I don’t know any more about this book than what the solicitation tells me.* I don’t know anything about these creators. I do, however, know that I’m sick of most comics I read and the idea of choosing Dark Avengers #1 couldn’t have made me any less enthusiastic. And it’s only $2.99. So I’m taking…
This week, we chose Action Comics for our Book of Doom, because it’s the conclusion to the quite entertaining New Krypton story-arc, and we were all interested in seeing how that wrapped up, as well as what the new status-quo is going to be in the Superman books. And now I really don’t care. I’m…
Have you been keeping up with New Krypton? All of us here at Doomkopf were in agreement that it’s the Best Crossover of 2008. This week’s new issue of Action Comics marks the conclusion of the event, so we’ve decided to review it for this week’s Book of Doom round-table discussion (coming up on Saturday)….
Sorry it took so long for this review to get up, but we’ve been behind in getting our comics, and we’ve all been pretty busy with other stuff. Hope you can forgive us, because this is the last time I’m ever apologizing for anything, ever again. Incognito #1, to me, seems like a perfect first…
According to Marvel.com, this week should see the release of Incognito #1, the debut issue of the new series from Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips, the creators of Criminal. If the quality of Criminal is any indication, it should be very good. Of course, I say “should see the release” because nobody else seems to…
This week we took a look at Secret Invasion: Dark Reign #1, the book that carries us from the closing pages of Secret Invasion #8 to everything else that comes next. The end of Secret Invasion left me intrigued, but I’m not sure how much I’ll be following along. Now that the Marvel Universe has…
Sorry for the tardiness on this — I was waffling on what to choose for this week’s Book of Doom and leaning toward Detective #851 but apprehensive about choosing a third Batman book in three weeks. Once I got to the shop, I realized that Secret Invasion: Dark Reign #1 came out. Apparently I looked…
Having just read Batman #682 for a second time, I’m still not quite sure if I liked it or not. But I guess considering my usual reaction to Grant Morrison’s work, that’s an above-average result. I like the trip through memory lane that Morrison wrote out here. You don’t see Batman’s Golden Age roots mentioned…
Another week, another issue of Batman. Even though I haven’t read much of Grant Morrison’s run on Batman (and I’ve hated what I have read), I felt strangely compelled to choose Batman #682 as this week’s Book of Doom. Jim Doom and Doom DeLuise have been telling me this book is actually good, even though…
Well, I was way off. Several weeks back, I predicted that the man behind the Black Glove and the “most ignoble betrayal” to Batman was going to be Nightwing. Failing that, I thought there’d be a good chance of it being Robin. Turns out, I was wrong. The ultimate badguy behind the Black Glove is……
