Another 3-week Doomino Effect

Yeah, so the bad news is that my new job keeps me busy enough that I’m horrible at keeping up with a weekly Doomino effect schedule. But the good news is, I’m bringing in more money, so I’m buying more comics to review! So let’s start off with Green Lantern #25, the finale of the…



Holy crap! “Messiah Complex” is awesome!

For a while, I’ve been losing my interest in X-Men – I’ve been down to Astonishing, just so I could say I finished out. That, and it’s got my favorites in there. It’s a Storm and Nightcrawler away from my all-time favorite team. But yeah. I couldn’t handle Mike Carey’s run on X-Men. I was…



Countdown to Final Crisis: Twenty

I see London; I see France; I see a shitty comic book with Mary Marvel’s ass hanging out on the cover. Sigh. Total page numbers for each storyline in this week’s issue of Countdown: Brother Eye: Four. Karate Kid and Una: Three. The Challengers: One. Jimmy Olsen: Three. Monarch: Two. Pied Piper in “Weekend at…



Ultimates 3 #1

I don’t think we’ve discussed Ultimates 3 yet. Why not? Well, probably because it lives up to the Bizarro hype. It’s a cornucopia of flash, angst and poorly written dialogue from a writer who should know better (Jeph Loeb), and an artist (Joe Madureira) whose relevance will only last as long as he can keep…

The Final Word on Heroes

We’ve been over this before. Again and again. I hate the television show “Heroes.” It’s no secret. I also really enjoy arguing about it. This is the last time I’m ever going to mention the show here or anywhere else (unless I’m really drunk, in which case I might just start shouting at anybody nearby…



Countdown to Final Crisis: Twenty-One

“Omigod! This thing’s counting down!” – Pied Piper It’s not a good week this week. Never is, it seems. Things open with Piper realizing that Trickster’s really, truly dead (the bullet holes in his forehead and chest should’ve been an indication) and then realizing that his little wrist bracelet thing recognizes Trickster as being dead…



Countdown to Final Crisis: Twenty-Two

You know those creepy voyeur websites floating all over the Internet? You know how sometimes, you see some creepy pictures of a girl who was asleep, naked, and some guy just decided to take her picture and throw it up online? If not, I don’t even want to know you, but, if you’re anything like…



Countdown to Final Crisis: Twenty-Three (OWL)

I’d like to say that I didn’t write the blog for last week’s issue of Countdown to Final Crisis because there was a lot to digest, and I didn’t quite know of a good place to jump in for discussion, seeings as how it’s the first issue since…the first issue of this series that Paul…



Because No One Else Can: A Very Special Doomino Effect

I do not know how long it’s been since I’ve done a Doomino Effect. All I know is that it has been too long. So it’s time I returned (sort of like the last time I returned, when it had also been too long since I’d done a Doomino Effect … I’ll try to actually…
