Joe Lawler recently posted Can women learn to enjoy comics? on his bog, which is about ways to get female readers interested in comics (mainstream US comics that is). It struck what must be a tired nerve with a number of female comics bloggers this week. Kate Dacey of the Manga Critic, Johanna Draper Carlson of Comics…
BATMAN #693 I totally intended to stop buying this book once Tony Daniel took over, but I accidentally bought the first issue of his arc. Much to my surprise, it wasn’t as terrible as Battle for the Cowl. It still wasn’t necessarily good, but it was not-awful enough that I think I’m going to keep…
Welcome to the Doombin. I’m the newest member of the Doom staff, MG Doom. My goal here is basically to post bits of comics related news, information, and brief recommendations from what I am currently reading. It will be the proverbial dustbin of this and that as my comics interests are quite varied. This is…
To think, just one year ago, I was about ready to bite through my own arm, I was so wracked with nerves about the election. Good thing everything has worked out so well. Oh, wait, no, it hasn’t. That Obama hasn’t done a damned thing! What a loser! That was a joke. Here’s what we’re…
News hit today that we’re going to be getting another dose of Terry McGinnis and the Batman Beyond universe, and we’ll be getting it a little bit sooner than we may have expected. DC Executive Editor Dan DiDio announced on Newsarama that Paul Levitz will be writing the Superman/Batman annual at the beginning of next…
I discovered Miss Lasko-Gross quite by accident. Escape From “Special” was kind of jutting out from the shelf at my library, and I picked it up as an afterthought. It had been previously discussed by Van Jensen, a.k.a. Jean Claude Van Doom, but where he didn’t take something from it I, on the other hand,…
Bryan Singer wants to return to the X-Men franchise. I’m still looking to possibly returning to the ‘X-Men’ franchise. I’ve been talking to Fox about it. Not a lot to say here. X2 was one of the strongest comic movies of all time, and I think he can steer it back on a course towards…
Created as part of 24 Hour Comic Book Day, Oct 2-3, 2009. Of the Doomkopf gang, I was the only one who was able to participate this year. Check out our creations from 24HCBD 2008. Notes and spoilers on this comic after the jump. [simpleviewer=4]…
Marvel editor C.B. Cebulski went on a mini-twitter-tirade against Wizard today: More shoddy, sensationalistic reporting in the new Wizard. Let them retweet that as it seems this is where they’re getting all their “news”. (source) @jengrunwald With that kind of misinformation, it wouldn’t surprise me if it was a Wizard podcast. (source) @richjohnston I think…
From Rob Liefeld’s Twitter. In junior high, we’d call this an “easy target.” It’s like I caught the slightest hint of underwear peaking out from sweat pants and now my hands can’t wait to put a wedgie death grip on them. Instead, I’ll let you write them. Put your comments below, and speculate on the…
