I just woke up earlier this afternoon, surrounded by empty bottles of beer, ashtrays full of cigarettes, and an assortment of strangers passed out in various places around my apartment. Seems I’ve been on a bender, of sorts, for the better part of the past week. I guess that’s what quitting your job does to…
Some weeks back, I posted this review of Undercard, a new self-published book written by Chris Gumprich and illustrated by Dennis Culver. Gumprich, who can be added to the list of creators who’ve encountered our site via Google, and Culver were nice enough to answer a few questions on the making of their book, which…
Really? This is what I choose to be thankful for on Thanksgiving? Well, yes (though my wife, my family, my dog and a million other things come before Mr. Brody on the list). In case you missed it, the first issue of Red Menace came out yesterday. It’s written by Brody (along with Paul DiMeo…
Hey, everybody, it’s my birthday! What better way to celebrate than finishing up my review of “52” in a timely manner and then getting completely slammified at the bars? I can’t think of a thing! So, that said, what happened this week, and, more importantly, how was it? Glad you asked. This issue focuses primarily…
The good folks at Boom Studios were nice enough to send along an advance copy of Talent #4. While I don’t have interior art to offer, I can say this book seems to finally be coming through on its great potential, though I’m not sure how much of a future the title has. Confused? I’ll…
Welcome to the latest recurring feature on Legion of Doom that I’ll inevitable give up on after a couple of weeks: the Meaningless Awards of the Week! Maybe I’ll actually stick this one since I can do however many or few I want depending on the quality of books that week. This week, I’m handing…
Three stinking books this week. That’s it. Of course, this means my wallet is a little heavier (although it’s not, since we’ve evolved to a cash-less society. How can the future be dystopian if commerce is such a breeze? Orwell, you’re full of shit!) so I shouldn’t complain. I can’t reveal my thoughts on Astro…
We’ve discussed Heroes quite a bit here on Legion of Doom. Doom DeLuise and his brother hate it. I really like it. Jean-Claude Van Doom also seems to enjoy it a lot. I know Colonel Doom watches it, but I don’t think he has a strong opinion either way. And I’m pretty sure Jim Doom…
Aside from an incredibly decent cover and a neat splash page featuring Batwoman laying the smacketh down on some Intergang thugs, this week’s issue is surprisingly dull. For the sake of ritual, though, let’s address what actually happens this week, and I’ll tell you why it sucks so much. First off, we find Renee Montoya…
It’s Wednesday, and we all know what that means. So, while you’re at your local comic shop, picking up the latest and greatest today, do yourself a favor and pick up “Astro City: The Dark Age Book 2 #1,” the first issue in the second story-arc of this Wildstorm property. Then, come back here on…
