Every day here at Doom HQ we receive tons of tips from our readers about really cool stuff from the world of geek, as well as promotional materials for new films, comic books, collectibles, and much more. While we do our best to bring you as much of it as possible, we don’t always have enough geek manpower available to cover it all on a daily basis. But we hate the idea of all of this really cool stuff wasting away in our inbox. How could we NOT cover it? Hence why we’ve resurrected our long-defunct column Bits Of Doom, now rebranded and revamped as Doom Digest, a collection of easily digestible bits of news, videos, photos, and other goodies.
Today: Uniforms from Star Trek 2, the Star Trek TV Captains together for the first time, international trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man and its stars at the MTV Movie Awards, Johnny Depp rocking out with The Black Keys, and Wonder Woman as Joan Jett, plus Bits Of Doom.

DC Superheroines As The Runaways
Artist Cliff Chiang took some popular DC superheroines – Wonder Woman, Black Canary, Zatanna, and Batgirl, and reenvisioned them as members of the all-girl rock band The Runaways (one of my favorite bands of all time), with Wonder Woman as Joan Jett! Totally love the image, though I’m disappointed that there’s no Lita Ford.
