Grant Morrison is out doing damage control for that underwhelming kickoff to Final Crisis in an interview with Newsarama. The most striking thing to me was Morrison’s apparent irritation that some readers have dared to notice countless glaring inconsistencies between Final Crisis and the full calendar year of $2.99-and-over marketing that led up to it….
It looks like Countdown’s sales crept up there at the end. Based on that curve and the close to 52, I can only assume that the final issue will continue that trend. Best guess? Maybe Countdown’s closing upswing is more consistent than 52’s because Countdown was leading to Final Crisis — not that Grant Morrison…
Continuing Doomkopf.com’s transformation into an exclusively-Iron Man comics blog, here are some entertaining little bits on an alleged Easter Egg. FIRSTSHOWING.NET: Is that Captain America’s shield in the background of the Iron Man movie?

Take a good look at this. You’re staring into the face of the new comic trend. Because of an incestuous circle of mild talent that propogated itself around the time of the forming of Image Comics, we’ve been subjected to the artist as celebrity trumping the much better “book coming out on time every month”…
Mr. Simon earned the “legend” title with his partner Jack Kirby by creating Captain America, the superhero who arrived in December 1940, just in time to play a patriotic foil to the Axis powers. The cover of the first issue even has the good captain socking Hitler in the jaw. For Mr. Simon and Mr….
File this under “WTF?” Our beloved Iron Man, the drunk ol’ asshole who no one seems to like right now has a new facet to upset Bloggers, developers, crackers, Linux users and hackaday.com. In this bit of news, it seems ol’ shellhead is going to be taking on a new force of evil. In the…
