DOOM DELUISE: You didn’t think we could pass up doing a “Doom and Doomer” on a movie with Doom in the title, did you? Jim and I even sat through 75 minutes of this so we could bring you Doomkopf’s “Doomsday” Doom and Doomer. Ok, to start off with, let me ask you, what were…
The first collection of the new Justice Society of America came out this week, and a review copy sent over from DC gave me the push I’ve been needing to finally check out this book. To be honest, it’s really the push I needed to check out the team. For whatever reason, I’ve just never…
Countdown sucks, right? Ok, that’s out of the way. There’s a moment in this issue that really annoyed the hell out of me, so I’d like to take a minute to talk about it before we actually get into the down-and-dirty of what “happens” through the rest of this little rag. Here’s what it is:…
I sit here on the couch as my wife watches “Bring it On…Yet Again,” so what better time to get out this week’s comics and line them up, doomino style. Speaking of bringing it on yet again, we’ll start off with Justice League of America Wedding Special #1, in which the villains of the DC…
It’s been 10 years since DC launched the alterna-verse Tangent Comics, and using the same logic that brought the execrable Onslaught Reborn, that means it’s time for a good dusting off, right? And that’s how I came to read Tangent Comics: Vol. 1, which came out recently, collecting the first issues of The Atom, The…
The JLA Wedding Special has got to be the worst marketing idea in recent memory. First of all, nothing draws fanboys to a comic like having the word “Wedding” in the title, am I right? [No, I am not.] Second, DC Specials tend to be throwaway stories that are utterly avoidable, but this one wasn’t…
Every comic but one on the list this week falls in the same category: mostly good but held down by serious shortcomings. Not bad, in other words, but it could’ve been a lot better. Ain’t that just the way… Worst: Green Lantern #23 It’s not that I didn’t like this book, it’s just that I…
If you’re still buying Countdown, I’d be willing to bet you’re either a) a masochist, b) a fan of watching slow motion car crash videos, c) illiterate, or d) highly delusional of the comic’s worth. It has none. However, if you still are buying Countdown, my guess is that you’re not enjoying it enough to…
Welcome back, everybody. Just twelve hours later, sporting one wicked hangover, I’m back and ready to talk about this week’s issue of Countdown, which, for those of you keeping track, is the Countdown equivalent to “52’s” Week Nineteen, the week that Skeets made his full-fledged heel-turn and everything started going crazy. Has Countdown reached the…
Hello, boys and girls. Are you ready for this week’s issue of the dreadfully awful series “Countdown?” Let’s hope so, because this is the fucking review of it. Let’s begin at the beginning. To start, Piper and Trickster are strung upside down by the side of a building, for Batman to find, by Poison Ivy…
