I’m sick. This sucked. Take ‘er away, boys. Doom Fritter: If the recession has hit, nobody told Marvel or DC. They keep pumping out more and more titles with little regard to the cropped and controlled distribution of the early decade. I mean, honestly, good for them. They’re apparently doing very well at the moment….
Andy Diggle just confirmed on twitter what had been rumored since Joe Quesada accidentally slipped last week — Diggle will take over Daredevil with the renumbered issue #501. I have mixed feelings on this. The only Diggle work I’ve ever read was Green Arrow: Year One, and while it started strong, I ended up hating it….
[SFX: Intro Music] DOOM DELUISE: Hello and welcome to the latest Podcast of Doom. I’m your co-host Doom DeLuise, and with me as usual is my fellow co-host Jim Doom. What’s on your mind, Jimmy? Can I call you Jimmy? JIM DOOM: So I don’t know about you, but I’ve been on a steady course…
Jeffrey Brown inhabits that corner of comics that goes straight for the life tales, eschewing spandex for flannel, and never settling into the overwrought. In books like “Unlikely” and “Clumsy,” he showed a warts-and-all sentimentality about relationships. His writing and art have matured over the years since he started, and it’s obvious in seeing his…
After being one of the (few) shining moments as The Comedian in Watchmen, Jeffery Dean Morgan is looking to capitalize on his newly minted fame. So how do you follow up a revered Vertigo adaptation? Why, with another revered Vertigo adaptation, natch. According to a tweet by Andy Diggle, Morgan is “a lock” for The Losers movie, which starts filming this summer.
So you’ve seen the Watchmen movie, and maybe you liked it, and maybe you’ve read the graphic novel, and you surely liked that. But where do we go from here? DC is certainly on the ball with their “After Watchmen” recommendations, offering up a plethora of choices to suit your fancy. Whether you liked the superheroes, the mature take on the genre, the doomsday scenario, or the political atmosphere, there are a lot of books out there to keep up the pace.
This week I’m going to recommend DMZ, by Brian Wood and Ricardo Burchielli
Hey, remember Azrael? Sure ya do. He took over as Batman for a little while in the 90s, then he got his own series and eventually died. But now he’s back. Or is he? My choice for this week’s Book of Doom is the first issue in this three-part miniseries, where we’ll find out if…
Doominator: So, Doom, we recently perfectly legally watched the direct to DVD Wonder Woman movie. I find myself with a few words swimming in my head. Doom DeLuise: Felony? Doominator: None of them are “Oscar.” Felony works, but this wasn’t quite a crime against humanity. It didn’t try hard enough. It didn’t try at all…
… is not happening. Sorry! No one sent me questions. Shame, shame. If you want to send some for next week, send them on to doominator_at_doomkopf_dot_com. So instead, I just want to disagree with most people on the board and say I liked the Watchmen movie. For me, it highlighted something important: the inherent ridiculousness…
I’ve yet to write down any of my thoughts about the Watchmen movie, but one thing that I couldn’t help but thinking that night in the theater is “that’s a lot of penis.” I was first surprised that there was any dick at all, but then I was surprised by how much they put in…
