For months now readers have witnessed the unimaginable and unthinkable as New Gods across the DCU have seemingly died, with Lightray’s death in COUNTDOWN the biggest of them all. Now, the…
It’s Monday afternoon and I still haven’t read any of my comics from last Wednesday. Okay, I read New Avengers since it was this week’s Book of Doom, but other than that I haven’t read a comic in well over a week. Instead, I’ve finished Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix and started…
h/t Derek Burgan Probably my favorite Rob Liefeld work in the past decade had been his embarrassing sputtering in the comments of Newsarama articles, but this takes the cake. Rob recently did an interview with OC Weekly for the story Youngblood at Heart, and knowing the hits they were sure to get, they decided to…
This week we chose Marvel’s Brian Michael Bendis flagship title, The New Avengers, for our roundtable review. I figured we’d be stirring up for a good blog slapfest, since Jim Doom is one of the biggest Bendis fans around, and Fin Fang Doom bleeds in his intestines just from reading a Bendis-penned comic. Me? Call…
A Pittsburgh man bought a Detective Comics #27 off a guy who found it in the attic. So basically, the guy is not only a nerd, but a rich nerd. So there’s that. But, like any story, good or bad, there’s some controversy around it. Another local comic store owner claims the same person tried…

Let’s dive into the pages of the recently released The Question: Zen and Violence for the answer. In case you’re unfamiliar, this collection brings back the run by Dennis O’Neil on the now recently deceased Vic Sage version of the Question. It starts with Vic as a crappy hero who gets his skull crushed, then…
DOOM DELUISE: I hate the nickname “Spidey.” JIM DOOM: Same here. If Spider-Man was my friend, I wouldn’t call him that. DOOM DELUISE: I’d call him Spider-Man. JIM DOOM: I might start to come up with nicknames after a while, but I definitely wouldn’t call him Spidey. It just sounds condescending and emasculating. DOOM DELUISE:…
She’s long been the super-powered, lasso-wielding harbinger of justice as Wonder Woman, and post-Crisis she created a secret identity and worked for the very government agency trying to track her down. Oh yeah, somewhere in there she tried her hand at masseuse. Now, a new identity for the princess of the Amazons. Exotic dancer, coming…
This week, I picked New Avengers for our Book of Doom. I guess I was skittish because most the new books we tried in the past ended up sucking. Had I gone with a new book, it would’ve been Simon Dark, the new effort by Steve Niles. After wading through the absolute atrocity that was…
