Welcome back to our weekly roundup of the Book of Doom. This week I picked Green Arrow #70. Myself and Fin Fang Doom are new to the series OYL, and Jim Doom is a regular, so we’re bringing some varied viewpoints. I would compare the book to the first Die Hard movie. Die Hard is…
After a holiday hiatus, we’re back with the weekly Books of Doom feature. Like the Dick in a Box, this comes with three steps. One: Buy the book listed below. Two: Read the book. Three: Come back here and read what we thought of it, then tell us why we’re a bunch of yokels. Our…
Due to holiday stuff that’s going on, the Book of Doom is going to be put on hold for a little bit. Sorry to all of our faithful readers (both of you) that look forward to out roundtable reviews every Saturday. See you in 2007.
For the Book of Doom this week, we decided, well, I decided, to take on Wonder Man #1, written by Peter David and drawn by Andrew Currie. Here’s the synopsis, thanks to Marvel.com: Meet Lady Killer – the dangerous assassin who comes head-to-head with the Avenger called Wonder Man! But Wonder Man doesn’t want to…
It’s Saturday, the sun is shining, the air is wintry cool, and apparently Warren Ellis continues to frustrate the Doomers. How so? Well, of course, it’s our latest edition of the Books of Doom, in which we all read the same book and share our thoughts. And, it should be noted, invite you to share…
Howdy. The Doom Crew is returning this Saturday with another installment of the Books of Doom (in which we all read the same book and share our thoughts). After being all over the place on Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #14 last week, we’ll be returning to debut issues with the first installment of Warren Ellis’ newuniversal…
I’m not going to even pretend I can look at this issue from an objective point of view. I love Spider-Man. I love Peter David. I love it when people write Spider-Man as fun, and that’s what Peter David does. Granted, Friendly is not the best Spider-Man book out there (that honor belongs to Amazing),…
The last couple of times we tried to jump into the middle of a series for our Book of Doom, it didn’t turn out so well. But this week’s issue is not only the debut of a new story arc, but the debut of a new regular artist, so it’s almost like starting over with…
I just woke up earlier this afternoon, surrounded by empty bottles of beer, ashtrays full of cigarettes, and an assortment of strangers passed out in various places around my apartment. Seems I’ve been on a bender, of sorts, for the better part of the past week. I guess that’s what quitting your job does to…
It’s Wednesday, and we all know what that means. So, while you’re at your local comic shop, picking up the latest and greatest today, do yourself a favor and pick up “Astro City: The Dark Age Book 2 #1,” the first issue in the second story-arc of this Wildstorm property. Then, come back here on…
