Welcome to the first installment of Not Safe For Doom, where we honor the best comics of the week in terms of their ability to use full or partial female nudity in order to better tell a compelling story. 6. Captain America #42 Last place. No boobs. 5. Ambush Bug #3 Ambush Bug is shown…
I’ve been going on for months about how I’m ready to ditch Daredevil. The book has become decreasingly interesting to me, following an inverse relationship with my sense that Brubaker has been dragging out the formula of “A Daredevil villain wants to get at Matt Murdock by way of his personal life, which is continuing…
It’s Tuesday. It’s Doomino Effect time. Starting off this week is Guardians of the Galaxy #5, one of my favorite series in existence.

Montoya claims she’s innocent, as she has only infiltrated —…
Starting off the reviews is Secret Six #1. I really got a kick out of this team back when it was Villains United in the pre-Infinite Crisis days, and I’m hoping this series will re-hook me on this cast of characters. We start off seeing that there’s a bad guy who lives in a box…
While reading through some old posts on the site, I couldn’t help but notice a few lines that stuck out more than others. Doom DeLuise: I think that [Brad Meltzer’s] JLA has been an incredibly fun read. … Jim Doom: Are you going to try Countdown? DD: Hell yeah. I’m excited about it. — March…
