Doom and Doomer: Captain America: The First Avenger

JIM DOOM: Hey, let’s finish reviewing Captain America. DOOM DELUISE: I need to find [our first attempt at our review] so I can get caught up. I forget what I was having a hard time explaining. JIM DOOM: Or we could just move on to talking about specific things and you can build a segue…



I saw Transformers 3 last night

I hated Transformers 2 so much I blogged about it twice. But I was still determined to see Transformers 3. After seeing it last night, I have to say that it’s probably my favorite of the series. But it was still awful. I’ll start with the good, because there was quite a bit that I…

Rank of every comic movie ever made, as listed on Metacritic:



Doom and Doomer: X-Men: First Class

DOOM DELUISE: This past weekend, X-Men: First Class came out, and the two of us went and saw it together on Sunday. Immediately after leaving the theatre, what were some of your initial impressions, as far as what worked, what things you enjoyed, and what you felt came up short? DOOM, WHERE’S MY CAR?: Well,…



Doom and Doomer: Thor

JIM DOOM: So Thor. I’m not sure what to say to open this other than that I didn’t read much of anything Thor related ever except for when he’d show up in big crossovers and get killed or something. So I feel that my thoughts are solely based in reflections on Thor: the movie and…

Spoiler-Free Iron Man 2 Review

I just got home from the midnight showing of the brand-new sure-to-be-blockbuster Iron Man 2. I’m going to attempt to give you my reaction without necessarily giving anything away (because, really, where’s the fun in that?), but you could probably argue that any sort of reaction to the movie could be considered a potential spoiler….



Doom and Doomer: Kick-Ass

Welcome to the latest installment of “Doom and Doomer,” in which members of the Legion take a look at comics on the big screen. Tonight, your participants are Jim Doom and Doom DeLuise, looking at the new Kick-Ass movie, starring Aaron Johnson, Chloe Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Nicolas Cage, based on the comic created by…



X-Men Forever: File Under “Books I Thought I’d Hate But Love”

Over the last decade, Chris Claremont’s track record at Marvel has been poor. Heck, since leaving X-Men in 1991, his comic writing in general has been poor. Two words: Sovereign Seven. So when I heard about X-Men Forever, where-in Claremont is going back and rebooting the X-Men as if nothing had changed since he left…



My own webcomics recommendations

MG Doom recently made a very valid point that it’s hard to wade through the thousands of web comics to find a few gems. But I’ve also covered my love of xkcd here previously. So, dear readers, you may be wondering “What should I read?” Well, here’s the unqualified opinion of somebody who owns all…
