This news is a few days old, but, hey, gimme a break, I’ve been out of town. According to a (relatively) recent interview with MTV.com, M. Night Shyamalama-ding-dong is considering directing a follow-up to his 2000 movie “Unbreakable,” which starred Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson. Explains Shyamalan: I do love the [comic book movie]…
It’s Tuesday. It’s Doomino Effect time. Starting off this week is Guardians of the Galaxy #5, one of my favorite series in existence. I moaned last month about Secret Invasion crossing over into GotG, even though the series is so new. Well, the genius known only as “Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning” is managing to…
Rich Johnston reported a week ago that DC had recalled Action Comics #869 due to what was apparently an unacceptable depiction of Clark and Jonathan Kent drinking beers while leaning up against a fence down home on the farm. DC’s way of correcting this problem was to Photoshop some “SODA POP” labels on the bottles…
Best Issue- The Walking Dead #52 If you couldn’t tell by the cover, this issue features the return of Michonne, samurai sword in hand. But happily, that’s not the only return this issue. Rick and Carl have been on their own for several issues now, and while the stories have been very good (especially last…
In the lead: Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman take the fight to Morgaine Le Fey, Enigma and Despero, and are working better as a team than ever thanks to Le Fey’s merging spell. During the battle, Superman and Wonder Woman realize Enigma is the Antimatter Earth’s Riddler, and Batman notices that Despero isnt really Despero,…
JIM DOOM: The August sales figures were released yesterday, and regarding these new Trinity numbers, there are two things going on here. There’s the obvious drop-off in the number of readers who gave up on weekly comics, presumably due to Countdown’s awfulness. You have to get to week 36 of Countdown, which is past the…
I only bought two comics this week. Final Crisis: Revelations #2 picks up with The Spectre chasing down Renee “Question” Montoya, intending to inflict vengeance upon her for murder, which The Spectre concludes she has committed as the leader of the Order of the Stone. Montoya claims she’s innocent, as she has only infiltrated —…
Have you read about this? All-Star Batman and Robin #10 was supposed to ship this week, but DC apparently recalled it before it could hit the stands. Why was it recalled, you might ask? Because it dropped the f-bomb. The word was supposed to be masked by a dark black box, but when it hit…
In the lead: Enigma, Morgaine Le Fey and Despero are all making up in their secret castle HQ when the Trinity shows up unexpectedly. The story cuts to a flashback of the heroes figuring everything out, and then the two Trinities have a throwdown. Oh, and Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman brought along a few…
Starting off the reviews is Secret Six #1. I really got a kick out of this team back when it was Villains United in the pre-Infinite Crisis days, and I’m hoping this series will re-hook me on this cast of characters. We start off seeing that there’s a bad guy who lives in a box…
