It’s far too rare here we take a look into the realm of small-press and self published comics. So I’m really glad to get the chance to offer a review of Undercard, a new boxing comic written by Chris Gumprich and illustrated by Dennis Culver. The book – which the two published – follows a…
At the Diamond Retailer Summit, Marvel announced a whole slate of projects. For good reason, most of the attention has gone to the planned cross-promotional effort with CBS soap opera Guiding Light. The only way this could seem like a good idea would be if it was all a set up for the next issue…
One year ago today, Jim Doom posted the very first entry here on Legion of Doom. He was quickly followed by Jean-Claude Van Doom, Doominator, Colonel Doom, myself and more recently Doom DeLuise. But to make sure this anniversary isn’t just some self-congratulatory BS, we’ve decided to mark the occasion by adding a new feature…
It was announced last Friday after a few weeks of speculation that Thunderbolts will be receiving a major makeover early next year courtesy of Warren Ellis and Mike Deodato. Essentially spinning off of the team of Thunderbolts seen on the last page of Civil War #4, the new Thunderbolts will ditch the continuity that has…
For any of our Lincoln or Nebraska-based readers, the Legion of Doom will be hosting our own 24 Hour Comics Day at the Hi-Way Diner at 2105 Highway 2. I’ll be there, I’m pretty sure that Fin Fang Doom will be, and Doom DeLuise is reported to be making an appearance. Check out 24hourcomicslincoln.com for…

I’m not saying…
Aaron at Geek In the City has a spoiler-free review of Hollywoodland, the new movie about the death of Superman actor George Reeves.
Months ago, DC released the first image of Ed Benes’ take on the Justice League of America. Last Wednesday, Justice League of America #1 hit comic shops. The image we had all come to love was split down the middle (because DC knew they could milk another $4 out of some of us), but that…
Congrats to the Comic Shop News on their 1,000th issue. It seems like only yesterday that I picked up issue 973. The free weekly pamphlet on the goings on in the comic book world has been around since 1987, which, in this latest edition the editors remind us, “when we started CSN, trade paperbacks were…
I should have known they’d f@^% it up. When I got to the comic shop today, I was met with a surprising bit of news regarding Civil War. Apparently, someone at Marvel wants to get fired. Apparently, Steve McNiven can’t draw nearly as quickly as a comic artist should be able to. And apparently, Marvel…
