A few months back, I wrote about the debut of DC Comics’ Minx line and the first books. One of those, The PLAIN Janes, I raved about. Recently, I had the luck to talk to the book’s author, Cecil Castellucci, about her first graphic novel, her love of comics and plans for new books. Jean-Claude…
We’re a little late on this one, because I didn’t realize it was my week until Wednesday night. So instead of picking ahead of time what we’d all experiment with, it instead became a game of “What did we all buy?” Booster Gold #1 would have been a nice Book of Doom, but Jean-Claude Van…
Let me just tell you, the Time Away From Comics is not going so great. My life hasn’t fallen into a complete pile of dog poo or anything (lots of job interviews and looking at apartments), but I just flat out miss comic books. I’ve read plenty of blog posts about how it doesn’t really…
So that Fin Fang Doom’s tribute to the late Mike Wieringo could stay up a little longer, this week’s Doomino Effect is a little bit late. But now, it’s time. Speaking of being a little bit late, I’ll start with Fallen Son: The Death of Captain America – Iron Man, the fifth and final chapter…
Mike Wieringo was one of the first comics creators I ever became a fan of. He was one of the first guys whose stuff I liked so much I’d follow him to a new book without hesitation. Sensational Spider-Man to Tellos to Fantastic Four and back to Spider-Man again, I’m a happier person having ejoyed…
Confirmation of the Week- Black Adam’s still a badass, Black Adam #1 Writer Peter Tomasi showed us this week that despite getting his powers taken away by Captain Marvel (and despite his lackluster appearance in Countdown), Teth-Adam is still a frickin’ badass. First, we see Adam ordering his loyal followers to pummel him for two…
I’m not really sure what to say about Black Adam anymore. When we saw him last in 52, he was a faceless drifter, alone and seething with anger over the deaths of his brother and wife. During World War III, he was unable to hold those responsible fully accountable for their actions. He was stripped…
[SFX: Podcast of Doom theme music] DOOM DELUISE: Hello, and welcome to the Legion of Doom’s latest installment of the Podcast of Doom. Welcome to the show. I am your co-host, Doom DeLuise, and this week, we’ve decided to do a very special podcast focused strictly on “Countdown.” Please give a very hearty welcome to…
Remember back when Black Adam was the baddest man alive? Public Enemy #1? The cause of World War III? Well, so do I. This new mini-series is supposedly going to fill in the gap between the last time we saw a very angry, hell-bent on revenge, de-powered Teth-Adam in Week Fifty-Two of 52, and when…
Hello my little white dots on black fields, and welcome to this week’s Doomino Effect. This week was the first week at my new comic book shop. Last year, I had to find a new comic book shop, and the winner of that search was a great store that I really liked shopping at. Unfortunately,…
