BleedingCool posted an image from the upcoming “The Wolverine” movie, which, if I remember right, is based on the Chris Claremont / Frank Miller miniseries that was set in Japan. It probably involved samurai and ninjas, but honestly I don’t remember all that much about it even though 1) I remember reading my cousin’s copy…
It’s been a while since we’ve done one of these Books of Doom, but it seemed appropriate, given that the first chapters of the previous massive Green Lantern crossovers — Sinestro Corps #1 back in June of 2007 and Blackest Night #0 from May of 2009 — were both also Book of Doom-style reviews. So…
This is part three of the transcript of the New 52: One Year Later edition of the Podcast of Doom, in which Jim Doom and Doom DeLuise reflect back on the past year since DC’s cancellation of all titles and subsequent relaunch of 52 new books. To read part one of the transcript, click here…
[SFX: Intro music] DOOM DeLUISE: Ok, I’m back. Are you back? Are we back? JIM DOOM: We’re back! DOOM DeLUISE: Yes! JIM DOOM: Okay everybody, welcome back to another edition of the Podcast of Doom, Doomkopf.com’s podcast. DOOM DeLUISE: Of doom. JIM DOOM: Yes, of doom. So next month is DC’s big “#0” month, which…
Deadline has reported, and would-be director Joe Carnahan has confirmed (after initially being a little more vague) that the ’70s-style take on Daredevil at Fox isn’t going to happen.

In all the excitement about Marvel canceling Fantastic Four for the second time in two years and relaunching it with a new #1, Matt Fraction revealed late in the story (can’t blame him — he’s not the reporter — but seriously, you’re like halfway through before the news hits) that Defenders will end its run…
I’ve long felt that the 2003 Daredevil was a pretty unfairly maligned movie. Even though I’ve attempted to qualify my appreciation by claiming the director’s cut is far superior (it is!) the film still generated $100 million more than it cost and did a good job of setting up a “Born Again” storyline. But a…
See if you can spot what these two songs have in common.
from Eee! Tess Ate Chai Tea! (best blog name ever, btw): But comics started to feel too expensive for too little payoff. I was beginning to lose track each month of what the storyline from the previous month was. Perhaps I was reading too many! Whatever actually happened, I always felt that I would stop…
I’m generally trying to renew my enthusiasm about the whole “reading comic books” thing, but these recent news items made me groan and groan and groan some more! One of these names just doesn’t belong here. Rich Johnston reported that Cup O’ Joe at NYCC included news on “a major project from Marvel would feature…
