I’m generally trying to renew my enthusiasm about the whole “reading comic books” thing, but these recent news items made me groan and groan and groan some more! One of these names just doesn’t belong here. Rich Johnston reported that Cup O’ Joe at NYCC included news on “a major project from Marvel would feature…
Check it out. Doomkopf will have some representation. The discussion will apparently be recorded and released as a podcast. I’ll try to get a transcript up once that happens. UPDATE: I made some comment about wanting to remove Tony Daniel’s scrotum and keep it for myself so I could punch it whenever I want, so…
So funny thing happened — I was doing this weekly comic review called “The Doomino Effect” and then I stopped doing it for like two years. Speaking of looking back at the past, that leads me to Action Comics #1 by Grant Morrison and Rags Morales. Like Justice League #1, this story seems to be…
continued from part 1. JIM DOOM: I will go through this 52 preview book, say the books that are coming out, and we say if we think we’ll give them a try or not. DOOM DeLUISE: Ok, I’ll play that game. JIM DOOM: And I should mention, for anyone listening in the Omaha area, that…
JIM DOOM: Well, Doom DeLuise, welcome back. It’s been a while since our last podcast. [silence] I actually didn’t even test out these microphones to see if they still work. Is mine working? I said is mine working? Is mine working? Doom DeLuise? Is my microphone working? Hey. Hey? Is my microphone working? It’s been…
JIM DOOM: Hey, let’s finish reviewing Captain America. DOOM DELUISE: I need to find [our first attempt at our review] so I can get caught up. I forget what I was having a hard time explaining. JIM DOOM: Or we could just move on to talking about specific things and you can build a segue…
Yesterday, Warner Brothers has released an official sneak peak of Henry Cavill in the Superman costume from the upcoming Superman: Man of Steel movie: While Cavill himself certainly looks more like Superman than the last few people I can remember in the role, I’ve got to wonder… Why does Superman need to wear rubber? It…
Today was what I would characterize as a slow day for new comics. There were only two titles in my pull list this week (Invincible Iron Man and The Walking Dead), and I picked up another I was on the fence about (Daredevil) and one I didn’t know was even coming out (War of the…
Comic Con is fast approaching, and news is already starting to leak out a bit early. One of the things that has happened in the past couple days is that the teaser trailers for both “The Amazing Spider-Man” and “The Avengers” have leaked online. The Internet Police are on top of it, though, so it’s…
I hated Transformers 2 so much I blogged about it twice. But I was still determined to see Transformers 3. After seeing it last night, I have to say that it’s probably my favorite of the series. But it was still awful. I’ll start with the good, because there was quite a bit that I…
