Hey, everybody, it’s my birthday! What better way to celebrate than finishing up my review of “52” in a timely manner and then getting completely slammified at the bars? I can’t think of a thing! So, that said, what happened this week, and, more importantly, how was it? Glad you asked. This issue focuses primarily…
The good folks at Boom Studios were nice enough to send along an advance copy of Talent #4. While I don’t have interior art to offer, I can say this book seems to finally be coming through on its great potential, though I’m not sure how much of a future the title has. Confused? I’ll…
Welcome to the latest recurring feature on Legion of Doom that I’ll inevitable give up on after a couple of weeks: the Meaningless Awards of the Week! Maybe I’ll actually stick this one since I can do however many or few I want depending on the quality of books that week. This week, I’m handing…
Three stinking books this week. That’s it. Of course, this means my wallet is a little heavier (although it’s not, since we’ve evolved to a cash-less society. How can the future be dystopian if commerce is such a breeze? Orwell, you’re full of shit!) so I shouldn’t complain. I can’t reveal my thoughts on Astro…
Aside from an incredibly decent cover and a neat splash page featuring Batwoman laying the smacketh down on some Intergang thugs, this week’s issue is surprisingly dull. For the sake of ritual, though, let’s address what actually happens this week, and I’ll tell you why it sucks so much. First off, we find Renee Montoya…
Welcome back to another weekend with the Doomers. This time we’re all kicking back around the fiery gates of hell and reading the first issue of Bullet Points, by J. Michael Stracynski. It’s essentially a “what if?” book, positing the scientist who turned wimpy Steve Rogers into Captain America died before administering his super serum….
By Lilli Carrè Published by Top Shelf, 2006. Retail price is $7. Plot: Umm… A crazy old guy lives out in the woods and talks to animals, dead and alive. Strengths: This book doesn’t fit very well into this format, mostly because it’s so freaking weird. According to Lilli (who makes a living as an…
We’re coming back with yet another of our weekly diversions into a particular book. And keeping with the objective, we’ll be tackling a new/off-the-beaten-path offering. In this case, it’s the first issue of Marvel’s new Bullet Points, which is illustrated by the brother of the cop from The Fugitive. Or not. It really is written…
Have you ever wondered about journey Kryptonite took from the time it crashlanded on earth to the time it was first used against Superman? Of course not, that would be stupid. It’s a rock. It doesn’t think, it doesnt talk…it’s just there. Who cares about the origin of a rock? Yet somehow in Superman Confidential…
Whoa, we’re half-way there! This week’s issue of “52” opens up with the Black Marvel family dropping the Question and Renee Montoya off in the middle of nowhere, near some icy, impressively large mountains, where the duo meets up with a couple of the Question’s friends. One of them is the man who trained the…
