MG Doom vs. Manga ends in a no contest My fight with manga is now over after a rather dumb technicality on my part. I was pouring through lists of manga to try and come up with my own list of manga worth reading for someone like me. It turns out there is already a site that…
By Grant Morrison and Dave McKean 15th Anniversary Edition published in 2004 by DC Comics This won’t be a traditional Library of Doom review because I imagine at this point in human history, 20 years after its initial publication, there are probably few people interested in a traditional review of Arkham Asylum. Prior to last…
A fellow Doom, the Doctor to be precise, will be going to war this February in the DoomWar mini series. CBR has a interview with editor Axel Alonso and artist Scot Eaton about the project. To sum up Dr. Doom tried to kill T’Challa the Black Panther leading to him being gravely injured and his sister…
Despite all the helpful information I have received this week regarding manga I still can’t shake the feeling of being overwhelmed by it. Daryl Surat of Anime World Order has been a big help in explaining why I have had so many problems. Essentially the manga translated into English has been the type geared towards…

Welcome to the Doombin. I’m the newest member of the Doom staff, MG Doom. My goal here is basically to post bits of comics related news, information, and brief recommendations from what I am currently reading. It will be the proverbial dustbin of this and that as my comics interests are quite varied. This is…
I pick up Previews every month. I have probably only ordered a half dozen things from Previews in the past few years (and by ordering something from Previews, I mean telling my shop owner “Hey, I saw this is coming out. Can you order one for me?”) but I still read through the thing and…
To think, just one year ago, I was about ready to bite through my own arm, I was so wracked with nerves about the election. Good thing everything has worked out so well. Oh, wait, no, it hasn’t. That Obama hasn’t done a damned thing! What a loser! That was a joke. Here’s what we’re…
