Alert readers will recall that some time back we brought you a review of the collected series God the Dyslexic doG, which was written by the father-son team of Philip and Brian Phillipson and illustrated by indie comics mainstay Alex Nino. It’s a sort of psychotropic adventure through history, mythology and psychology, heading full barrel…
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…
How best to describe this week in comics? Well, paltry fits pretty well. I read a handful of books and a few lucky fellas were buy worthy. Also, for some reason my shop didn’t have Crossing Midnight or Shazam, which certainly would’ve helped things out. So, here’s my very brief and more-than-mildly-disappointed recap of the…
The secret of 52 is that the multiverse still exists. How much cooler would this week’s issue be if Dan Didio hadn’t let that little bit of information spill out all those months ago? 52 worlds. 52 Morrows. Apparently, a year ago, when Alexander Luthor’s hands were tearing open space and time, way out near…
The biggest comic book movie of the summer is only a week and change away. Spider-Man 3, which may be the last team-up of Sam Raimi and the core cast from the first two films, will be out soon, but Nick Nunziata at Chud.com provides a SPOILER-FREE look at the flick. Some highlights: I was…
Hello, my sexy dalmatian feminine Cable sidekicks, and welcome to this week’s Doomino Effect. This week’s line-up will be free of any thoughts on World War III, because that’s what our Saturday roundtable was for. So let’s get started on the rest of the week that was…last week. First up is Mighty Avengers #2. I…
It’s Book of Doom time, and that means that the Legion of Doom does its best to help some publisher sell an additional four copies of some lucky book! This week, it’s Fallen Son: The Death of Captain America – Avengers. And this week’s edition of the Book of Doom features a new element to…
By Mike Carey (W) and John Bolton (A) Vertigo, 2007, $19.99 Of the major comics writers out there right now, Mike Carey is one of the most prolific and diverse. He writes horror titles, big superhero fare and smaller stuff, like Vertigo’s Crossing Midnight. This week sees the release of his original graphic novel that…
Artist of the Week- Kristian Donaldson, Fallen Angel #15 Wait a second! Someone else is getting the Meaningless Award for Artist of the Week the same week Darwyn Cooke’s The Spirit came out? How is that even possible? Well, you just have to combine the always fantastic Fallen Angel with an awesome new artist. I’m…
In a move to appease the victims of World War III (see: fans), DC Comics is going to be releasing some advance looks at Countdown, the new series that spins out of 52. (Note: it’s spearheaded by Paul Dini, so it should be better than sucky.) Now, if you’ve just dropped $130 on 52 and…
