This week, against my better judgment, I picked the Justice Society of America one-shot spin-off featuring Superman from Earth-22, better known as the Kingdom Come Superman. I say it’s against my better judgment, because I really didn’t like Kingdom Come all that much. The art is really stiff, and I’ve never found the story that…
• The November Artist Jam is today from noon to 6 p.m. at Krypton Comics in Omaha. • Jason from Legend Comics made his Book of Doom debut last week, and he’s with us again this week (and hopefully every week). This week’s “Featured 500,000 Comic of the Week” at the Legend online store is…
Last night’s “Tip or Wag” segment on the Colbert Report included some thoughts directed at Marvel Comics:
From Yahoo! Movies: Is it just me, or is Rorschach’s gravelly voice even worse than Batman’s? I’m still not impressed, even though it looks like they’re taking it very seriously. I hate slow-mo, and I hate CGI, and I hate wired-up stunts. Oh well. I’ll wait until the movie comes out to judge it harshly….

DOOM DELUISE: The only two times Nightwing is referenced in the future solicitations…
This week was one of my most unusual comic-buying experiences ever. Nothing that I buy on a monthly basis came out (unless you count the Final Crisis tie-in) but I still ended up with five books. I decided to give Ultimatum #1 a try, since I’ve heard it might end up destroying the Ultimate Universe….
I had a hard time deciding which comic to choose for this week’s Book of Doom. Mostly, I wanted to choose something I was planning on buying anyway, so as to tighten the belt and save a few extra bucks; yet, I’ve been following the storyline that’s been going through the JSA fairly closely, and…
Batman RIP, the epic tale of deconstructing the Batman, is nearing a close, and as we’re getting closer to the final issue, we’re starting to see hints at what might be coming next for the Caped Crusader and the other members of his Gotham City posse. About a month ago, I predicted that Dick Grayson…
