Hell Yeah! of the Week- She-Hulk explains to Tony Stark why he’s an asshole, She-Hulk #18 Iron Man is the biggest dick in the Marvel Universe. But for some reason, Marvel editorial still treats him as if he’s a hero. Finally someone has taken the time to rip Tony Stark a new one in a…
I was trying to think of a good joke to explain why I’m writing about a samurai on Memorial Day, but nothing came to mind. Maybe that’s because I’m pretty well drained after a 9+ hour drive to Nebraska for the first ever face-to-face meeting amongst we Doomers (word is, there’s a photo floating around…
Welcome to this week’s edition of our weekly roundtable discussion of the newest issue of Wonder Woman, a tie-in to the current big event Amazons Attack! This week, the Legion is joined by special guest reviewer The Fortress Keeper from The Fortress of Fortitude. Overall, the issue seems to have caught all of us off…
Howdy there, our little Doom Patrollers. I know you’ll all be crestfallen, but I’m going to be out of town the rest of the week and have no time for the weekly Worst to First roundup. To make up for it, I have a review of the new graphic novel The Other Side, a Vietnam…
I think my criticism against Countdown was a tad premature. I really enjoyed this issue. Whaddya say we run through the plot points real quick. Things open where they ended last time, with Killer Croc breaking free and attacking Jimmy Olsen, who pulls a Plastic Man and warps all out of place; The Monitors talk…
When the folks at DC sent over two of the new books from the company’s new Minx line — which is targeted at a young, hip female audience — I wondered what would happen if the books weren’t any good. If I were inclined to give the books bad reviews, would it come across as…
Hello, freckled blockheads, and welcome to this week’s installment of The Doomino Effect. Getting us started is Batman #665. I had stopped reading Batman somewhere a few issues back. I thought the Damian / Ninja bat storyline was stupid, then there was that Grotesk arc, and then I remember an issue with lots of typography….
Book of the Week- Uncanny X-Men #486 “The Rise and Fall of the Shi’ar Empire” certainly had its faults. Alternating between Billy Tan and Clayton Henry on art duties was jarring to say the least since the two have such drastically different styles. Focusing solely on Vulcan for a few issues sort of interrupted the…
It’s our tribute to the notoriously delayed, yet finally released comic books of last week, as yesterday we took on Ultimates 2 #13 and today it’s time for All-Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder. I stopped reading ASSBAR after issue 2 or 3 when I just felt offended to be paying money for stupid…
There’s just too much this week. We took on two books at once, and there was just too much reviewing and writing to do, so we only got one done. I read on the internet that Doom DeLuise was almost done with his review, but then I read somewhere else that he isn’t…but the next…
