I don’t know why, but I feel like doing a quick run-through of this month’s previews and giving my shoot-from-the-hip thoughts. As always, I reserve the chance to regret my actions later. And, I make no promises for this becoming a continuing feature. We’ll see. The numbers at the start of each section are the…
If you’re not already reading X-Factor, you should be. That’s why X-Factor #16 is this week’s Book of Doom, plain and simple. Stop by on Saturday to read our thoughts on the issue and share your own. X-Factor #16 Cover by: Pablo Raimondi Writer: Peter David Pencils: Pablo Raimondi Colored by: Brian Reber Lettered by:…
In lieu of my traditional Meaningless Awards of the Week, this week I’m singling out one man for his contributions to comics as of late. No one has done more to influence my love comics in the past five years than the current Marvel editor-in-chief, Joe Quesada. And for that, I’m not only presenting him…
Well the dust has settled (sort of) and we here at the Legion of Doom have had our say on Civil War. While opinions have varied as time passed from issue 1 to issue 7, four of us have chimed in over the past week on how the series wrapped up. Jean-Claude Van Doom wasn’t…
Civil War #7 was not good. Here’s why: 1) The final fight was disappointing. It didn’t seem like a major battle. It had its moments, and there was certainly some cool art, but for the most part it didn’t live up to the hype. You want specifics? a) I recognized everybody. If the Superhuman Registration…
This week’s issue “concludes” the Ralph Dibny/Helm of Fate storyline. Other than that, Renee Montoya sees her reflection sans a face. But, really, the main thing we’re here for is Dibny’s story, and it doesn’t disappoint. Much. Y’see, I’m somewhat torn over this conclusion. Having Felix Faust be the villain behind this entire Helmet of…
It’s Saturday and that means it’s Book of Doom time. This week it was The Brave and the Bold #1 by Mark Waid and George Perez. To be honest, I picked this book because nothing else looked worth picking. It was a week that did not lend itself to experimentation in my mind. I was…
Hello, my little rectangular friends with white dots, and welcome to this week’s Doomino Effect. I don’t think I did one last week, and I would look for my stack of last week’s comics if that ship hadn’t already sailed. But we are now on a new ship – a ship called this week –…
thanks to DVD Dude for the tip on this. Looks like Warner Brothers is planning Justice League: The Movie, according to Variety. While the article mentions the potential complications with the current relaunches of Batman and Superman on the big screen, it doesn’t answer the questions of whether or not the new film (which already…
I am not a long-time DC geek. I say that because I want it to be clear that I’m not approaching this topic with a sense of entitlement, that “I’ve been reading DC for 20 years so they damn well better not mess things up…” If anything, my recent conversion into a DC fan (starting…
