I'd be interested in hearing what folks think of DC's Doomsday Clock, which brings the Watchmen characters together with the heroes of the DCU. At first I was wary of such a move, but I am a big fan of writer Geoff Johns and artist Gary Frank, so I am intrigued with what they have put together. Is it worth checking out once they issue a collected edition?
It looks beautiful and it has depth. I'm interested to see where they're taking things and how it all ties in the DCU (it supposedly takes place "a year in the future", as I understand it). AS of now, I'd say definitely check it out once it's collected.
ReplyDeleteDuring the Amalgam Age of Comics they would have been combined to be Doctor Strangehat.
ReplyDeleteDoctor Strange, Doctor Doom, Doctor Octopus, Doctor Fate, and Doctor Manhattan in "The Five Doctors"?
ReplyDeleteProbably, though you may have a long wait. The 12 issue miniseries is probably going to take at least 2 years to roll out at the current issue rate of 1 issue every 2-3 months
ReplyDeleteIt's worth checking out once it's available @ the local Public Library.

ReplyDeleteAnd Gene Simmons as Doctor Love! He's what you're Thinking Of They Call Him Doctor Love.
ReplyDeleteI know it's a controversial topic, but I t must be dealt with, the Doctor (Doctor Who) is Still NOT GINGER. I know I know it's absolutely shocking, but true.
ReplyDeleteThe new Doctor isn't even Maryanne.
ReplyDeleteIt depends on how many comic shops order the TP. The individual issues certainly didn't get purchased with any degree of enthusiasm by the ones I frequent. And having only read the one issues I did find (#3), I can well understand why!
ReplyDeleteCompletely (and unfortunately) unimpressive.
@Brother Barnes: Unless he changes his _name_ to Ginger! Especially if he moves to a deserted island with a professor, a millionaire, and his wife.
ReplyDeleteGinger in most of the english speaking world means redhead or carrot top (which is odd because carrot's tops are usually green.). On Doctor Who there are catch phrases, like but not limited to: Would you care for a Jellybaby?, Goodbye my friends Mwahahaha Goodbye Forever, and Still not ginger.
ReplyDeleteWell, at least the jelly babies (or "jellybeans," as we more correctly call them here in the States) were actually shown on multiple occasions.
ReplyDeleteTHE 4TH DOCTOR RULES!
Hey! That just gave me an idea: Doctor Who visits Gilligan's Island!
ReplyDeleteRoss could call it "In Search Of Ginger."
Jelly babies are not jellybeans! They were vaguely person-shaped, chewable like a modern gummy candy, and covered in powdered sugar.

What do you mean "were"?!? They still are: I buy an occasional bag of them myself.
@Simreeve & Dr. OTR: sounds more like a rip-off of gummy bears.

Wikipedia says that jelly babies date back to at least 1885, but that gummi bears were only invented in 1920.
Yeah, right. And James Norcross is the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
ReplyDelete--Perry Noid.
Gummi Bears Bouncing here and there and everywhere, without which Disney's Gargoyles would have never of existed. Wow it's like that British Show Connections Up in Here Up In Here UP in Here.
ReplyDeleteI thought Victor, Hugo, and Laverne had sole credit for inspiring that series?
ReplyDeleteNo, I think it was Bill Fane and Bob Kinger.
