DOOM DeLUISE: So last week, Jim Doom and I watched the newest movie from DC Animation, “Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths.” Big picture, overall, what were your thoughts? Better or worse than previous efforts from DC’s animation department? JIM DOOM: Big picture, I’d say that I keep hoping for DC to learn from the…
I’m slowly but surely finding my way through the endless stacks of manga. Takehiko Inoue’s art has been by far the best I have come across in the manga that I have read or seen. His work is the only manga that strikes me the same way that American style comics with great artists due….
The fourth and final issue of the Beasts of Burden mini series came out this week. I thought it a good time to look at the title as a whole as Dark Horse plans to collect the mini series and the original shorts that first appeared their horror anthology series into one hardback sometime in 2010.

R.E.B.E.L.S. #10 came out more then a week ago. I only just now got around to reading it and it was pleasantly surprise. This is one of the Blackest Night ring incentive books that DC has been putting out, where you get a ring from one of the Lantern Corps along with the comic. This book…
By Grant Morrison and Dave McKean 15th Anniversary Edition published in 2004 by DC Comics This won’t be a traditional Library of Doom review because I imagine at this point in human history, 20 years after its initial publication, there are probably few people interested in a traditional review of Arkham Asylum. Prior to last…
In my secret, not very interesting real life, I’m a web “professional,” which is to say I spend eight hours a day fixing HTML code. My sweet, sweet refuge is XKCD, updated every Monday – Wednesday – Friday….
