The expression on Superman’s face at the beginning of the trailer for Dawn of Justice really sums up the tone: “I don’t have time to explain to these stupid people how lucky they are that I’m clumsily destroying their city. “But if you’re going to make me explain myself…” (sigh) “…I’ll humor you.” (It doesn’t…
SPOILER ALERT: THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON. DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU HAVE YET TO SEE THE MOVIE. JIM DOOM: So I remember being in the parking lot outside the theater in Bellevue after seeing the Hulk, or Incredible Hulk — whichever one was part of Phase 1 —…
I forgot to do this column for the past 80-some weeks so let’s get back in the swing of things, shall we? Speaking of swinging, that reminds me of The Amazing Spider-Man #13, part 5 of Spider-Verse. I cannot tell you the last time I thought a crossover was this much fun. I think on…
[SFX: Intro music] JIM DOOM: Hello and welcome to the latest Podcast of Doom. I’m your host, Jim Doom, and with me as always is Doom DeLuise. DOOM DeLUISE: Hey. JIM DOOM: Ever since Fin Fang Doom declared us to be a wrestling site also, we’ve made a little more effort to talk about wrestling…
WARNING: SPOILERS FOR THOR 2 ABOUND. DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE YET TO SEE THE MOVIE. DOOM DELUISE: So Thor 2. You attentive readers out there may remember, when Jim and I sat down to review the first Thor a few years ago, we were in agreement that we both enjoyed the movie. As…

Somehow, though, at the same time, everybody agreed that Hugh Jackman is still a pretty great Wolverine. Flash-forward a few years,…
My comics from the past two weeks are all mixed up so this is two weeks’ worth of comics all mixed up. Not that it’s probably worth noting that they’re “all mixed up,” since it’s not as if I review these things in any kind of order. Speaking of order, that leads me to Justice…
Welcome to the latest installment of Doom and Doomer, where Jim Doom and I take a back-and-forth look at comic book movies. Today we discuss Man of Steel, which most of you probably saw awhile ago. To explain: We live on opposite sides of the globe, so it’s difficult to find times where we’re both…
I normally would do a Doomino Effect this time of week (if by “normally” you’ll accept “once every couple of years after previously doing it every week”), but this past week I only bought four comics — two issues of the new Ted McKeever book (my shop only had #2 and #4, because I only…
So a funny thing happened. I was doing this weekly review called The Doomino Effect, and then I just stopped doing it for about two years. And then there was like a two year gap before that. But before that, I went strong for like three years! But speaking of things that go on for…
