Countdown to Final Crisis: Seventeen through Fifteen

Well, it was bound to happen again, so I’m not even going to apologize. The fact that I’ve kept up this much for this series so far speaks volumes, so sue me if I slip behind a few weeks every once in awhile. Just try to see things from my perspective: Not only am I…



The Doomino Effect for the week of January 9, 2008

Greetings, Doomwads, and welcome to this week’s Doomino Effect. We’re right in the middle, or at least middle-ish, of our annual Doomkopf Best and Worst of the Year awards, which I get super pumped for each year. I love going back and looking at past years and I realize I can’t say I like seeing…



Why Not Seriouser?

As the anticipation builds for the release of The Dark Knight, I thought I’d share the transcript of a conversation that Fin Fang Doom, Colonel Doom and I had with some friends following our initial screening of Batman Begins several years ago. In fact, it was that night that Fin Fang Doom and I first…



This week’s Book of Doom

As Doom DeLuise explained last week, the Doomkopf Book of Doom is now each member of the legion’s favorite book of the week. It’s a little late this week because comics were late this week and because I’m just always late at everything. For my favorite this week, I’m going to take Captain America #33….



The Drop List- 12/28/07

Thor Picked up with Thor #1 (1998) Dropped with Thor #6 (2008) I always thought I liked the character of Thor. He was Marvel’s Superman (before the Sentry came along, anyway), and he could wipe the floor with damn near anybody in the multiverse. Even Superman himself, if my high school fan fiction is any…



Countdown to Final Crisis: Nineteen and Eighteen

Well, it’s the holiday season, so cut me some slack with the joint and partially late reviews, here. I’ve been pretty busy with all that. That aside, though, let me just say, “HEAVENS TO BETSY, WE’RE IN THE TEENS AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET.” To piss in everybody’s egg nog, I’m back once again for…



The Drop List- 12/19/07

I buy too many comics. Way too many comics. And a lot of them really aren’t very good. But as it was pointed out to me this weekend, I have a very strong inner completist, and I find it incredibly hard to stop buying a monthly series. I’ve struggled through Peter Milligan on X-Men and…



Books of Doom – December 19, 2007

Hello, everybody. This week is the first week where we’ve decided to change the format of the weekly Book of Doom. It used to be that, each week, one of us members of the Legion would choose a book, we’d all read it, and, each Saturday, the original chooser would post a collection of each…



Meaningless Awards of the Week- 12/12/07

Biggest Status Quo Change- The Walking Dead #45 This week in TWD: Dale, Andrea, Glenn, Maggie, Sofia and the twins all packed into the RV and left the prison, while in an attempt to take the fight to the Governor’s men, Tyrese is taken prisoner and Michonne gets her f$&#ing brains blown out. Yeah, not…



The Year’s Best … Two Years Later

Since we’re nearing our year-end awards here at Doomkopf, I thought I’d share another collection of year-end recognition. Year’s Best Graphic Novels, Comics & Manga is what it sounds like – a collection of excerpts from the year’s best graphic novels, comics and manga. It’s from 2005, and I found a copy at a Borders…
