Hell-o, everyone! Since Jean-Claude Van Doom didn’t buy enough comics this week to flesh out his regular Worst to First column, and since I neglected to bring you the Doomino Effect for last week (I still haven’t been able to bring myself to read everything I bought last Wednesday), let’s fill that void and bump…
I bought one book this week, that being 52. I haven’t read it yet. I don’t know if I’ll get around to it. I flipped through some other stuff, but man, what a terrible week this was in comics. The good news, though, is that it means more time I can spend reading over a…
As mentioned recently, we at the LOD are going to be focusing more in the coming weeks on some foreign comics work, and I wanted to kick things off in style, with one of the most impressive books I’ve read so far this year. And that is Garage Band, the strange rumination on adolescence and…
Welcome part 2 of our discussion on 300, the movie adaptation of the Frank Miller / Lynn Varley graphic novel about the Battle of Thermopylae. Be sure to read part 1 before continuing.

Welcome to this week’s Book of Doom round-table discussion. The book we chose this week is Captain America #25. When I made that decision, I had no idea what I was getting us into. For, y’see, this may be the most controversial, most talked about issue of a comic book that’s come out in the…
I don’t want to disappoint any readers, so I’ll say up front that yes, I did buy Captain America #25 (the title’s on my pull list) and yes, I did read it and yes, I do have plenty of thoughts. But I’m saving that for Saturday’s Book of Doom. All you’re getting from me today…
The solicitations for “52” during the month of March claim that, “Death and destruction reign supreme this month in the DCU.” Yeah, I guess you could say that. As usual, beware of spoilers. This week opens with Osiris’ powers returning to Black Adam and the discovery of what’s left of Amon’s corpse, picked fairly clean…
