Check it out. Doomkopf will have some representation. The discussion will apparently be recorded and released as a podcast. I’ll try to get a transcript up once that happens. UPDATE: I made some comment about wanting to remove Tony Daniel’s scrotum and keep it for myself so I could punch it whenever I want, so…
So funny thing happened — I was doing this weekly comic review called “The Doomino Effect” and then I stopped doing it for like two years. Speaking of looking back at the past, that leads me to Action Comics #1 by Grant Morrison and Rags Morales. Like Justice League #1, this story seems to be…
JIM DOOM: Well, Doom DeLuise, welcome back. It’s been a while since our last podcast. [silence] I actually didn’t even test out these microphones to see if they still work. Is mine working? I said is mine working? Is mine working? Doom DeLuise? Is my microphone working? Hey. Hey? Is my microphone working? It’s been…
I hated Transformers 2 so much I blogged about it twice. But I was still determined to see Transformers 3. After seeing it last night, I have to say that it’s probably my favorite of the series. But it was still awful. I’ll start with the good, because there was quite a bit that I…
JIM DOOM: So Thor. I’m not sure what to say to open this other than that I didn’t read much of anything Thor related ever except for when he’d show up in big crossovers and get killed or something. So I feel that my thoughts are solely based in reflections on Thor: the movie and…
I’ve been kind of back and forth on DC’s announced reboot of its entire universe in August. I can see the pros and cons, and I still haven’t been sure whether I think it’ll be the final straw that gets me to bail on comics (or at least DC comics) once and for all. But…
Captain America has become like catnip for the Tea Party, giving them fits whenever another opportunity to assert their ideological ownership arises. Last year Fox News aided the Tea Party assault on Ed Brubaker (and his much less popular letterer); now, the “Hollywood!” dog-whistle has been blown. The Daily Caller ran an article a few…
Hopefully within the next few days, we’ll be sharing the comics created by Fin Fang Doom, Doom DeLuise, Doominator and me. We all four participated this year at Krypton Comics, and we all four conquered the day.
I picked up Batman #701 today. It’s part 1 of the Lost R.I.P. story, which maybe is going to explain the holes in R.I.P. (what was the ultimate betrayal after all?) or maybe it’ll just be another story. But what it very clearly is is yet another continuation of the Batman R.I.P. story. I remember…
I’ve been pretty apathetic about comics lately, even by this blog’s evolvingly negative standards. I’ve maintained a pretty firm boycott of all things $3.99, which means I’m missing out on almost everything new. I considered Super Soldier #1 and Shadowland #1, but a glance at both sold me on neither. A rush of nostalgia convinced…
