I need to come up with a good name for what could easily be a recurring feature, because I see stuff like this all the time in political and policy writing (or at least more than I’d expect) and it’s like a special shout-out to the comics fans. This is from Matthew Yglesias at Thinkprogress…
DC comics is expanding their Vertigo imprint with an imprint of its own. I caught wind of Vertigo Noir in this month’s Previews, and I must admit to being slightly curious. Vertigo is more or less the only DC stuff I’ve ever picked up, and as I’ve posted before, I loves me some crime stories….
Doom DeLuise: • Batman Battle for the Cowl #2 – Like I’ve said before, I’m not really excited for this miniseries, and I doubt it will have any lasting impact on the Batman universe, but I’m still going to read it, because I want to know who Batman is. I’m weird like that, I guess….
…will not be found here. Over the course of the past week, Fox has had its hands full trying to deal with a leaked copy of the new X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie. It’s an unfinished version of the film that’s set to be released the first week of May, and it’s floating all over the…
Geektyrant has a rundown of some of the gossip surrounding Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, including a list of the robots in the film. Among the highlights: • Some of the Autobots are deliberately stupid and childlike, but that’s what the kids like, according to Michael Bay. I’m having a tough time imagining Autobots acting even…
Dark X-Men. Dammit Marvel! Namor, Cloak and Dagger, Daken, Angel or Icarus or Mimic or something with wings, Professor Xavier and Emma Frost (or someone with a similarly constructed … frame) and Omega the Unknown … well, probably not on that last one. Is the lady in black perhaps Adriana Frost? So they’re stealing the…
I don’t have the energy to make this an April Fool’s joke, as if someone would be so concerned as to what we’re buying that they’d want to get fooled about it. It’s presumptuous enough to post this as it is. With that said, let’s jump right in! Jim Doom: • Flash Rebirth #1 of…
Comic artist Bob Hall (Batman, Avengers) is having a gallery show on Friday, April 3 at the Project Room at 1410 O St. in Lincoln. Some of his comic book work from the nineties will be on display on Saturdays throughout April. Bob will be at the Project Room on First Friday at around 6:30…
Andy Diggle just confirmed on twitter what had been rumored since Joe Quesada accidentally slipped last week — Diggle will take over Daredevil with the renumbered issue #501. I have mixed feelings on this. The only Diggle work I’ve ever read was Green Arrow: Year One, and while it started strong, I ended up hating it….
[SFX: Intro Music] DOOM DELUISE: Hello and welcome to the latest Podcast of Doom. I’m your co-host Doom DeLuise, and with me as usual is my fellow co-host Jim Doom. What’s on your mind, Jimmy? Can I call you Jimmy? JIM DOOM: So I don’t know about you, but I’ve been on a steady course…
