More on Cap: The Chosen

A day after we here at Doomkopf broke the news of the upcoming Captain America: The Chosen series, Marvel officially released news of the book. So, if you’re keeping score at home, that’s a scoop for the partners in Doom. Okay, okay, enough tooting of the horn. Even thought it feels good, real good. In…



DOOMKOPF EXCLUSIVE:Captain America lives

Maybe you’ve read this week’s Lying in the Gutters, in which Rich Johnston relates the old news that David Morrell, the novelist who created Rambo, wrote a Captain America mini-series that will debut this fall. Want some new news? Well then, you came to the right place. At this week’s Wizard World Philadelphia, Marvel will…



Stan Lee hooks up with Disney

The BBC reports that Stan Lee is teaming up with Disney to create new characters for film and animation projects. On one hand, good for Stan. It’s nice when 80-somethings can still find work. On the other hand, I seem to recall that about every year or so, there’s some new Stan Lee creation coming…



Preview: Silverfish

By David Lapham Vertigo, 2007. $24.99 Many thanks to the folks at Vertigo for the early look at David Lapham’s original graphic novel Silverfish, which comes out this month. A quick note to preface the preview — for a long time, I’ve dealt with Sierra Hahn on DC’s PR staff. She mostly handled Vertigo. She…



I swear this isn’t just to get more “When Fangirls Attack” hits

Most of this is somewhat old news in the rapid world of the internet, but there’s so many different versions of this same issue popping up in the past few weeks, I think it’s worth collecting just to see how publishers are repeating themselves. I normally skip everything I ever see regarding statues of comic…

I don’t care how much they look like Doom DeLuise’s dad…the new JLA has never look better than it does on the cover to its twelfth issue. Of course, the alternative was Michael Turner, so poop smeared on a canvas would be a step up.



Since the conclusion to Heroes sucked…

Anyone else feel that was a Grade A letdown? Me too. Wouldn’t you think that a battle royale between the two “Heroes” with multiple powers would entail them using, uh, multiple powers?

News of Doom

Like horror and/or drawing? If you answered yes to either, you might be interested in the following news that first, Boom! Studios is looking for some artists to join the ranks and second, Fangoria has announced the publication dates of its new line of books. As Marv Alberts said in Baseketball, “You’re excited? Feel these…



Signs of ASSBAR

The perpetually delayed state of All Star Batman and Robin is sort of a mixed bag. On the one hand, it’s nice to know that no matter what, there’s absolutely no chance I’ll read any more of Frank Miller’s spiteful tromp through Batman’s yesteryears. On the other hand, it’s fun to have any excuse to…
