Meaningless Awards of the Week- 4/25/07

Artist of the Week- Alex Ross, Justice #11, covers to Justice Society of America #5 and Astro City: The Dark Age Book Two #3 Y’know, three great covers in any given week would probably be enough to give this award to Alex Ross, but he had to go one better and paint an entire issue…



Book of Doom: Fallen Son #2: New Avengers

It’s the Legion of Doom’s weekly roundtable review – The Book of Doom – and this week, for the first in what will hopefully be a regular feature of the Book of Doom, we’ve got a special guest – Matt from Another Damn Comic Blog. This week’s selection is the second in the “Fallen Son:…



Worst to First: 4/25/07

How best to describe this week in comics? Well, paltry fits pretty well. I read a handful of books and a few lucky fellas were buy worthy. Also, for some reason my shop didn’t have Crossing Midnight or Shazam, which certainly would’ve helped things out. So, here’s my very brief and more-than-mildly-disappointed recap of the…



Week Fifty-One

The secret of 52 is that the multiverse still exists. How much cooler would this week’s issue be if Dan Didio hadn’t let that little bit of information spill out all those months ago? 52 worlds. 52 Morrows. Apparently, a year ago, when Alexander Luthor’s hands were tearing open space and time, way out near…



The Doomino Effect for the week of Apr 18, 2007

Hello, my sexy dalmatian feminine Cable sidekicks, and welcome to this week’s Doomino Effect. This week’s line-up will be free of any thoughts on World War III, because that’s what our Saturday roundtable was for. So let’s get started on the rest of the week that was…last week. First up is Mighty Avengers #2. I…



Preview: God Save the Queen

By Mike Carey (W) and John Bolton (A) Vertigo, 2007, $19.99 Of the major comics writers out there right now, Mike Carey is one of the most prolific and diverse. He writes horror titles, big superhero fare and smaller stuff, like Vertigo’s Crossing Midnight. This week sees the release of his original graphic novel that…



Meaningless Awards of the Week- 4/18/07

Artist of the Week- Kristian Donaldson, Fallen Angel #15 Wait a second! Someone else is getting the Meaningless Award for Artist of the Week the same week Darwyn Cooke’s The Spirit came out? How is that even possible? Well, you just have to combine the always fantastic Fallen Angel with an awesome new artist. I’m…



World War III: A week that will live on in Infamousy

Well, my Kurt LODers, the week we had all been looking forward to has come and gone – the week of DC’s World War III. It was the story too big to be told in the pages of 52 – the story that would tie up all the loose ends still lingering after twenty-five twenty…



Worst to First: 4/18/07

Obviously, World War III is going to dominate the comics front this week. But since we’ve already covered that quite thoroughly, I’m going to limit this little misadventure in reviewing to the non-WW3 books of the week. Yeah, some other stuff came out. Who knew? Worst: JLA #8 Maybe I drank too much Identity Crisis…
