Book of Doom: JSA Annual #1

Posted in ,

I stopped reading Justice Society of America a few months ago as this Kingdom Come storyline was starting but just seeming to spin its wheels. I had some room left in my quota this week, though, so I decided to grab this. I snuck a peak at the last issue of JSA, in which Gog…

IR$: Taxing Trails

Posted in ,

By Stephen Desberg (W) and Bernard Vrancken (A) Published by Cinebook, 2008; 96 pages; $19.95 When I saw a book called “IR$” about an IRS secret agent, I gave a mental groan. I actually put this book on the top of my review stack — I thought it would be super lame so I wanted…

Additional thoughts on Final Crisis #2

Posted in ,

We here at Doomkopf gave our thoughts on Final Crisis #2 on Saturday, but I recently witnessed an exchange on a message board that I thought raised some good points about the shortcomings of the issue and provided some satisfying answers. It’s nothing authoritative, but it’s a little more discussion and some additional perspectives on…

Secret Invasion of My Pull List

Posted in

I’ve been doing my best to avoid all things Secret Invasion. Considering I don’t read New Avengers, Mighty Avengers, Ms. Marvel or Captain Marvel, and generally dislike anything written by Brian Michale Bendis, it seemed like a good idea to steer clear of all things Skrull. Trouble is that as long as you read a…

Book of Doom: Wolverine #66

Posted in ,

I like Wolverine. He’s a cool character. I find it enjoyable to have a few drinks with friends and get into ridiculous arguments about who would win in a Wolverine vs Batman fight. He’s just a fun, versatile character that is a major badass. But, boy, do I hate his comic. I don’t regularly buy…

These comics sucked

Posted in

DC shipped the final issues of both Gotham Underground and Salvation Run last Wednesday. While I had actually been enjoying these series up until this point, both of these endings sucked. It certainly didn’t help that these issues shipped after Final Crisis #1, which they were supposedly leading up to. For that matter, it didn’t…

This week in Secret Invasion:
Secret Invasion: Who Do You Trust?

Posted in

This week’s dip into the Secret Invasion involved several short stories that fill in a few gaps and create several more. Part 1: Captain Marvel Chapter 1 explains the actions leading up to Captain Marvel’s decision to attack Thunderbolts mountain in Secret Invasion #1. The rationale is a bit convoluted, so it makes me wonder…
