Stop missing me, dears, and dry those tears for The Doomino Effect has returned! After a one week hiatus brought upon by caring for Fiance Doom’s wisdom teeth extraction, Jim Doom is back and sort of ready to return to form in the only column I know of that sounds like “Dew minnow a fecked.”…
This week at the Legion of Doom, we are taking an unprecedented leap both forward and backward. Backward, almost a year ago in one case, to when these books were originally solicited. Forward, for we are going the extra mile (and book) and including two comics in our weekly roundtable. That’s right – in a…
story by Frank Miller; sequential adaptation by Steven Grant; art by Juan Jose Ryp Published by Avatar Press. Originally published as Robocop #1-9. Cover price $29.99. Frank Miller is probably the biggest name in comics-to-film adaptations. Sin City and 300 were both big hits, and now Ronin is on its way. But way back in…
I’m all out of ways to reference dominoes while introducing this column, so END OF INTRO. First up is Supergirl and the Legion of Super-Heroes #29. Mark Waid’s run on this book was largely panned by LOSH loyalists, but I always enjoyed it. Even when I didn’t know what was going on or if the…
Here at the Legion of Doom, we’re always looking out for each other and doing our best to help each other whenever we can. Well, as you may recall, The Joe Quesada Award for Distinction in Diminishing Stories You Had Nothing To Do With was a creation of Fin Fang Doom back in the late…
I was just reading Newsarama’s interview with Justice Society of America artist Dale Eaglesham when I thought, “Gosh, that new Sandman really looks stupid.” Then I started thinking even more, and realized that pretty much every incarnation of Sandman, regardless of era or company, looks stupid. Starting out, we’ve got the Golden Age Sandman, who…
It’s the Legion of Doom’s weekly roundtable review – The Book of Doom – and this week, for the first in what will hopefully be a regular feature of the Book of Doom, we’ve got a special guest – Matt from Another Damn Comic Blog. This week’s selection is the second in the “Fallen Son:…
Hello, my sexy dalmatian feminine Cable sidekicks, and welcome to this week’s Doomino Effect. This week’s line-up will be free of any thoughts on World War III, because that’s what our Saturday roundtable was for. So let’s get started on the rest of the week that was…last week. First up is Mighty Avengers #2. I…
It’s Book of Doom time, and that means that the Legion of Doom does its best to help some publisher sell an additional four copies of some lucky book! This week, it’s Fallen Son: The Death of Captain America – Avengers. And this week’s edition of the Book of Doom features a new element to…
Well, my Kurt LODers, the week we had all been looking forward to has come and gone – the week of DC’s World War III. It was the story too big to be told in the pages of 52 – the story that would tie up all the loose ends still lingering after twenty-five twenty…
