Breaking News:
Zack Snyder to Ruin Next Superman Movie

Deadline.com reported earlier tonight that Warner Bros. has chosen terrible director Zack Snyder to ruin the next installment in the Superman movie franchise. After weeks of speculation that a talented director such as Christopher Nolan or Darren Aronofsky could potentially helm the picture, the film studio decided to go with a director known for making…



24 Hour Comics Day Happened

Hopefully within the next few days, we’ll be sharing the comics created by Fin Fang Doom, Doom DeLuise, Doominator and me. We all four participated this year at Krypton Comics, and we all four conquered the day.



Kevin Bacon: The Greatest Threat This Planet Knows

Doom DeLuise and I were talking the other night about the fact that Kevin Bacon is the new X-Men villain. After running down a (short) list, we settled on Mr. Sinister. This was not exactly a tacit endorsement. You see, the best reasoning we could trace back was to a particularly bad piece of cinema…



Without Long Comment: ‘Green Lantern’ Preview Images

Not in the “right” kind of creative for Doomkopf at this moment, but we might as well let our faithful readers get a sneak peek at the cover of an upcoming Entertainment Weekly. Lookin’ alright so far.



Batman R.I.P. won’t die

I picked up Batman #701 today. It’s part 1 of the Lost R.I.P. story, which maybe is going to explain the holes in R.I.P. (what was the ultimate betrayal after all?) or maybe it’ll just be another story. But what it very clearly is is yet another continuation of the Batman R.I.P. story. I remember…



Sad News: Harvey Pekar passes away at 70

It takes a lot of work to make a comic. But how much more work is it to make yourself into the comic, warts and all? That’s the career Harvey Pekar had – a filing clerk and friend of Robert Crumb’s who took his day-to-day life and turned himself into the non-hero of American Splendor,…



Thoughts from this week’s trip to the comic shop

I’ve been pretty apathetic about comics lately, even by this blog’s evolvingly negative standards. I’ve maintained a pretty firm boycott of all things $3.99, which means I’m missing out on almost everything new. I considered Super Soldier #1 and Shadowland #1, but a glance at both sold me on neither. A rush of nostalgia convinced…



New blog you should read

Generation D20. Regular stuff on comics. Videos and other multimedia content. They also have stuff on games and other geek / nerd / etc. culture. Check them out and spread the word.



Becoming the hero, and fleeing in terror OR why I won’t cosplay now or ever

Cross posted from my Tumblr Halloween, 1993. I’m nine-years-old, and hopelessly addicted to the X-Men. Yes, little has changed. But I decided that year that the best idea ever is to make my own X-Men costume. For some reason, at this time, there weren’t any or many cheap vinyl X-Men costumes at Wal-Mart or ShopKo….



First Look at the First Avenger

Over on Ain’t It Cool News, they’ve broken a story for the first time in probably two years that wasn’t first posted by Deadline Hollywood. And the funny thing is, they completely lucked into it! They originally reported that this was concept art drawn by a fan based off a description from a source on…
