Major Spoilers Question Of The Day: Boldly Going Edition
This week’s Major Spoilers Poll of the Week (WeekWeekWeekWeek) got me to thinking about Star Trek, specifically the old debate about whether Kirk’s ‘Cowboy Diplomacy’ is superior to Picard’s more d...
Major Spoilers Question Of The Day: Drink Lotsa Soder Edition
It’s an overworked cliché that every region has their own nomenclature for flavored, carbonated drinks, be it soda, pop, or even just a generic “coke.” No matter what you call it, though, it’s surprisin...
Retro Review: Charlton Premiere #2 (November 1967)
If you’ve every bought or sold old comics, or haunted the quarter bins of your local shop, you’ve probably bumped into many Charlton Comics. As the original printer of Captain Atom, the Question and others (as well...
Major Spoilers Question Of The Day: Live From New York Edition
One of the things I enjoy about my current work schedule is having my Saturdays off for family time, wrapping things up with some old-school comic book Retro Review goodness and Saturday Night Live. Cynics will tell you that t...
Major Spoilers Question Of The Day: Can’t Believe It’s Been 20 Years Edition
It was pointed out to me recently that it had been two decades since Brandon Lee, star of ‘The Crow’, had died in an on-set accident during the production of that movie, a revelation that knocked me back a couple of...
All-New Doop #1 Review
They call him Doop: his origins and provenance remain a mystery. To some a savior, to others a monster, he is spoken of in whispers as perhaps the most powerful mutant in the known universe. A mystery, wrapped in an enigma, d...
Major Spoilers Question Of The Day: Hated But Admired Edition
This week, thanks to ‘Zach On Film’, I was provided with my fourth opportunity to take in Francis Ford Coppola’s magnum opus, ‘Apocalypse Now’, a movie that I’ve never watched of my own accor...
Major Spoilers Question Of The Day: Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. Edition
As a general rule, I’m a little bit leery of comic book adaptations, having been burned more than once by the likes of Reb Brown’s Captain America and the (admittedly awesome but completely source-unfaithful) Japane...
Major Spoilers Question Of The Day: Best Of Times Past Edition
Having reached adulthood in the 1990s, I am required by law to adore certain films: ‘Clerks’, ‘Pulp Fiction’, and ‘Terminator 2′ among them. In addition to that Mount Rushmore of Clinton-era...
Major Spoilers Question Of The Day: Most Wanted Sequel Edition
Rumors swirl (as rumors are wont to do) in Hollywood that Disney is still planning a reboot/remake of their 1979 science fiction epic, ‘The Black Hole.’ As one of the vocal fans of that movie, I am torn by this pla...
Retro Review: Captain America #117 (September 1969)
You may have heard about this new movie, one that brings back the Star-Spangled Avenger, and introduces one of his longest-serving supporting cast-members to the cinematic Marvel U, but are you familiar with the story as it unf...
Major Spoilers Question Of The Day: Where You’d Survive The Longest Edition
There are a few unavoidable things in the universe: Death, taxes, Stephen loving Batman, and the fact that, if you bring up “reality television”, someone will go off on a tirade. To be fair, I share much of the sco...
Major Spoilers Question Of The Day: A Companion For The Zombie Apocalypse Edition
As is my wont on a Friday night, I decompressed by channel-surfing after the family went to bed, giving my ridiculous brain time to stop spinning like Diana Prince in a crisis. This time, I happened upon a screening of ‘...
Major Spoilers Question Of The Day: Powered By Hate Edition
Sometimes, no matter how upbeat you try to be, the day crushes your spirit under a bulldozer blade of annoyance, taking your good mood and smashing it to the pavement to build a carpark. Yesterday was one of those days, filled...
Major Spoilers Question Of The Day: They Just Didn’t Get It Edition
Last night, during some rare-ish downtime, I happened to bump into the original 1987 Robocop on cable, and was once again amazed at how good a movie it actually is. Peter Weller delivers a powerful, understated performance, th...
Major Spoilers Question Of The Day: Best Final Episode Ever Edition
As followers of the Major Spoilers Podcast will tell you, your humble MS-QOTD is still a bit broken up over the events of the final episode of ‘How I Met Your Mother’ earlier in the week. As finales go, it went far...
Empowered Special #6 Review
Thanks to the magic of the MSP trade paperback review, I have become a fan of Adam Warren’s energetic pin-up/superhero epic magnum opus, Empowered, but sometimes find the wait between trades interminably long. Luckily, A...
Major Spoilers Question Of The Day: Your Saddest Pop Culture Moment Edition
Recently, it came to my attention that Leonard Nimoy, now 83 years old, is having health issues due to having smoked earlier in life, leaving me shocked at how much the potential loss of the man behind Spock affected me. The l...
Retro Review: Showcase #37 (March/April 1962)
We all know the feeling of being up against a deadline and frantically trying to come up with something, ANYTHING to fill the particular bill we are working towards… This has led to some awkward moments in my life (inclu...
