Book of Doom: Fantastic Four #544

It’s Book of Doom time, kids, and this week, there’s a whole lot of stuff that we’ve covered in recent Books of Doom – Godland (supposedly), Daredevil, Wolverine and Superman: Confidential, so I’m going to branch out from my usual selections and declare Fantastic Four #544 as this week’s pick. I never read Fantastic Four,…



The Doomino Effect for the week of Mar 21, 2007

Don’t go falling all over yourselves, because it’s time for this week’s Doomino Effect. Actually that’s a lie, because normally Tuesday is time for the Doomino Effect. But Fin Fang Doom didn’t buy enough comics last week to justify his weekly “Meaningless Awards” and Jean-Claude Van Doom hasn’t swung by yet with his “Worst to…



Introducing a new link in the LOD blogroll

I’d like to introduce Matt and Another Damn Comic Blog. Not only does he agree with my assessment of the New Avengers, but he also thinks Michael Turner sucks. I think my fellow LODers will agree (on at least 50% of the above criteria) that makes him a good fit for our links. 😉

The Doomino Effect for the week of Mar 14, 2007

Hell-o, everyone! Since Jean-Claude Van Doom didn’t buy enough comics this week to flesh out his regular Worst to First column, and since I neglected to bring you the Doomino Effect for last week (I still haven’t been able to bring myself to read everything I bought last Wednesday), let’s fill that void and bump…



Doom and Doomer: 300 (part 2)

Welcome part 2 of our discussion on 300, the movie adaptation of the Frank Miller / Lynn Varley graphic novel about the Battle of Thermopylae. Be sure to read part 1 before continuing. JIM DOOM: Okay, so let’s leave “character development” behind. Is there anything else you guys want to talk about? FIN FANG DOOM:…



Doom and Doomer: 300 (part 1)

Welcome to another installment of Doom and Doomer, in which members of the Legion take a look at comics on the big screen. Tonight it’s Jim Doom, Doom DeLuise and Fin Fang Doom taking on 300, the movie adaptation of the Frank Miller / Lynn Varley graphic novel about the Battle of Thermopylae. JIM DOOM:…



You wouldn’t like me when I’m Stuart Lee

Rich Johnston reports in this week’s Lying in the Gutters that Stewart Lee will be writing a pilot episode for a BBC2 sitcom about Thor. While it will be about Thor the Norse god and not Thor the comic character, Johnston points out that Lee’s not the least bit ignorant about comics. He didn’t exactly…

In case you haven’t used the internet in your cave in the past few days, this clip includes spoilers.



The Doomino Effect for the week of Mar 1, 2007

Hey everybody, it’s time for that little weekly event of falling over with your friends to make a beautiful picture from up above that we call The Doomino Effect! Starting off this week is 52 #43. I’m pleased that each week has an actual big event, but I’m sick of them spoiling it on the…
