Now that the first issue of the new miniseries Batman: Battle for the Cowl is out, I’d say that it’s high time we started kicking up the speculation on who will be wearing the cape and cowl by the end of this thing. People have been guessing at the answer since it was first announced…
There’s been a lot of content going up in the last 24 hours (don’t miss the quickly bumped Watchmen review) and there’s still more coming (Book of Doom preview), so I’m going to keep this brief. • Daredevil #116, Return of the King part 1 – great introduction to the new arc. I wish I…
One year for Christmas, I got my niece the book “Coraline” by Neil Gaiman, in an attempt to turn her into a total dork. It paid off, and quickly, she was enamored with Neil Gaiman, so I gave her a Sandman volume and my copy of Neverwhere. Not sure if she ever read those, but…
Since 2005, Julia Wertz has been writing the autobiographical, misanthropic strip known as The Fart Party. But recently, she released I Saw You …, an anthology of comics based on real life missed connections from Craigslist and other sources. Funny, sad, creepy and just weird, the anthology assembles works by knowns and unknowns, including the…
JIM DOOM: So did you see Watchmen yet? DOOM DeLUISE: Yes I did. JIM DOOM: I read Sunday morning that it had a three-day opening of $55.7 million. How do they know that on Sunday morning?

Welcome one and all to this week’s edition of Stump the Doominator, brought to you this week by a nasty Yuengling hangover and a sinking feeling inside me. Remember the fun of it all – you ask me a question, and in varying degrees of accuracy and a solid state of flipancy, I try to…
Of course you knew that, you’re a total nerd. So we’ll see whose right … is it Jim Doom or Alan Moore, a la this cartoon, found at The Ephemerist? We’ll see. Do I smell a roundtable or Podcast of Doom?
This is what Guardians of the Galaxy has been building up to. I love me some Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning and Paul Pelletier. As for the rest, I’ll let the solicitation do the talking. WRITER: DAN ABNETT ANDY LANNING PENCILS: PAUL PELLETIER In the aftermath of the Secret Invasion, Black Bolt has led the Inhumans…
Salon had an interesting piece today on Swamp Thing and Alan Moore’s politics in the midst of so much Reagan. It can be found here. While nothing staggeringly ground breaking, it does make a lot of connections to attempted counter-culture movements of the time: It’s been said that Moore was ahead of his time by…
