Rob Liefeld shoots on Alan Moore

Posted in

h/t Derek Burgan Probably my favorite Rob Liefeld work in the past decade had been his embarrassing sputtering in the comments of Newsarama articles, but this takes the cake. Rob recently did an interview with OC Weekly for the story Youngblood at Heart, and knowing the hits they were sure to get, they decided to…

Justified and ancient

I tell you, it’s a good thing that Ganthet and Sayd were kicked out of Oa. The other guardians were right – these two have let their emotions go to their heads. They’ve been letting their love of earth people cloud their judgment, interfering with their impartiality. from Green Lantern #24…

Spidey: A dialogue

Posted in

DOOM DELUISE: I hate the nickname “Spidey.” JIM DOOM: Same here. If Spider-Man was my friend, I wouldn’t call him that. DOOM DELUISE: I’d call him Spider-Man. JIM DOOM: I might start to come up with nicknames after a while, but I definitely wouldn’t call him Spidey. It just sounds condescending and emasculating. DOOM DELUISE:…

Book of Doom: Vinyl Underground #1

Posted in ,

So I chose this as this week’s Book of Doom because I wanted to try something new and the write-up seemed intriguing. Solving mysteries, in London, weird stuff, sounds good. But I didn’t really like it. The characters’ edginess seemed so forced. Troubled celebrity, drug-addict, porn-tease. Maybe that’s a statement on society itself, that those…

The Doomino Effect for the week of September 26, 2007

Posted in

Get this – I’m late doing the Doomino Effect because I went to a Mandy Moore concert and had an awesome time. No kidding! And then we hung out at a bar with her and her band. For real! It was actually really good! Who knows what kind of crazy things I’m going to say…

Book of Doom: Vinyl Underground #1

Posted in

I tell you what – I didn’t know a blasted thing about Vinyl Underground when I picked it for this week’s Book of Doom. I like to try new things when I’m making my choice, and considering that the other two books with obvious jumping-on points were Metamorpho: Year One and Howard the Duck, Vinyl…

Well Tuesday is almost over, so there’s just a little bit of time to get a Doomino Effect in on schedule, so here we go. Speaking of almost over, let’s start with World War Hulk #4. This was the first issue in this otherwise enjoyable series where I felt like it drug a little. It…

Doom and Doomer: Superman Doomsday

Posted in

DOOM DELUISE: You didn’t think we could pass up doing a “Doom and Doomer” on a movie with Doom in the title, did you? Jim and I even sat through 75 minutes of this so we could bring you Doomkopf’s “Doomsday” Doom and Doomer. Ok, to start off with, let me ask you, what were…

Book of Doom: Tales of the Sinestro Corps Presents Parallax

Posted in

The initial solicitations for this book were secretive, showing a white space where we now know Kyle Rayner flies at our faces. DC would obviously not want to ruin a suspenseful reveal, you know, like maybe having Kyle Rayner show up in Countdown, apparently having gotten better. But regardless, it’s our Book of Doom, and…
