Well the dust has settled (sort of) and we here at the Legion of Doom have had our say on Civil War. While opinions have varied as time passed from issue 1 to issue 7, four of us have chimed in over the past week on how the series wrapped up. Jean-Claude Van Doom wasn’t…
It’s Saturday and that means it’s Book of Doom time. This week it was The Brave and the Bold #1 by Mark Waid and George Perez. To be honest, I picked this book because nothing else looked worth picking. It was a week that did not lend itself to experimentation in my mind. I was…
Hello, my little rectangular friends with white dots, and welcome to this week’s Doomino Effect. I don’t think I did one last week, and I would look for my stack of last week’s comics if that ship hadn’t already sailed. But we are now on a new ship – a ship called this week –…
thanks to DVD Dude for the tip on this. Looks like Warner Brothers is planning Justice League: The Movie, according to Variety. While the article mentions the potential complications with the current relaunches of Batman and Superman on the big screen, it doesn’t answer the questions of whether or not the new film (which already…
It’s Book of Doom time! We buy it, we read it, we review it. You might buy it. You can read it. Saturday, you read what we said about it. This week, it’s the relaunch of The Brave and the Bold. Written by Mark Waid; Art by George Perez and Bob Wiacek; Covers by Perez…
Welcome to the first installment of Doom and Doomer, where Doom DeLuise and I take a back-and-forth look at comic book movies. Up first is Ghost Rider, starring Nicolas Cage, Eva Mendes and Peter Fonda, which opened at #1 this past weekend. JIM DOOM: Well let me say that I have lost all sympathy for…
Uncanny X-Men #483 was a whole lot of fighting and loving, with not one, but TWO close-ups of Deathbird’s tongue doing some tongue-loving. Maybe chalk that up to guest-artist Clayton Henry filling in for Billy Tan, who has clearly never seen an actual woman. This was a good enough issue that advances the plot just…

Originally published in 1987 as Justice League #1-6 and Justice League International #7.

So as somebody who doesn’t read Fantastic Four, I hadn’t noticed all the news and rumors about the secret surprise new team lineup coming after Civil War. I also hadn’t caught all the excitement about Dwayne McDuffie writing the book (even though he’s written what, Deathlok?). What did catch my eye was the small ad…
I’ve come up with an analogy, my friends, and I dare say it’s a good one. I was trying to think, what is it that has been bugging me so much about comics lately? What can I put my finger on that encapsulates so much of the disillusionment I’ve been feeling about new series, new…
