This week at the Legion of Doom, we are taking an unprecedented leap both forward and backward. Backward, almost a year ago in one case, to when these books were originally solicited. Forward, for we are going the extra mile (and book) and including two comics in our weekly roundtable. That’s right – in a…
If there’s one thing I’ve come to expect from Robert Kirkman, it’s that whatever direction I think he’s going to take a story in is inevitably not the direction he goes with. I’m amazed by how many times I’ve been amazed by a choice Kirkman has made in one of his comics, especially in The…
Let’s face it: this is a pretty crappy week for comics. Nothing much of interest comes out this week besides Countdown (which Doom DeLuise has dibs on), and almost everything else worth reading is in the middle of an arc. Not exactly the best pick for a Book of Doom. Thankfully, there is one comic…
Welcome one and all to the weekly roundtable o’ Doom, in which we villainous folk tear apart a book. In this second week of our guest star extravaganza (read on to see which blogger is joining the fun) we’re looking at the kicker-offer to World War Hulk. Would it shatter the senses as billed? According…
Do you enjoy sight? How about smell? Do you want to keep your ability to feel and hear? I ask this as warning, a civil service, if you will. Because according to Marvel, the book we Doomers are collectively reviewing this Saturday is “senses-shattering.” Now, we of the Doom are made of the sternest materials,…
It’s the Legion of Doom’s weekly roundtable review – The Book of Doom – and this week, for the first in what will hopefully be a regular feature of the Book of Doom, we’ve got a special guest – Matt from Another Damn Comic Blog. This week’s selection is the second in the “Fallen Son:…
It’s Book of Doom time, and that means that the Legion of Doom does its best to help some publisher sell an additional four copies of some lucky book! This week, it’s Fallen Son: The Death of Captain America – Avengers. And this week’s edition of the Book of Doom features a new element to…
Rising from the pages of Annihilation, Nova gets a fresh new series this week, and it just so happens to be the topic of this week’s Book of Doom, where you get four (or sometimes three or two) reviews for the price of one. Due to the Husker football spring game, I’ve been at work…
For those of you that didn’t read “Annihilation,” which, I’m guessing, is all of you, let me just fill you in by telling you that it was actually pretty damn good. One of the things that happened in the mini-series was the destruction of the Nova Corps at the hands of Annihilus. All of the…
It’s Saturday once again, which means it’s time for the Legion’s group review of this week’s Book of Doom: Avengers: The Initiative #1. I chose this book because it was written by Dan Slott of She-Hulk, The Thing, Great Lakes Avengers and Spider-Man/Human Torch fame. I’ve never read a thing by the guy I haven’t…
