Andy Diggle just confirmed on twitter what had been rumored since Joe Quesada accidentally slipped last week — Diggle will take over Daredevil with the renumbered issue #501. I have mixed feelings on this. The only Diggle work I’ve ever read was Green Arrow: Year One, and while it started strong, I ended up hating it….
There’s been a lot of content going up in the last 24 hours (don’t miss the quickly bumped Watchmen review) and there’s still more coming (Book of Doom preview), so I’m going to keep this brief. • Daredevil #116, Return of the King part 1 – great introduction to the new arc. I wish I…
JIM DOOM: So did you see Watchmen yet? DOOM DeLUISE: Yes I did. JIM DOOM: I read Sunday morning that it had a three-day opening of $55.7 million. How do they know that on Sunday morning? Isn’t Sunday part of the three-day total? DOOM DeLUISE: Sunday’s an estimate. Actual figures don’t come out until Monday….
First off, many apologies for the tardiness of this week’s Book of Doom. I had in-laws in town this weekend and completely spaced it until I was already in bed last night. So as for War of Kings #1, we’ve got the Starjammers on Hala for the wedding of Crystal and Ronan. For some reason,…

I know to some people, any kind of reaction whatsoever can be considered a spoiler, so in the interest of protecting all potential surprises, my best efforts at compiling spoiler-free thoughts on the film are after the jump….
I’m going to blast through this today because I am hopefully going to an early screening of Watchmen tonight and I need to get out the door. Speaking of blasting through things, that leads me to Superman #685 in which Mon-El has emerged from the Phantom Zone but he’s gonna die from lead poisoning. Superman’s…
Nebraska’s two largest newspapers have both run Watchmen primers to prepare their readers for the film’s release Friday. • The Omaha World-Herald posted an interactive graphic called “Know Your Watchmen,” allowing readers to get a quick sense of each of the main characters in the book. The trivia feature makes this especially cool for comic…
I’m overdue getting one of these up and there is a lot to cover! • Krypton Comics is giving away two passes to a special early screening of Watchmen. Stop in tonight through Sunday (Feb 27-Mar 1) to enter. The screening is Tuesday, March 3 at 7:30 p.m. and is sponsored by Power 106.9 and…
I literally laughed out loud when I saw that Youngblood #8 was going to have an Obama cover, as if there could be a more eye-rollingly transparent attempt to cash in on the same excitement surrounding the Amazing Spider-Man Obama cover. Well, apparently, it works. CBR is reporting that Youngblood #8 is sold out, “despite…
