The Duke and Duchess of Boswick cordially invite you to a gala event in their new mansion located in North Korea. There will plenty of entertainment (mostly at your expense, for the benefit of the Boswicks) and things to eat (most likely the Boswicks, eating parts of you). So don your finest outfits (the Boswicks enjoy the beautiful things in life) and let us have some fun (it will be the Boswicks having their depraved, twisted fun at your expense)!

DCOCD is the DC Comics events podcast, where we look at every DC event in chronological order from Crisis on Infinite Earths to... we're not quite sure yet.
It's 2013 and villains are getting their villain on and things have taken a dark turn in the DC universe. It's not just occasional evil, but full-on FOREVER EVIL (temporarily)! It's the biggest event of the New 52, from the talents of Geoff Johns, David Finch, Richard Friend, Rob Leigh, Sonia Oback and Brian Cunningham.
Paul and Mike are joined by Michael Bailey to discuss, dissect and score this one.

Everything suddenly starts over and it’s a complete (partial) reboot with a clean slate of uncertain continuity as the DC starts over in 2011 with NEW 52. It’s the publishing plan that walked like an event!
It’s brought to you by everyone at DC at the time, until many quit in a huff.
Paul with special guests Herman Loew and Grant Richter try and make sense of this confusing 5 years in ntheir comic-reading lives. How will they rate NEW 52? Tune in and find out!

Waiting for Doom was created in late 2014 after 2 obsessive Doom Patrol fans realised (possibly incorrectly) that the world needed more discussion regarding their all time favourite superhero team. Specifically, from the two of them. Egos, am I right?Some helpful starting points for you:
Mike lives in Brisbane, and has had an on-again, off-again love affair with comics for 95% of his life. Paul lives in Laggan and tempers his encyclopedic knowledge of comics creators, and DC Comics in general, with biting sarcasm. Both of them fear the arrival of the Beardhunter, given their combined facial hair. Waiting For Doom would also not be possible without the support of our fellow Doom Bros: Jeames aka Rifty who provides technical support; and Doug Zawisza, who provides additional Doom Patrol history and commentary both here and on his own site, mygreatestadventure80.blogspot.com . Mike and Paul have the reluctant support of WilFreD, the sentient show Twitter account which gained self-awareness in early 2015. WilFreD lurks around this site so be careful of participating in inflammatory anti-AI sentiments lest we all suffer his wrath. |
