Impending Doom:
December ’08 Previews

Posted in ,

I had a lot of time to look at the new issue of Previews over the holiday weekend. Starting off we’ve got the Marvel Previews insert. Cover: “Ultimatum brings about the end of two teams,” it says, promising the end of Ultimate Fantastic Four and Ultimate X-Men. Good riddance. I remember reading Ultimate X-Men for…

The Doomino Effect for the week of Nov 19, 2008

Posted in

So I went against my word and decided to pick up Supergirl #35, part 5 in the New Krypton saga. It turned out to be not quite as skippable as I thought, which was nice. It did, however, open with one of the best jokes I’ve found recently in a comic book. General Lane is…

Book of Doom:
Fantastic Four #561

Posted in ,

My fears that I’d be flying solo this week turned out to be relatively unfounded, as Fin Fang Doom and Jason from Legend joined us again this week. More from them in a minute. I haven’t been reading Fantastic Four at all, but I thought this seemed like a fairly interesting point to jump in….

Subconscious of Doom

Posted in

I had a dream last week that this week was Thanksgiving, so comics came out on Tuesday. Doom DeLuise and I decided to go to a different comic shop on this particular week, which happened to be the week that Batman #681 came out — the conclusion to Batman R.I.P. This shop reminded me a…

The Doomino Effect for Nov 12, 2008

Posted in

Let’s kick off this week’s reviews with Wolverine #69, the delayed fourth chapter to the Old Man Logan storyline. I couldn’t believe it, but it’s been almost three months since chapter 3 came out. That’s nuts. I knew it had been awhile, but I didn’t realize how long until I actually checked. I read chapter…

Book of Doom:
Fantastic Four #561

Posted in

It’s entirely likely I’ll be flying solo for this week’s roundtable. For your legion of Doomkopf, this is a pretty terrible week of comics. The only book I normally pick up that’s coming out this week is The Goon, and quite frankly I’m not going to subject the rest of the gang to that. Instead,…

The Book of Lies

Posted in ,

By Brad Meltzer (W) Published by Grand Central Publishing, 2008; 336 pages; $25.99 Comparisons between The Book of Lies and The DaVinci Code are probably unavoidable; they’re mystery / murder / thrillers in which the protagonists seek to solve an ancient mystery. In some ways, this is like The DaVinci Code for comics fans, because…
