In all the crazy confusion that is my life at the moment, this one almost slipped passed me — Major Spoilers is another year older! Today, marks the third anniversary of this website coming into the world, all kicking and screaming, and covered in goo.  The good kind of goo mind you, not that horrible disgusting stuff you find inside the snack aisle at you local 24/7. I’d like to think Major Spoilers made it this far because of an awesome staff of people working around the clock covering the comics and pop culture industry, and to an extent it…

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.

Hey everybody!  If you have been listening to the Major Spoilers Podcast since the beginning, you know we are big big fans of Mark Waid.  Well tonight, Matthew, Rodrigo and I had the pleasure of chatting it up with Mr. Waid, the Editor in Chief of Boom!
