Geektyrant has a rundown of some of the gossip surrounding Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, including a list of the robots in the film. Among the highlights: • Some of the Autobots are deliberately stupid and childlike, but that’s what the kids like, according to Michael Bay. I’m having a tough time imagining Autobots acting even…
Dark X-Men. Dammit Marvel! Namor, Cloak and Dagger, Daken, Angel or Icarus or Mimic or something with wings, Professor Xavier and Emma Frost (or someone with a similarly constructed … frame) and Omega the Unknown … well, probably not on that last one. Is the lady in black perhaps Adriana Frost? So they’re stealing the…
“Therefore Repent!” is one of the coolest books you’ve never read. Set in the midst of the end times in Chicago, it’s about a few things – how to deal with the rapture, and what exactly is going on. Why is George Bush making appearances with Jesus Christ, and why are armed angels patrolling the…
I’m responsible for the Book of Doom this week, and as all three of my regular titles came out last week, I’ll be venturing into somewhat new territory, here. While I was really curious about the comics adaptation of Pride & Prejudice, and while Doominator tried to vicariously spite my fellow Doomers and having me…
I don’t have the energy to make this an April Fool’s joke, as if someone would be so concerned as to what we’re buying that they’d want to get fooled about it. It’s presumptuous enough to post this as it is. With that said, let’s jump right in! Jim Doom: • Flash Rebirth #1 of…
I missed a few weeks, so this edition of the Doomino Effect is going to be jam-packed with weeks-old books, but I’ll put the new stuff first. I sat down to read last week’s comics at McDonald’s with DeLuise last Wednesday. We had just come from the shop with fresh comics in hand. I decided…
Sorry I dropped the ball last week, folks. Things have been confusing in Doominator land, between work, allergies and night classes, last Sunday ended up a catch-up day – and not, unfortunately, a Doomkopf one. So let’s start. Remember. You give me something to sum up in a sentence, to varying degrees of success and…
Plot itself: Cyclops’ elite force of murderers is hunting Cable and the messiah child through time. They land in a future with Deadpool and some sinking feelings. In the meantime, Bishop, the guy who came back to warn the X-Men of a traitor only to himself become a traitor, strikes a deal with an all-too-familiar…
Comic artist Bob Hall (Batman, Avengers) is having a gallery show on Friday, April 3 at the Project Room at 1410 O St. in Lincoln. Some of his comic book work from the nineties will be on display on Saturdays throughout April. Bob will be at the Project Room on First Friday at around 6:30…
So I may have snoozed my way through Stump the Doominator this week (it’ll be back next Sunday) but that doesn’t mean I’m skimping on the Book of Doom. The pickings were a little thin this week, and I refuse to read another Bat-book. But the second part of the Messiah trilogy is upon us,…
