This week, another big story climaxes, and, for fans of Renee Montoya and the Question, it’s one heck of a climax. The week opens with Montoya and Nightwing on the hunt for the twice named daughter of Cain, aka Kate Kane, aka Batwoman. The duo rolls through a wide variety of Intergang thugs and monsters,…
Hello everyone and welcome to this week’s Doomino Effect, where it doesn’t matter what you look like on the outside, but what you look like on the outside compared to what your neighbor looks like on the outside. We’re back on schedule and following the policy brought about by last week’s brilliant discovery that I…
If I’m going to spend thirty-six dollars on a twelve-part mini-series, I sure would like to feel like I’ve been told a decent story by the end of it all. The last thing I would want is for the final issue to end without any sense of real closure and a “To be continued” logo…
So for the third week in a row, there’s not really much to write about concerning this week’s comics. But I don’t want to go that long without handing out some Meaningless Awards, so I guess I got to come up with something. Let’s see… Double Modifier of the Week 2) New Fantastic (Fantastic Four…
When browsing the countless comic blogs out there, it is absolutely unavoidable that you will stumble upon literally dozens of blogs that make fun of comics from the mid-20th century. It’s pretty easy to do. Comics then had a completely different tone and operated from a vastly different slang-set, so there are bound to be…
Well the mystery has been solved! The two new members of the Fantastic Four are Black Panther and Storm! Who would have known? I don’t read FF, as I believe I stated in the Book of Doom preview, and I probably still won’t! This issue was okay, and it was kind of fun, but it…
Greetings, Legion of Dudes, and welcome to another installment of DOOM AND DOOMER. This time, Fin Fang Doom and I take on TMNT – the new computer-animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. JIM DOOM: I came into TMNT with the background of being someone who never read the comics, loved the cartoons, and thought the…
Look at me. I’m posting reviews on time. Now, before you get excited, you should know that I’m just getting this out of the way so that I can take this week’s batch and move them far from sight. Just a very forgettable week. All six titles I picked up failed to meet expectations (I…
It’s a good week for those of you who want some loose ends tied up. With only five issues left, this week is a perfect time to wrap everything up before the big finale. Granted, they still need a week or two more to finish the wrapping, but you get the idea. So, what do…
From all the internationally created comic book work I’ve been reading lately, I’ve noticed that most of the books are very universal. Their stories could quite easily be set in any country with a few tweaks. While it’s heartening to see shared ground between far-flung societies (and wouldn’t that make Thomas Friedman proud), there are…
