I would just like to point out that I made this in November 2014, and Mad Max: Fury Road didn’t come out until May 2015. I loved MM:FR, but also hated the fact that this was always going to seem derivative of it.
My comics from the past two weeks are all mixed up so this is two weeks’ worth of comics all mixed up. Not that it’s probably worth noting that they’re “all mixed up,” since it’s not as if I review these things in any kind of order. Speaking of order, that leads me to Justice…
This, from BleedingCool. I can’t tell if Johnston is answering the question as “These are my top 5 DC writers,” or “Based on Marvel solicitations or other planning news that has since emerged, these must be the five to whom Brevoort is referring.” I think I credit Scott Snyder’s run on the New 52 Batman…
I normally would do a Doomino Effect this time of week (if by “normally” you’ll accept “once every couple of years after previously doing it every week”), but this past week I only bought four comics — two issues of the new Ted McKeever book (my shop only had #2 and #4, because I only…
Comic Book Resources shared an interview yesterday with Avi Arad, chief creative officer of Marvel Entertainment, regarding the upcoming sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man.

Maybe it’s good. (If you’d like to read about why…

The first issue of the post-Brubaker run on Captain America came out this week. As Doom DeLuise wrote, and I agreed with, Ed Brubaker made Captain America cool again. So who’s the creative team on the relaunch? Rick Remender (don’t know him), John Romita, Jr. (not a fan) and Klaus Janson (I dig him!). It…
[SFX: Intro music] JIM DOOM: Hello and welcome to the latest Podcast of Doom. I’m your host, Jim Doom, and with me as always, or at least most of the time — DOOM DeLUISE: Always. JIM DOOM: — is Doom DeLuise. [SFX: Intro music fade out] So 24 Hour Comics is coming up in one…
