I mentioned, not long ago, my unexpected love for The Incredible Hercules, and along with it I mentioned that I probably won’t be able to actually convince anybody to pick it up, so what better way to force people to read something than by making it my pick for this week’s Book of Doom.
So, I learned something very important. Don’t try new things. Ever. You’ll get burnt and disappointed, and your friends will think less of you. That is, at least, what I surmised from the reactions to Johnny Monster #1. In my own views, the issue was certainly not good. It was kind of fun – you…
For my pick for Book of Doom this week, I’m ending the backwards hegemony of Nightwing idolatry and DC obsession perpetrated by Jim Doom and Doom DeLuise, and going with the one with the dinosaur on the cover: Johnny Monster #1, first issue in the Image Comics mini-series. Johnny Monster is the world’s foremost super-star…
It’s certainly been one hell of a run, eh, sports fans? Before we start with the reviews, let me just say that Nightwing, aka Dick Grayson, is my favorite superhero. I’ve read every single issue of his solo title since it began in 1996, and, for the most part, it’s been enjoyable. The build-up to…
Nightwing has had his own series for about thirteen years now, and this is his final issue. I’d say that’s reason enough for this to be our Book of Doom for the week. Through his exploits in Bludhaven, his stint as a cop, his battles with Nite-Wing and Blockbuster and Tarantula, his time spent as…
This week’s Book of Doom is The Mighty #1, written by Peter Tomasi and Keith Champagne and illustrated by Peter Snejbjerg. I’m joined this week by Doom DeLuise and guest contributors Robb from Capes Comics and Jason from Legend Comics. So in some ways, I was kind of underwhelmed by this book. I’m not sure…
I was this close () to picking Adventure Comics #0 as the Book of Doom this week. That $1 price tag looks nice, and I’m curious about whatever “Origins and Omens” backup story there is. Given that Legion of 3 Worlds also ships this week, I wouldn’t mind having a little sense of what the…
Welcome to the latest edition of Doomkopf’s Book of Doom. This week, our roundtable discussion is about the final issue of Grant Morrison’s “Final Crisis.” This isn’t the first time we’ve discussed the series on here, and our Book of Doom has even been devoted to its issues more than once or twice. For this…
This is it, folks. The conclusion we’ve all been. . . waiting for? After a full year of build up (I can’t type that with a straight face), six stuffed issues, and several spin-off mini-series, this is the end of the line for Grant Morrison’s epic final chapter in the Crisis Trilogy. For the most…
I chose Mysterius the Unfathomable #1 as this week’s Book of Doom because I was looking for something completely different to dig me out of my spandex superhero rut. And with that as my goal, it was a complete success. I went into this with absolutely no familiarity whatsoever with either creator. I was quickly…
