COMICS PORTAL: The Name Game
Okay, you walk into a store and are looking for a few specific comics. How do you find them?
COMICS PORTAL: Comics-Related Movie Fatigue in 2014?
In recent years, observers of the movie industry have been worrying out loud about “superhero fatigue.” In other words, will movie-goers get tired of seeing movies with comic-book superheroes in them? I think this might better ...
COMICS PORTAL: The ‘Guardians’ Challenge
Nobody is happier than I am that more comics-related properties are hitting the big screen. As I’ve said before, each comic can be considered as a possible movie, sometimes even showing how it could look in the movies. Marvel S...
COMICS PORTAL: Too Much Advertising?
In the last several years, I’ve noticed a trend that is starting to wear on me. It’s the practice of advertising movies during the commercials of other products.
COMICS PORTAL: Marvel vs. DC vs. Us
I’ve been following with interest the Internet discussions ever since word came out last week that Marvel was putting Captain America 3 up against Batman vs. Superman in movie theaters on May 6, 2016. Even though this is still ...
Don’t Ruin It!
Even though this website is called MajorSpoilers.com, I still don’t like it when serious plot points in a story I’m looking forward to reading are given away. And I steer clear of ruining a story for anyone else as a result.
DC Making More Weekly Comics, 3D Covers
Several months ago, I discussed the debut of Batman Eternal, which will begin next month, in April. Now comes word that DC will also have two other weeklies hitting the stores by October. Not only that, September will be anothe...
Comics Portal: More Number Ones!
If a comics company wants to get the attention of comics readers and collectors, there’s one sure way to do it … issue a number one! For example, Marvel has announced that at least two number one issues are on the way soo...
Lex Luthor, Hero?
Recently, news came out that Lex Luthor, Superman’s opposite number, will be joining the Justice League, at least for a while. That’s certainly going to cause friction in that team!
Johns and JRJR Take on The Man of Steel
Remember last week’s column when I said that change is a constant in the Doctor Who universe? Well, fortunately for us, change is also taking place in the Superman universe! As reported here at MajorSpoilers.com, two big talent...
Making a Titan out of Doctor Who?
Change is a constant in the universe of Doctor Who. Every few years, the main character regenerates into a different person. For example, Matt Smith recently handed over the role to Peter Capaldi, a decidedly different actor, s...
Don’t Fall in Love with a Superhero
Just visit your local grocery store and you’ll discover that Valentine’s Day is coming soon. I’m always happy when that holiday goes by because it means February is half over, that month bringing the worst weather of the year w...
The Dynamic Duo on DVD … Finally!
Late last week via Conan O’Brien’s tweet, Bat-fans found out that the original Adam West/Burt Ward Batman series from the 1960s was heading to DVD! The show aired from 1966 to 1968, and while the motion picture based on the sho...
It’s Amazing! Peter Parker Returns!
When you’ve read comics as long as I have – a really long time now – there are certain patterns I’ve noticed in how both Marvel and DC do certain things. One of those, which I honestly despise, is to rep...
COMICS PORTAL: Star Wars Returns to Marvel Comics
“In 2015, the cosmic adventures of Luke, Han, Leia and Chewbacca will make the lightspeed jump back to Marvel, to begin a new age of adventures within the Star Wars universe,” said a press release from Disney recently. It’s bee...
COMICS PORTAL: The Best of 2013!
The year 2013 may go down as one of the best years in comics in recent years. Every company was “upping their game,” and the quality of storytelling went up as well, in my opinion. To wrap up this year, I want to share what I c...
COMICS PORTAL: Comics as Christmas Gifts
Tomorrow will be Christmas Day, so the gifts will be given, unwrapped and enjoyed. But as a comics reader, I’ve often found this holiday to be somewhat disappointing. And I’ve often spoken with other comics fans, and many of yo...
COMICS PORTAL: The End?
Something interesting is happening in comics these days – stories that actually end!
COMICS PORTAL: Spider-Man’s Eyes and Batman’s Ears
I read a lot of “whodunit” stories, and watch a lot of mystery shows on the tube. I have to know who is responsible for what happened, and why. My TiVo is chock full of detective shows. The puzzle I’m trying to solve these day...
