Ever since Batman RIP started, Grant Morrison has said that the true identity of the Black Glove, the man behind the big scheme to destroy Bruce Wayne’s mind and eventually kill the Batman in his danse macabre, would not be revealed until the final issue of the current Batman RIP story-arc; however, in this week’s…
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…
Best Artist- Stefano Gaudiano, Daredevil #111 Take a look at these two pages of art: One is from Daredevil #110, with pencils by Michael Lark. The other is from #111, with pencils by Clay Mann. Can you tell the difference? Probably not, and I think that has a whole lot to do with the talent…
Hello, friends. We’re adding a new member to the ol’ Legion, and, since we haven’t outfitted him with an account yet (or he’s just too stupid to figure it out), I’m going to introduce him to you. He goes by the handle of Doomanchu, and he’s a dear friend of mine. By that, I mean…
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. I moaned last month about Secret Invasion crossing over into GotG, even though the series is so new. Well, the genius known only as “Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning” is managing to…
Best Issue- The Walking Dead #52 If you couldn’t tell by the cover, this issue features the return of Michonne, samurai sword in hand. But happily, that’s not the only return this issue. Rick and Carl have been on their own for several issues now, and while the stories have been very good (especially last…
I only bought two comics this week. Final Crisis: Revelations #2 picks up with The Spectre chasing down Renee “Question” Montoya, intending to inflict vengeance upon her for murder, which The Spectre concludes she has committed as the leader of the Order of the Stone. 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…
Thanks to Labor Day delaying new comics, I can be a day late with this and still end up on New Comics Eve. Starting off this week’s Doomino Effect is DC Universe: Last Will and Testament #1, a story that was good and bad. The premise is that it’s the last night before the end…
