In the lead: Superman seems to be not quite as KOed as it appeared last issue. He and Wonder Woman take the fight to Konvikt on the outskirts of town while Batman investigates the vessel that brought Konvikt to Earth. In the back-up: Tarot has a dream about Despero. Really. My take: Okay, so the…
In the lead: Konvikt beats up the entire JLA, including Superman. In the back-up: Tarot gets attacked by some local thugs, who in turn get attacked by a mysterious werewolf-like creature, who mentions that Tarot “is meant for the three who are to rise.” My take: Oh crap, this isn’t a good sign. Quite frankly,…
In the lead: A gradually expanding solar system appears in Metropolis, but Superman grabs the sun and flings it into outer space, dragging the planets with it. Gotham City is transformed into…something different, and Batman turns it back by refusing to believe it’s real. Wonder Woman gets attacked by three giant robots and beats them…
When I first heard about Trinity, I asked Doom DeLuise if he’d be willing to let me take over reviews of DC’s weekly series. “Feel free to do the weekly reviews,” he said. “Just promise you’ll be objectively analyzing them instead of leaning toward blowing a fanboy spooge all over the blog. That’s a gross…
Fear not, faithful readers: Doomkopf.com will indeed be providing you all with weekly Wednesday reviews of the newest DC weekly series, Trinity. But as a way to kick it all off, most of the crew here will be reviewing the first issue as this week’s Book of Doom. Trinity seems like it’s off to a…
How utterly fitting. In a series where absolutely nothing of importance happened over the course of fifty tedious issues, it is only fitting that the finale is similarly devoid of any points of interest. Still, the series accomplished what it set out to accomplish, I suppose. They killed all of the New Gods, and they…
Every time I try to make sense of a rise in Countdown’s sales, it ends up being something artificial — a reporting glitch, a change in return policy, or something like that. So this month, I’m not even going to try to justify it. Countdown’s numbers rose slightly. Make of it what you will. The…
Sweet, merciful crap, it’s almost over. Let me ask you an old question: If a tree falls in the woods, and nobody’s around to hear it, does it still make a sound? Now let me twist that question just a tad: If a direct Countdown tie-in features a major plot point months in advance to…
There are three things I’ve learned in the past twenty-four hours. First, you can get across the border from Panama to Costa Rica with no outbound ticket documentation by giving the border guard a five dollar bill. Second, when a boat driver tells you he’s going to pick you up at a certain time, that’s…
In case anyone was wondering, yes, Mary Marvel does in fact have boobs. See? They’re right up there. Nice and big, so you can really get a sense of how her boobs define her character. Also of note: Mary’s left boob, the logical thinking one, is evil, while her right bood, the creative one, is…
