It’s Book of Doom time! We buy it, we read it, we review it. You might buy it. You can read it. Saturday, you read what we said about it. This week, it’s the relaunch of The Brave and the Bold. Written by Mark Waid; Art by George Perez and Bob Wiacek; Covers by Perez…
Image set out to bring some new readers to their series Godland by putting out a special 60 cent issue this week. It was at least enticing enough for the Doomers to choose it as this week’s Book of Doom. Was it enough to convert us into faithful readers? I’ll let the crowd answer that…
Howdy all! Why do I say “howdy”? I don’t know, just seemed like the thing to say. Our communal review last week was roundly dissed because it cost a relatively absurd $5.99. Time to rejoice, you cheapskates! This week’s choice is issue 16 of the Jack-Kirby-meets-Sealab-2021-type series Godland, which is retailing for the unbeatable price…
As the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase put it so well over the years, “Everybody’s got a price.” Apparently, that price is $5.99. Jim Doom: “I read the first 10 pages or so in the store, and the rags-to-lightning story wasn’t enough to convince me to drop $5.99 on it.” Both Jim Doom and Doom…
A while ago, Jim Doom made a post about his love of Mike Allred. A little later, he followed it up with a list of creators whose work he will buy no matter what. While I don’t have the appreciation of Mike Allred that Jim does, I do have my own list of creators that…
Not much new or interesting came out this week, so we fell back on ol’ reliable Ed Brubaker and his latest installment of Daredevil. As I mentioned previously, we’ve seen Matt Murdock pretty well run through the ringer over the past years (much of that during the extremely good Bendis era). On the surface, this…
Not a lot of new books coming out this week, so we’re opting for a communal review of the first issue in a new arc of Daredevil. In the past months, we’ve seen Matt go to prison, break out of prison, jaunt across Europe and come face to face with Foggy’s supposed killer (which is…
I think I like that cover. It’s fairly neat. For those of you paying attention, it’s time, once again, for the entire Legion to get together for a round-table discussion of an issue that came out this past Wednesday. This week’s pick is Wolverine #50, and, from what I’ve seen, it appears that we’re all…
This week, we’re collectively reviewing the latest “last battle ever between Sabretooth and Wolverine.” Will it be up to the level of that issue in which Wolvie popped a claw through Sabe’s skull, rendering him a kitten? Probably not. But, it has to be better than Wolverine: The End, right? Here’s what Marvel says: COVER…
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…
