As you should know, Captain America: The Chosen is our Book of Doom this week. If you remember, it was also the series that we here at Doomkopf brought you an exclusive announcement about a few months ago. Now, I’m pleased to bring you another exclusive — interviews with series artist Mitch Breitweiser. Below is…
Last week wasn’t a very good week for comics. I only bought three from Marvel, three from DC (one of which was actually from the week before), two from Image and one from IDW. Countdown didn’t get shipped to my local comic book shop, and said LCS didn’t order any of this week’s Book of…
You may recall, back in June, when Jean-Claude Van Doom broke the news of Captain America – The Chosen. And now, nearly three months later, issue #1 is this week’s Book of Doom. As the original news and the following solicitation suggest, Captain America will apparently return, as this series is about his future demise….
In honor of comics being delayed a day thanks to Labor Day, so too is the Doomino Effect a day later than usual. No one can accuse Jim Doom of not being sentimental. And speaking of sentimental, that leads me to Action Comics #855, which continues Geoff Johns’ best attempt at enabling Richard Donner to…
[SFX: Podcast of Doom theme music] DOOM DELUISE: Hello, everybody. Welcome to a very special Book of Doom installment. This week, I foolishly forgot to post a preview for this weekend’s Book of Doom, so hopefully you had a chance to pick up the topic of this week’s dicussion, “The Mice Templar #1.” Joining me…
I’m back, dear readers. After finding a job and getting settled in the ATL, I made my first trip to a comic shop in more than a month (quick shout to Odin’s Cosmic Bookshelf). Honestly, I was surprised more than anything by the sheer number of comics I really didn’t care to read. The only…
If you’re anything like I was last week, you were unable to recognize obscure forearms. You needn’t worry, though, because, this week, we see the exact big-bad guy that was threatening the Palmerverse perusers last week, and, lo-and-behold, it wasn’t a guy, afterall. It was some big-bad woman, yet she doesn’t seem threatening in the…
Not sure how many of our crowd here have read the Pulitzer Prize-winning exploits of Ignatius J. Reilly, but I was reading the book the other day and came across a section that had surprising relevance to the world of comic books. While recommending reading to a terrified passerby, the crazed Reilly suggests mostly Medieval…
Well, I’ve been arguing about how the 14th Amendment and the Equal Protection Clause applies to Somali refugees over on a pro wrestling message board, so what better motivation could there be to compose this week’s highly anticipated Doomino Effect?! Speaking of high anticipation, I sure was eager to read Countdown #36 this week, after…
Never mind two slow issues. Give me even the hint of a Tony Stark ass-whooping and I’m sold. Huh, maybe Marvel knew what they were doing with Civil War after all…
