The Doomino Effect for the week of June 6, 2007

DC might not show us the solution to the two-Legions problem for quite a while yet. Know why? Because we may or may not keep buying comics to find out how the good guys beat the bad guys, but we’ll probably keep buying them to find out just how continuity is arranged these days. It…



The only time it’s cooler to be Superman than Batman…

…is when you’re hanging out with Zatanna….



Stan Lee hooks up with Disney

The BBC reports that Stan Lee is teaming up with Disney to create new characters for film and animation projects. On one hand, good for Stan. It’s nice when 80-somethings can still find work. On the other hand, I seem to recall that about every year or so, there’s some new Stan Lee creation coming…



The Doomino Effect for the week of May 30, 2007

Did you know that if someone with a Brooklyn accent was referring to Jeffrey Dahmer’s smelling device, it would sound like they were saying “Dominoes” ? This is of course irrelevant, because this is the Doomino Effect, and so please continue reading. Speaking of reading, that leads me to Daredevil #97, which I read! We’re…



In the absence of the Doomino Effect… BLACK WEDNESDAY

Last week was kind of slow for me, and I think I only bought one book that wasn’t Countdown or the Book of Doom, so being unable to write a segue, I thought instead I would just bemoan the coming of Black Wednesday. Wednesdays are typically my favorite day of the week. At least they…



I swear this isn’t just to get more “When Fangirls Attack” hits

Most of this is somewhat old news in the rapid world of the internet, but there’s so many different versions of this same issue popping up in the past few weeks, I think it’s worth collecting just to see how publishers are repeating themselves. I normally skip everything I ever see regarding statues of comic…



The Doomino Effect for the week of May 16, 2007

Hello, freckled blockheads, and welcome to this week’s installment of The Doomino Effect. Getting us started is Batman #665. I had stopped reading Batman somewhere a few issues back. I thought the Damian / Ninja bat storyline was stupid, then there was that Grotesk arc, and then I remember an issue with lots of typography….



Book of Doom That Time Forgot: ASSBAR #5

It’s our tribute to the notoriously delayed, yet finally released comic books of last week, as yesterday we took on Ultimates 2 #13 and today it’s time for All-Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder. I stopped reading ASSBAR after issue 2 or 3 when I just felt offended to be paying money for stupid…



Book of Doom That Time Forgot: Ultimates 2 #13

There’s just too much this week. We took on two books at once, and there was just too much reviewing and writing to do, so we only got one done. I read on the internet that Doom DeLuise was almost done with his review, but then I read somewhere else that he isn’t…but the next…
