Book of Doom: Superman: New Krypton Special

Are you still undecided over whether or not you want to follow the upcoming Mega Superman crossover? The bottle city of Kandor has been released on Earth, and who knows what will happen next? All I know is that it’s going to be nine parts, and it’s going to cross through every Superman book. Come…



Book of Doom: Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds #2 (of 5)

This post is a couple days late, obviously, but hopefully you can forgive its tardiness on account of 24 Hour Comic Day and the effects that event had on my sleep schedule. While I’m not exactly sure how this can possibly tie in with Final Crisis, I’m still entertained by what’s going on in this…



Book of Doom: Green Lantern #35

Welcome to the second part of our two-part Book of Doom this week, focusing on arc-ending chapters (that also happen to be written by Geoff Johns). We took on Action Comics #870 yesterday, and today we look at Green Lantern #35. Against my initial prejudice, this “Secret Origin” story got off to a good start…



Book of Doom: Action Comics #870

I’d had the ending of this ruined for me by The Comics Reporter in an 8:10 a.m. no-mention-of-spoilers post announcing that Pa Kent died. I’m sure there are plenty of excuses and justifications for why TCP doesn’t or shouldn’t need spoiler warnings, but the simple fact of it is that I was unable to read…



Book of Doom: Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds

Well, it’s that time of the week again. Actually, it’s a day late, but whatever. This week, for the Book of Doom, we decided on the first issue of the new miniseries “Legion of Three Worlds,” a tie-in to “Final Crisis.” Written by Geoff Johns, drawn by George Perez, it focuses on Superman and the…



Book of Doom: Final Crisis #3

Man, Final Crisis just isn’t going to get any better, is it? We’re about halfway through now, and the third issue was just as poorly paced and written as the first one. As you may have been able to tell from the past few days of posts, the other guys here have similar feelings. So…



Book of Doom: JSA Annual #1

I stopped reading Justice Society of America a few months ago as this Kingdom Come storyline was starting but just seeming to spin its wheels. I had some room left in my quota this week, though, so I decided to grab this. I snuck a peak at the last issue of JSA, in which Gog…



Book of Doom: Final Crisis #2

Let’s see…Cutesy Japanese pop heroes. Time bullets. Monkey doctors. Kamandi. Yep, Final Crisis still sucks. Let’s let the rest of the Legion sound of before I add my two cents… Jim Doom: “I liked this a lot more than last issue. Unlike that awful issue 1, this gave us a mystery that gives the book…



Book of Doom: Wolverine #66

I like Wolverine. He’s a cool character. I find it enjoyable to have a few drinks with friends and get into ridiculous arguments about who would win in a Wolverine vs Batman fight. He’s just a fun, versatile character that is a major badass. But, boy, do I hate his comic. I don’t regularly buy…



Book of Doom: Trinity #1

When I first heard about Trinity, I asked Doom DeLuise if he’d be willing to let me take over reviews of DC’s weekly series. “Feel free to do the weekly reviews,” he said. “Just promise you’ll be objectively analyzing them instead of leaning toward blowing a fanboy spooge all over the blog. That’s a gross…
