I’m not quite sure yet what to make of Final Crisis #1. It wasn’t another mind-numbing crapfest like I’ve come to expect from Grant Morrison, which means I’m not rejecting the rest of the story off-hand (like I did with All-Star Superman and Batman RIP). Then again, it didn’t really do anything to make me…
I have mixed feelings about this issue. I read it twice. The first time I read it, I thought it was awful. The second time I read it, I still thought it was awful, but I tried to think about why I thought it was awful, and in doing so, I found myself faulting the…
I didn’t know what to to expect going into DC Universe #0. This is the third time DC has released a bargain-priced universe-wide one-shot, and while Countdown to Infinite Crisis was one of the best single issues of any comic ever, Brave New World was a bunch of crappy short stories designed to get you…
It’s been three weeks since the Book of Doom returned with a vengeance, with a 4-day review-thon spotlighting as many books. Since then, we here at doomkopf.com haven’t been able to decide on a book that we had enough interest in to sit down and write a review. This week Superman #675, the final Kurt…
It’s the final installment of our 4-Part Book of Doom series this week, reviewing four new issues that began four new arcs in their respective titles. Ms. Marvel #25 followed up on last month’s revelation by Tony Stark that Carol Danvers – or at least a Carol Danvers was a Skrull. We can see from…
I would’ve dropped Legion of Super-Heroes this month if not for the 4-Part Book of Doom. I really liked it during Mark Waid’s run. Tony Bedard’s was hit and miss with me. It seemed like it was leading to something great, then just kind of fizzled away. But Jim Shooter’s run downright stinks. Last month’s…
I really like Daredevil. I really like the “true-crime” approach that Ed Brubaker and Brian Michael Bendis have taken with the book. I also really like the relationships between Daredevil and his supporting cast. But I really didn’t care much for this issue. Ever since Daredevil got out of prison — emerging from the storyline…
At first I was really excited about the Secret Origin of Hal Jordan miniseries. Hal Jordan’s Green Lantern has always been one of my favorite characters, Geoff Johns is one of my favorite writers and Ivan Reis is one of my favorite artists. But then I started reading it, and I was like “Man, I’ve…
We’ve been batting around the idea of bringing the Book of Doom back here at Doomkopf.com, but it seems that whenever we’re talking about it, it’s just never the right week. Well this week, there are four books coming out with either major events or the start of brand new arcs, thus serving as great…
As Doom DeLuise explained last week, the Doomkopf Book of Doom is now each member of the legion’s favorite book of the week. It’s a little late this week because comics were late this week and because I’m just always late at everything. For my favorite this week, I’m going to take Captain America #33….
