I really expected Gail Simone to hit one out of the ballpark with her first issue of Wonder Woman. Well, she didn’t, but that doesn’t mean she didn’t deliver an entertaining issue. Wonder Woman versus an albino gorilla army was a nice way to start of the issue. It was a good action scene, and…
Wow, that was a close call. For the past couple of weeks, Countdown has shown promise. Here I was, thinking we had ourselves a genuine turn-around. Boy, was I ever wrong! This week, we’re back to the usual flawed piece of garbage we’ve grown to love to hate, and we’re (kind of) introduced to an…

Well, color me slightly impressed. For the second week in a row, it seems as if this series finally has a sense of direction and knows what it’s doing with itself. Is that direction headed in a way that will eventually pay off into an interesting series? I don’t know. I suppose I’ll give you…
First off, I misspoke, or miswrote, or just plain screwed up in my preview for this week’s Book of Doom. That gray-templed Superman is the Superman of the Kingdom Come universe, not Kal-L of Earth 2. But he is a sign of reviving a past storyline, and Justice Society of America #10 is the beginning…
Hey there, sports fans. Welcome to the first ever semi-regular (if I remember and am sober-ish) edition of “Gimmickless Comic Reviews.” You see, Jim Doom has his Doomino Effect, and Fin Fang used to do his Meaningless Awards or Random Thoughts, plus we all contribute to the weekly Book of Doom, so I figured I’d…
WARNING: What you are about to read is a semi-positive review of an issue of Countdown. This week, we finally get some explanation of this series. The explanation is nice, but, at the same time, the explanation is kind of a cop-out. We’ll get to that. The bulk of the issue features the Monitor that…
DOOM NOTE: By the time this week’s Doomino Effect rolls around, Halloween will be long gone. There’s enough to talk about with this book – and still a few hours left in the day – so here’s what will likely be a one-time only single issue review. I’m a big fan of short stories –…
I have to confess, I haven’t done the Doomino Effect in a while. Actually, I probably don’t even need to confess. The fact that there weren’t any Doomino Effects on this site the past few weeks pretty much points a finger at me. I’m not a big fan of “Sorry I haven’t posted more!” posts,…
