Or - “This Just In: Former Captain America Steve Rogers Is Still Dead…”
“…even though all appearances point to the contrary.” I was having a discussion with Tom Grice (Who is still WRONG, sir! WRONG! ) recently, regarding changes to our comic book purchasing habits, during which we both realized that we were slowly dropping a lot of titles that were “just plain superhero books.” I gave up on both New Warriors and Thunderbolts in recent months, and Tom had found himself culling hero books, but keeping titles like Scalped, Hellblazer, and other stories off the beaten path. When talk turned to Brubaker’s work on Captain America, we both agreed that “The Death of Captain America” has been less superhero book than spy thriller with elements of classical romance and soap opera, and that precise fact is what makes the book so enjoyable.

One of the best comics going around at the moment is Wolverine First Class. It is a telling of how the close relationship that Kitty and Logan have evolved, from Kitty’s first days at the Xavier School. It’s funny, it’s cute, and above all, it gives you the insight in to their relationship it promises.
However the sales are not justifying its quality, with only 22,000 sold for issue 3. It’s a pity, because it is a book I want to continue reading.
For those that like the behind the scenes stuff, here’s a news story that features the controversy, the creators, and yes, Italian Spiderman.
Seriously, I think we need to get a cadre of Major Spoilers Hotties. Any takers?

Radical Publishing has sent Major Spoilers the cover images and solicitation information for titles arriving in September 2008.
One of the best comic series of the past decade or more is, undoubtedly, Astonishing X-Men, by Joss Whedon and penciled by John Cassaday. Together they created one of the most comprehensive, cohesive and controlled pieces of comic literature we’ve seen in a long time. Whedon’s story was breathtaking, and Cassiday’s art was better.
So let’s see how long it takes before it all comes crashing down. Why? Because Warren Ellis and Simone Bianchi are now on the book and they aren’t no Whedon and Cassaday.
Image Comics has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of titles arriving next week. Take the jump for Strange Cases #4, The Unearthed Cemetery Blues TPB, and Wildguard: Insider #3.
Today is a day to celebrate - Major Spoilers turns two years old! The last year has been a roller coaster of a ride with the addition of a little Major Spoilers-ite joining the family, legal wrangling with some poo-poo heads, the temporary hiatus of the site, and the huge return with more reviews, news, and a brand new podcast.
It’s been one hell of a year, and I have YOU to thank for it.

One of my favorite all time movies is being remade. Not sure I like what I’m seeing.
Some rough language in here, so if you are at work, you might want to put the earphones on.
If you missed out on the very cool battle between Invincible and Cecil, you missed out on a great landmark, oversized issue. Image has announced the issue sold out at the distributor level and will be going back to print with a variant black and white cover.
“Fans sure do love it when the book hits the fan,” said Kirkman. “Issue fifty altered the series in a way we haven’t seen since Omni-Man’s true nature was revealed and people have really taken notice. I think a lot of people will be even more surprised by what’s next.”
