have witnessed the unimaginable and unthinkable as New Gods across the DCU have seemingly died, with Lightray’s death in COUNTDOWN the biggest of them all. Now, the…
It’s Monday afternoon and I still haven’t read any of my comics from last Wednesday. Okay, I read New Avengers since it was this week’s Book of Doom, but other than that I haven’t read a comic in well over a week. Instead, I’ve finished Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix and started…
I usually read all my comics right away when I get home from the comic shop on Wednesday. I realized last week that this means by the time Monday rolls around, I really haven’t thought about my weekly comics for a while and don’t have much to say about them. Hence the earlier than normal…
Nothing I bought this week was anything special. Everything was just as good, bad or so-so as it’s been for a while. Criminal was great, Cable & Deadpool was tremendous fun, The Spirit was confusing, Countdown was boring…you get the jist. So no reviews from me this week. But just now I was looking through…
