Jim Doom: • Captain America #47 – Part 1 of “Oral Pleasure.” • Green Lantern #38 – It will probably be crap because the story has to get trimmed to make room for a pointless Origins & Omens story. • Incredible Hercules #126 – It’s the Book of Doom! I’m pretty curious about this. Doom Fritter…
In this episode: Mysterius the Unfathomable #2 | Johnny Monster #1 | Guardians of the Galaxy #10 Speaking of Guardians of the Galaxy #10, this was definitely my least favorite of the series so far. I have been a huge fan of the writing in this book, but the attempts at snappy dialogue were downright…
I mentioned, not long ago, my unexpected love for The Incredible Hercules, and along with it I mentioned that I probably won’t be able to actually convince anybody to pick it up, so what better way to force people to read something than by making it my pick for this week’s Book of Doom.
He was a big part of making The Sinestro Corps as great as it was. He’s half of the creative team restoring Barry Allen to the DC Universe. He’s also writing a regular column for Newsarama. And now Ethan Van Scriver has taken some time out of his schedule to participate in Doomkopf’s Decem Quaesiti…
This feature – where I try to sum up a complicated storyline or storylife in one sentence – is still fairly new. But Stump the Doominator submissions this week were … scant. Really scant. In fact, three of these are Doom DeLuise questions. We’ll start with those: Explain Hypertime. Hypertime is Mark Waid being an…
So, I learned something very important. Don’t try new things. Ever. You’ll get burnt and disappointed, and your friends will think less of you. That is, at least, what I surmised from the reactions to Johnny Monster #1. In my own views, the issue was certainly not good. It was kind of fun – you…
Interesting article today on Graphic Fiction, a blog by Van Jensen, about a pitch he submitted to Marvel regarding a potential Wolverine story he came up with a few months ago. Long time readers probably remember Van as former Doomkopf contributor “Jean-Claude Van Doom.” Apparently, his pitch has recently popped up in Marvel’s May solicitations,…
It’s been awhile since Fin Fang Doom has regularly reviewed Trinity, and, since he initially claimed he was going to be reviewing every issue until the very end, I figure that somebody should step in to pick up the slack, since he went off and made friends and started neglecting his promise to you, our…
I only bought four issues this week, and, yet, I’m still torn over what to pick for the worst issue and what to pick for the best. That’s right, it’s an even split. Two issues that stunk so bad I could barely stand to finish them and two that left me pretty well satisfied. When…
For my pick for Book of Doom this week, I’m ending the backwards hegemony of Nightwing idolatry and DC obsession perpetrated by Jim Doom and Doom DeLuise, and going with the one with the dinosaur on the cover: Johnny Monster #1, first issue in the Image Comics mini-series. Johnny Monster is the world’s foremost super-star…
