Meaningless Awards of the Week- 11/7/07
Best Color- Red…
I was cleaning out my office this morning and noticed that I hadn’t looked through the November issue of Previews yet. While scanning through Marvel Previews and saw the cover to Fantastic Four #553. Michael Turner bashing has almost gotten to the point where it’s too easy. The guy doesn’t even seem to be trying…
Mark Bagley, artist best known for his work on New Warriors in the ’90s and especially his run on Ultimate Spider-Man, is headed to DC, according to Newsarama: Newsarama has learned that long-time Marvel penciler Mark Bagley, whose current exclusive contract with the publisher reportedly expires at the end of this year, will move to…
Well, color me slightly impressed. For the second week in a row, it seems as if this series finally has a sense of direction and knows what it’s doing with itself. Is that direction headed in a way that will eventually pay off into an interesting series? I don’t know. I suppose I’ll give you…
First off, I misspoke, or miswrote, or just plain screwed up in my preview for this week’s Book of Doom. That gray-templed Superman is the Superman of the Kingdom Come universe, not Kal-L of Earth 2. But he is a sign of reviving a past storyline, and Justice Society of America #10 is the beginning…

Doom DeLuise mentioned it in his Countdown review this week, but nearly two years ago, Fin Fang Doom presented you dear Doomkopf readers with Crisis on Infinite Titles, his ambitious theory on the secret behind Infinite Crisis. Much of it turned out to be wrong, but in other ways, he was way ahead of his…
WARNING: What you are about to read is a semi-positive review of an issue of Countdown. This week, we finally get some explanation of this series. The explanation is nice, but, at the same time, the explanation is kind of a cop-out. We’ll get to that. The bulk of the issue features the Monitor that…
DOOM NOTE: By the time this week’s Doomino Effect rolls around, Halloween will be long gone. There’s enough to talk about with this book – and still a few hours left in the day – so here’s what will likely be a one-time only single issue review. I’m a big fan of short stories –…
