Another solid week in the world of 52. Other than Montoya not fighting a dragon, as the cover teases, the issue didn’t disappoint. And other than Lex Luthor getting his powers, as the cover gives away, the issue had some nice twists. It’s getting to the point where there are so few issues left that…
We might be in danger of losing our comic blog status due to the fact that I think we’re the last comics-based website to mention the big teaser image released by DC last week. There’s a lot of fun speculation and attempted decoding in the forum posts that followed Newsarama’s post. Well now they’ve presented…
Last week was a slow one for me. I only picked up four comics. Wolverine #50 was our LOD Book of Doom this week, and I shared my thoughts there. But for those who missed it, I thought the book was weak on content and disappointing in its handling of Wolverine’s past. Which leads me…

Yeah I thought maybe the words were clues, but they weren’t clues that made sense to me and the character didn’t mean enough to me to warrant investigating. I could…
As we look back at the comic industry’s successes and failures over the past year, I thought it’d be nice to take a look at our own here at the Legion of Doom. Back in September, we launched a weekly feature – the Book of Doom. Each week, a rotating member of the Legion would…
I’ve noticed lately that, as my title suggests, I don’t read all my comics. I keep buying more than I read, and it’s not because I buy too many. This week I bought three. I can only make myself read two. Justice Society of America #2 I was excited about this relaunch because Geoff Johns’…
I’ve long intended to start a series addressing the use of comics to promote political ideas. That never happened. But at the very least, here’s an opportunity to at least share some links!
