Well, for the first time in this series, it feels like something actually happened this issue. Aside from one glaring editorial mistake, I think this issue actually flows pretty well and left me somewhat satisfied. First time for everything, eh? The cover shows that Mary Marvel is taking control over Zatanna, and I must first…
Well, it took me awhile, but here I am. A day late? No, more like 12 days late. A dollar short, though? You better think again, little man. I’m back, and I have some reviewing to do, so let’s begin at issue 37 of what has been, to this point, the single worst comic book…
[SFX: Podcast of Doom theme music] DOOM DELUISE: Hello, and welcome to the Legion of Doom’s latest installment of the Podcast of Doom. Welcome to the show. I am your co-host, Doom DeLuise, and this week, we’ve decided to do a very special podcast focused strictly on “Countdown.” Please give a very hearty welcome to…
Earlier today, I was sitting around thinking of something that I could compare Countdown to, so that even the lay-person who reads these reviews would understand how crappy it is, and I came up with a really creative, totally original idea, all on my own! Have you ever seen the show Big Brother After Dark?…
Another week, another bland effort from DC as far as Countdown goes. This one is bad, bad, bad, and I mean bad. Were you really expecting much else? Here’s how it goes: The issue opens with the story of Ryan Choi (the All-New Atom), along with Donna Troy, Jason Todd, and Bob the Monitor, right…
You know what would be a really nice touch to add to Countdown? An actual narrative. Or, failing that, some compelling dialogue or entertaining fight sequences. Or, failing even that modest request, something relatively pretty to look at. Unfortunately, none of that stuff graces the pages of this worthless rag. I really don’t enjoy being…
I thought I was done with this damn series. The other night, though, I got drunk and realized that I missed blogging about how much Countdown sucks after tying one on, so I asked Jesus Christ Venereal Disease to let me take the reins once again. In a simple twist of fate, it turns out…
You may have noticed that I’ve taken over the Countdown review from our good friend, Doom DeLuise, who’s become so annoyed at comics (and this one in particular) that I don’t think he’ll be reading any more of DC’s big event. For now, then, I’m taking over. I suppose this is a bit of poetic…
I called last week a great one for comics. Let’s just say, this week makes last week look like a bunch of Rob Liefeld pap from 1996. This week is quite possibly the most enjoyable week in comics ever for me, at least. It was simply unprecedented to see so many huge occurences happen all…
Boy howdy, a lot of stuff sure did happen this week in the DC Universe! The Legion of Superheroes from the 31st Century finally made their purpose known in the pages of Justice League of America, one of the biggest characters in the universe died, another returned from the dead, and the JLA got its…
