The following is an interior page from Mighty Avengers #4, which may or may not be out by the time I post this thing: Granted, I don’t read Mighty Avengers, so this may not be a good example of the their use in the title, but was the much bally-hooed return of thought bubbles just…
Moment of the Week- Oracle’s posse shows up, Birds of Prey #108 Birds of Prey #108 had a lot of ground to cover. In what I believe was Gail Simone’s last issue on the title, she wraps up the Secret Six crossover story, has a knock-down drag-out fight between Spy Smasher and Oracle, and finishes…
With Jean-Claude Van Doom on the move and Jim Doom on his honeymoon, that just leaves little old me to review this week’s comics on Doomkopf. So I’m ditching my traditional Meaningless Awards reviews for more thorough coverage of what came out this week. Luckily, Doom DeLuise is back to reviewing Countdown, and Green Lantern…
Okay, yeah, so Green Lantern #21 wasn’t quite as wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am as our last Book of Doom, The Sinestro Corps Special, but then again the second part of a mulit-part storyline rarely packs the same punch as the first one did. The Special had a lot of work to do, setting up all the story and…
A few weeks ago, the Sinestro Corps Special was our Book of Doom. All of us here at Doomkopf loved it, so I figured we might as well make the Sinestro War our unofficial Event of Doom and pick the next chapter of the story as this week’s BoD. As an extra special bonus, I’ve…
Ending of the Week- Runaways #27 It’s been three years or so since the first volume of Runaways ended. In the final issue of that series, all of the Pride died. It was fitting end to that first arc, and I really thought those characters were gone for good. So I was pretty shocked when…
Bad Idea of the Week- going to Wal-Mart, The Walking Dead #38 Going to Wal-Mart is never a pleasant experience. It takes forever to get through the checkout. The aisles are always crammed full of unnecessary displays and the elderly. If you can find an employee to ask a question, they never know the answer…oh…
Last week Marvel announced that it was canceling Sensational Spider-Man and Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man in favor of publishing three issues of Amazing Spider-Man every month. I’ve got very mixed feelings about that, so it’s time to dust off an old theme I honestly expected to use more often: Good Idea, Bad Idea. Good Idea! Speeding…
Monday afternoon I broke down and bought World War Hulk #1. I had sworn off the crossover after I was unable to procure a copy of Incredible Hulk #106 for our Book of Doom review. I was sort of crossovered out anyway, and missing the first issue of the crossover seemed like a sign to…
Unlike Jean-Claude Van Doom, I didn’t enjoy this week’s comics very much. Nova was great, Green Lantern Corp was pretty good, and Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man was decent. Everything else kind of sucked. So I’m going all negative this week. Worst Writer of the Week- Chris Claremont, Exiles #95 Ugliest Cover of the Week- Exiles #95…
