It’s Saturday once again, which means it’s time for the Legion’s weekly Book of Doom review. Our featured book this week is Invincible #42, written by Robert Kirkman with art by Ryan Ottley and Bill Crabtree. The issue is being billed as “New Reader Friendly,” and the five of us are in a position to…
TMNT the video game was released in March to coincide with the release of TMNT the movie. The movie really reminded me of everything I loved about the Turtles from my youth, including the tremendous arcade-style video games that came out back when Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis were considered the pinnacle of home video…
Hey, remember last year at this time, when the calendar aligned to 6/6/06, and the sky turned red, and demons clawed their way up through the earth’s mantle and humanity survived by only the narrowest of margins? Yeah, hard to believe it was a year ago already… After reading this latest batch of comics, I…
I am totally phoning this one in. One of my best friends is in town, and we’ve been hanging out all day, so, at this point, well, I’m more than drunk, and I must say, I am completely bored by this issue of Countdown. I feel I shouldn’t even dignify it with a response. That’s…
By David Lapham Vertigo, 2007. $24.99 Many thanks to the folks at Vertigo for the early look at David Lapham’s original graphic novel Silverfish, which comes out this month.

This is of course irrelevant, because this is the Doomino Effect, and so please continue reading. Speaking of reading, that leads me to Daredevil #97, which I read! We’re…
Frustration of the Week- the new DC continuity It’s really annoying when you don’t know what the hell is going on. I have no idea what’s happening in a lot of DC Comics nowadays. Everything I thought I knew about the history of the DC Universe has been called into suspect lately due to events…
In a strange coincidence, a couple weekends ago I was in Florida and my father-in-law broke out his quite amazing collection of ’60s and ’70s comics. The highlight, though, was the first issue of Silver Surfer, which established the creation of Mr. Shiny Britches and started his series of independent adventures. And now that’s all…
Well, folks, I’m pretty drunk, so you know what time it is. It’s time to review the newest issue of Countdown and talk about what happened in it and stuff. Let’s run through the quick-and-dirty real quick. Mary Marvel meets with Black Adam, newly re-powered, in the remains of the Kahndaq Embassy in Gotham City….
As I mentioned before, a great recent week was highlighted by the release of the second collected volume of Frank Espinosa’s Rocketo, the future-set adventures of famed mapper Rocketo Garrison. If you read the interview I did with Frank when volume one released, you know that the second volume was set to be published in…
