Hey, remember how Doc Ock used to bang May Parker back in the ’70s? Well now Otto Octavious has all the memories of Peter Parker. So May Parker is essentially his mom. Did Marvel just retcon incest into Spider-Man’s history?
[SFX: Intro music] JIM DOOM: Hello and welcome to the latest Podcast of Doom. I’m your host, Jim Doom, and with me, as is frequently the case –- DOOM DeLUISE: Always the case. JIM DOOM: — is Doom DeLuise. [SFX: Intro music fade out] JIM DOOM: Today on the Podcast of Doom, we’re going to…
The first issue of the post-Brubaker run on Captain America came out this week. As Doom DeLuise wrote, and I agreed with, Ed Brubaker made Captain America cool again. So who’s the creative team on the relaunch? Rick Remender (don’t know him), John Romita, Jr. (not a fan) and Klaus Janson (I dig him!). It…
Captain America sucks. It’s true. He’s a boring character from a bygone era. If he were in the DC Universe, he’d be a member of the Justice Society, pushed to the fringe where he belongs, a reminder of where superheroes came from but not much good for anything else. He punched Hitler on the jaw…
[SFX: Intro music] JIM DOOM: Hello and welcome to the latest Podcast of Doom. I’m your host, Jim Doom, and with me as always, or at least most of the time — DOOM DeLUISE: Always. JIM DOOM: — is Doom DeLuise. [SFX: Intro music fade out] So 24 Hour Comics is coming up in one…

Doom DeLuise and Jim Doom mentioned in their podcast a few weeks ago that they had not read All-Star Western from the New 52. Well I have read every issue to date, so I feel I have an obligation to tell you folks how it is. So here goes nothin’. I’ll start off by explaining…
It’s been a while since we’ve done one of these Books of Doom, but it seemed appropriate, given that the first chapters of the previous massive Green Lantern crossovers — Sinestro Corps #1 back in June of 2007 and Blackest Night #0 from May of 2009 — were both also Book of Doom-style reviews. So…
“The Panic at the North Pole!” A note from glancing at the beginning of this issue: 15 out of the 22 sentences in the opening 2 pages end with an exclamation point. Hopefully that drives home to you how hard they were trying (very hard) in these precious first issues of GI JOE to deliver…
DOOM DELUISE: So, it’s been awhile since The Amazing Spider-Man came out, and we keep coming up with excuses to put off our review, but I think the day has finally come to throw down our opinions on it. I thought the special effects are great in this thing, better than they have been in…
