The Doomino Effect for Jan 14, 2009

You know, after Final Crisis #5, I finally felt like I was on the bandwagon. That issue had a lot of crazy going on, but it seemed to be moving in an intriguing direction. The closing splash page, showing that demoted Monitor rising back up to his godlike status, declared “The Judge of All Evil…



Book of Doom: Mysterius the Unfathomable #1

I don’t know any more about this book than what the solicitation tells me.* I don’t know anything about these creators. I do, however, know that I’m sick of most comics I read and the idea of choosing Dark Avengers #1 couldn’t have made me any less enthusiastic. And it’s only $2.99. So I’m taking…



Best and worst of 2008:
Friends of Doomkopf (part 2)

12 Hour Comics: 3:30pm

I’m now finished with 7 pages, though it’s not my best work. Still, it’s exciting to be on such a good pace. Deluise is on page 3. Ragdoll is on page 2.5. “It’s going well,” he said. “My idea’s getting fleshed out, so the pacing is going well.” Here’s a picture of the inspiration for…



12 Hour Comics: 2:00pm

The Colonel and FFD are gone, but Doom Deluise is here and already working on his first page. I’m on page 4. I might actually try 24 pages if the story can sustain it.



12 Hour Comics: 1:16pm

Colonel Doom is giving up.



12 Hour Comics: 12:25pm

We are here. Colonel Doom has developed a character from scribbling. Fin Fang Doom is developing ideas from random words he pulled from a magazine. Doom Deluise is MIA. I’m blogging. No ideas yet.
