Doom Patrol #7
February 3rd, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton
Keith Giffen keeps throwing ideas at the wall, but I'm not sure any of them are going to stick.
Doom Patrol #6
January 8th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza
Following the "Blackest Night" issues is no easy task, so Giffen, Clark, and crew decide to reflect on what was. This isn't your standard navel-gazing though. It's navel-gazing, "Doom Patrol" style.
Showcase Presents: Ambush Bug Vol. 1
December 30th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
A great value for some great comics. Plus, Ambush Bug is kind of hilarious.
The Authority: The Lost Year #4
December 17th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
A few fantastic pages at the end can’t make up for the boring issue that precedes it, as this is a textbook example of going through the motions storytelling.
Magog #4
December 11th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
What happens when you take a character that embodies all that’s bad about superhero comics in the ‘90s and give him his own book? It’s bad. Surprise!
Doom Patrol #5
December 11th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
"Blackest Night" continues here with the "resurrected" Doom Patrollers raising hell on Oolong Island. In the backup tale, the Metal Men take on artificially intelligent mannequins, the Clique.
The Authority: The Lost Year #3
November 22nd, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
A mediocre, average comic book that must compete with a never completed comic that had the potential to be great. The comparison is not kind.
Doom Patrol #4
November 4th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Doom Patrol" has its least amount of gloom yet. . . just in time for "Blackest Night." No, that wasn't a joke.
Ambush Bug: Year None #7
October 31st, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Issue #7 in this 6-part series is a disjointed disappointment.
Doom Patrol #3
October 13th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
BOTH stories are worth reading in this issue.
Doom Patrol #2
September 10th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Doom Patrol" has nice ideas but still isn't quite clicking. On the bright side, the Metal Men second feature is still fun.
Magog #1
September 2nd, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
"Magog" springs from the pages of "Justice Society of America" to his very own monthly series. Carnage and mayhem abound –- specifically in the first eight pages!
Doom Patrol #1
August 6th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
The all-new Doom Patrol hit the shelves and one of the members checks out. Why the Doom Patrol? "'Challengers of the Unknown'" was already taken," says Robotman.
Booster Gold #20
May 17th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Booster Gold" seems determined to shed more sales figures with a dull and slightly pointless fill-in.
Reign in Hell #8
February 27th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
The "Reign in Hell" is over for more than one contestant. Parting contestants receive a lifetime supply of brimstone and agony.
Hero Squared: Love and Death #1
February 3rd, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
"Hero Squared" returns to Boom! for a final (?) series. If you haven't read "Hero Squared" before, this might be a good hopping on point.
Ambush Bug: Year None #5
December 15th, 2008 | By Benjamin Birdie
Ambush Bug turns on Dan DiDio and hilarity ensues. Modern production values might lose some of the original series' charm, but this one is still a laugh riot.
Ambush Bug: Year None #4
November 23rd, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
Giffen and Fleming continue to bring the funny.
Ambush Bug: Year None #2
August 29th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
It's great to see Giffen drawing the irreverent Ambush Bug again, but this issue's not all that funny.
King-Size Spider-Man Summer Special #1
August 17th, 2008 | By Doug Zawisza
The opening page says it all, "Warning! The following stories did not really happen! ( . . . unless you just want to read a few fun stories. Then these count.)"
Reign in Hell #1
August 3rd, 2008 | By Greg McElhatton
Keith Giffen's "Reign in Hell" brings to mind mid-'90s Vertigo mini-series, but not in a good way.
Ambush Bug: Year None #1
July 23rd, 2008 | By Doug Zawisza
Ambush Bug returns in all his glory, and Keith Giffen's got a whole new status quo in the DC Universe to play with.
DC/Wildstorm Dreamwar #3
June 20th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
What's the point of this series? I don't know, but at least it gives Keith Giffen a chance to have some fun.
Countdown to Final Crisis #1
April 23rd, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
After 52 weeks, it all comes down to this.
Last Defenders #2
April 10th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
"The Defenders" works best when it doesn't take itself too seriously, something Casey and Giffen seem to understand.
The Last Defenders #1
March 29th, 2008 | By James Hunt
Nighthawk joins The Initiative and gets The Defenders together for another stab at success. Will the team stick together this time? Joe Casey has some ideas, but a fairly good start to the series is tarnished by a lack of obvious direction.
The Last Defenders #1
March 12th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
"The Last Defenders" reinvents the classic Marvel team as the New Jersey chapter of the 50 State Initiative. With a wry sense of humor and respect for the team's history, Joe Casey and Keith Giffen create something different and entertaini
