I forgot to include that I read Fall of Cthulhu #6 and Left on Mission #4 last week in my reviews. My bad. Since the folks at Boom! were nice enough to send review copies, they deserve a mention. Though Left on Mission took a huge step up from the past two issues, there’s nothing…
Holy hell, I totally forgot about this week’s Book of Doom until just now. Talk about a day late and a dollar short. Speaking of short, I thought this week’s choice came up way short. In short, I thought it was terrible. I don’t mean to come off sounding short, but, seriously, it’s a short-sighted…
I’m at a loss as to how this series can tread more water, mark more time, and accomplish so little. This is supposed to be a story about superheroes battling supervillains and unseen forces, yet the only long-term threat they’ve established is that Monarch is gathering some sort of army to fight the Monitors, who,…
You thought last week was bad? Out of a measly five books this week, two are getting dropped, one is getting re-dropped and one was an annual that I almost didn’t buy (and probably should’ve skipped). There comes a certain point when I think of what else I could do with $17, and it gets…
Well Tuesday is almost over, so there’s just a little bit of time to get a Doomino Effect in on schedule, so here we go. Speaking of almost over, let’s start with World War Hulk #4. This was the first issue in this otherwise enjoyable series where I felt like it drug a little. It…
Heroes returned last night after a long summer break, and since the show is basically a televised comic book, let’s dissect the sucker like Sylar does brains. Now, I came in to this episode feeling like the show needed to wow me. Last season was mostly strong throughout, but the wheels came off in that…
Coming up are some thoughts on the first episode of Heroes, and I thought that while I was at it, I may as well give a quick summary of NBC’s new show Chuck, which plays to the nerds at least as much as Heroes. The previews actually had me pretty excited over this one, and…
The Green Arrow and Black Canary Wedding Special was a fun read, even though it simultaneously acknowledged and contradicted what happened in the JLA Wedding Special from last week. See, in the first Wedding Special, the JLA gets the snot whipped out of them by the Injustice League during Canary and Arrow’s respective bachelorette and…
The Sinestro Corps War had a ton of momentum heading out of the over-sized one-shot that started the whole thing. It had the return of Superboy-Prime and the Anti-Monitor, the attack on Oa and the possession of Kyle Rayner by Parallax. Since then it’s kind of gone downhill. For a few months now the crossover…
There are times when I just really wonder why I still buy single issues. Take this week. Five books. $18. Enjoyment? Not so much. I guess you have to have a dud every now and then. So, who’s excited for some reviews? No one? Back of the class? Guess not. Worst: Madman #4 Sheesh. I…
