Countdown: Thirty-Eight: The Podcast

[SFX: Podcast of Doom theme music] DOOM DELUISE: Hello, and welcome to the Legion of Doom’s latest installment of the Podcast of Doom. Welcome to the show. I am your co-host, Doom DeLuise, and this week, we’ve decided to do a very special podcast focused strictly on “Countdown.” Please give a very hearty welcome to…



The Doomino Effect for the week of August 1, 2007

Hello my little white dots on black fields, and welcome to this week’s Doomino Effect. This week was the first week at my new comic book shop. Last year, I had to find a new comic book shop, and the winner of that search was a great store that I really liked shopping at. Unfortunately,…



Meaningless Awards of the Week- 8/1/07

I just spent the last three days tiling my parent’s basement, so I’m not really feeling up to a long Meaningless Awards this week. Thankfully, not a whole lot of spectacular comics came out this week. There were a few things that deserve recognition, though. Book of the Week- She-Hulk #20 Dan Slott’s She-Hulk has…



Book of Doom: Thor #2

Earlier this week I remembered this idea for a new Thor series Marvel had right around the time House of M was going on. I’m almost certain it was Mark Millar’s idea, possibly with help by current writer J. Michael Stracynski and some other member of the Illuminati. It involved a group of teenagers being…



Countdown: Thirty-Nine

Earlier today, I was sitting around thinking of something that I could compare Countdown to, so that even the lay-person who reads these reviews would understand how crappy it is, and I came up with a really creative, totally original idea, all on my own! Have you ever seen the show Big Brother After Dark?…



The Doomino Effect for the week of July 25, 2007

I keep intending to cut back on how much I’m buying, but I ended up with nine comics this week. You know what that means – nine times for me to show off my fancy domino-based rating system! First up is Green Arrow: Year One #2. Green Arrow for me was one of the few…



Meaningless Awards of the Week- 7/25/07

Publisher of the Week- Other As far as I’m concerned, there are only three comic book publishers: Marvel, DC, and everyone else. Most of the comics I buy are published by Marvel and DC, which makes sense since most of the comics period are published by Marvel and DC. This was an extremely odd week,…



(Satan’s) Book of (Double Evil) Doom

Hello fiends, and welcome to this week’s devilish double-shot with our roundtable reviews of Grendel: Behold the Devil #0 and Batman #666. Starting off with Grendel, when I picked this, I didn’t realize right off that it was just a preview issue. I was more entranced by the fact that it fit with the theme…



Countdown: Forty

Another week, another bland effort from DC as far as Countdown goes. This one is bad, bad, bad, and I mean bad. Were you really expecting much else? Here’s how it goes: The issue opens with the story of Ryan Choi (the All-New Atom), along with Donna Troy, Jason Todd, and Bob the Monitor, right…



The Doomino Effect for the week of July 18, 2007

It’s Tuesday, it’s Doomino Time – I finally finished off my stack of last week’s comics so I shall let her rip. First up is the book I almost didn’t read – The Spirit #8. I sat down with my stack and realized I didn’t even crack open the issue, so I made a point…
