So…Batman’s dead. Kinda. During DC Comics’ recent Final Crisis crossover, Batman breaks his “no guns” rule and shoots Darkseid, using some kind of “god-killing” bullet. (don’t ask me, it doesn’t make much sense) As Darkseid dies, he fires his Omega Sanction beams from his eyes and apparently kills Batman. Well, until two weeks later, when […]
…because The Darkness #75 from Top Cow/Image comics kicked my @$$. This book is the absolute PERFECT comic book. I have less than zero negative things to say about it. What’s that you say? What’s the Darkness? For shame, my friend. For shame. The Darkness tells the tale of Jackie Estacado, mob hitman and all-around […]
I’m not really sure what I think about this. Dean Trippe, the creator of Project Rooftop, and artist Evan Bryce bring us President Awesome, a web comic. This weekly series will faithfully satirize the 44th President of the United States as he preserves, protects, and defends the Constitution of the United States to the best […]
Wil Wheaton was lucky enough to sit in on an advance screening of Zack Snyder’s upcoming film realization of Moore and Gibbons’ Cold War masterpiece, Watchmen. Over on his own blog, Wheaton ends the suspense: It’s the best movie inspired by a graphic novel that I’ve ever seen. It could have gone wrong in a […]
Dig this original piece, Ciphers, featuring The Spirit, Rorschach, and The Question. I always knew Superman was a Christ-figure, but was surprised to learn he’s a Methodist. The world is lousy with Catholic heroes, but where are the Episcopal superheroes? Could be maybe… Batman? You know you’ve been asking, “Who is Daniel?” Levar Burton jumps […]
In 1977, Black Lightning appeared in Black Lightning #1 becoming the first African American character to headline his own book at DC Comics. His stomping grounds were the slums of Metropolis. While Superman fought his battles high in the skies, Black Lightning was beating down the badguys in the streets. High school principal by day, […]
I have been giggling about ROLCATS all day long. It combines my two favorite things: Eastern bloc humor and pretty kitties! Thanks to Richard for the link!
I’m still waiting on word from my last edition of “What the heck,” in which I try to seek out information on the new Skulduggery Pleasant book. While we wait for word back on that one, though, I have a new question for you… What the heck, Ardden Entertainment? If you don’t know who Ardden […]
In keeping with the theme of Black History Month, we here at Ideology of Madness are proud to dig into the long boxes and share the most interesting and notable black comic book characters. There is a rich history to be explored here, to be honored. We’ll be doing that right here through out the […]
We have a winner! The winner of the Batman: Private Casebook Give-A-Way is….(drum roll please)…well, dammit, since we’re all a little kooky here are IoM, I think we’ll just go ahead and draw TWO names out of the hat…what say you? Congratulations to Noble Bear and Grungydan, the two winners of a brand new BATMAN: […]
