(Satan’s) Book of (Double Evil) Doom

Hello fiends, and welcome to this week’s devilish double-shot with our roundtable reviews of Grendel: Behold the Devil #0 and Batman #666. Starting off with Grendel, when I picked this, I didn’t realize right off that it was just a preview issue. I was more entranced by the fact that it fit with the theme…



(Satan’s) Book of (Double Evil) Doom

This week’s Book of Doom is about something greater than comics. It’s about an age-old battle. Something even bigger than Wolverine vs. Batman. It’s about good vs. evil…God vs Satan. And this week, we choose Satan. In honor of July 25th – also known as Christmas in July – also known as The Anti-Christ…mas –…



Book of Doom: World War Hulk #2

If you’re wondering where the pick for this week’s Book of Doom came from, you may not be alone. Well, you may be alone, too, but, no, don’t worry, there’s no way you could’ve seen this coming, because I never posted an announcement earlier in the week. So, I guess you could say it’s coming…



Book of Doom: Green Lantern #21

Okay, yeah, so Green Lantern #21 wasn’t quite as wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am as our last Book of Doom, The Sinestro Corps Special, but then again the second part of a mulit-part storyline rarely packs the same punch as the first one did. The Special had a lot of work to do, setting up all the story and…



Book of Doom: Green Lantern #21

A few weeks ago, the Sinestro Corps Special was our Book of Doom. All of us here at Doomkopf loved it, so I figured we might as well make the Sinestro War our unofficial Event of Doom and pick the next chapter of the story as this week’s BoD. As an extra special bonus, I’ve…



‘Til Death Doom Us Part

I apologize for the self-celebratory nature of this post, but I wanted a visual aide to help announce to the loyal readers that there will be no Book of Doom this week. First off, I’m getting hitched on Saturday and the rest of the Legion is going to be there. Factor in that Independence Day…



Book of Doom: Sinestro Corps #1

Normally, our Saturday roundtable review of a single comic devolves into something of a ridicule-fest. We’ve picked some clunkers in the past, that’s for sure. We’ve also had a few decent disagreements over books. Never before, though, have we all banded together and called a book one of the best of the year. Until now….



Book of Doom: Sinestro Corps #1

We’re featuring R. Kelly’s favorite super-villain this week on our Book of Doom with Green Lantern: Sinestro Corps #1 (vague reference? Think golden shower/yellow ring). For the second straight week, we’re possibly without a guest reviewer. My excuse is that I spent last week in Seattle and only just got back. Lame? I know. Now,…



Book of Doom: Flash: Fastest Man Alive #13

So the Flash is dead. Oh, wait, Wally’s back, so, no, I guess it’s just Bart Allen that’s dead. Bummer, right? Well, maybe. This week’s Book of Doom is, obviously, Flash #13, as I have a real knack for picking issues where the main character bites it. First Captain America, and now this. This death…



Book of Doom: Flash: Fastest Man Alive #13

Apologies for the late notice, but I’ve been one busy guy lately. Anyway, in case you are unfamiliar with the concept behind our weekly Book of Doom, this week, you should go out and buy Flash #13, if you haven’t already, read it, come back on Saturday, read our thoughts on it, and share some…
