World War III is here, and it is one heck of a barn-burning slobber knocker. Throughout the course of week fifty, Black Adam runs the gamut, blasting through Egypt, Australia, Italy, and, finally, China, where he hopes to destroy the government responsible for…well, pretty much every terrible thing that’s happened to him so far in…
After months of buildup, the biggest event of “52” is finally here. World War III. We here at the Legion of Doom have decided to give this momentous event the full coverage it deserves, devoting an entire day to what’s been dubbed “Black Adam versus the World.” Not only will we bring you in-depth looks…
The fine folks at Boom! Studios sent over a trio of new books, so I wanted to share the advance look with our readers. They’re three pretty widely different series, though everything from Boom! falls into that over-arcing “guy stuff” label. Zombies? Check. Action? Check. Lovecraftian suspense? Check. Let’s start out with Fall of Cthulhu…
Well friends, this week’s Doomino Effect is much like when your mother cleans your room and puts all your stuff in places where you can’t find it. I don’t know where my doominoes are and I don’t know where the comics I bought last week are either. So this week’s Doomino Effect is all from…
Understatement of the Week- Norman Osborn is “bipolar,” Thunderbolts #113 If by “bipolar” you mean “sometimes manipulatively evil, sometimes just batsh*# crazy,” then yes, I guess you could say that Norman Osborn is bipolar. But regardless of what you call it, it’s fun to watch. When the creative overhaul of Thunderbolts was announced a while…
Rising from the pages of Annihilation, Nova gets a fresh new series this week, and it just so happens to be the topic of this week’s Book of Doom, where you get four (or sometimes three or two) reviews for the price of one. Due to the Husker football spring game, I’ve been at work…
By Grant Morrison (W) and Frank Quitely (A) DC Comics, $19.99 Take a quick stroll around the comics blog-o-sphere. You’ll see plenty of variety, but if there’s a common theme, it’s the Review of the Goofy Old Comic. There are plenty of sites that rely entirely on making fun of the misadventures of Jimmy Olsen…
We’ve got an eventful week here in comicdom, with a couple of new books added to the pull list and a couple that are gettin’ the axe. Yep, it’s chopping time. So, who’s making the jump? Who’s taking a dive? Read on, my good sirs and madams… Seven: Wonder Woman #7 Heh, it’s fitting that…
If you haven’t seen it already, this image has been floating around the Internets for the past day or so. It’s the first look at Iron Man’s grey suit, as it will appear in the upcoming Jon Favreau directed feature film. Well, upcoming in over a year. But it’s coming! I, for one, would like…
By Harvey Pekar (W) and many others (A) Vertigo, $14.99 The Plot: By now, pretty much everyone knows about Harvey Pekar, the straight-talking, slice-of-life-telling, crusty persona of the comics industry. Let’s hope that, at the very least, most everyone has seen the great movie American Splendor. Since that came out a few years back, Pekar…
