Wayne’s Comics Podcast #87: Daniel Corey

It’s time for the 87th episode of the Wayne’s Comics podcast, now at MajorSpoilers.com!

This week I have a fun interview with Daniel Corey, scripter for the Moriarty comic from Image, based on the famous Sir Arthur Conan Doyle foe of Sherlock Holmes! Daniel talks about how he came up with the idea to focus on Moriarty, and also what fans can expect to find in the upcoming hardcover collected version, due in June.

Then everything wraps up with Gianluca Glazer discussing the latest ‘News & Previews’ with me! Don’t miss it!

Wayne’s Comics is created by Wayne Hall, who also writes the weekly Comics Portal column and reviews comics for this site as well!

 

HERO HISTORY: Apeslayer

Or – “Before You Ask, No, I Didn’t Make This One Up…”

The worlds of fiction are many and varied, and the tale of the young freedom fighter with the odds against him is a compelling one, turning up again and again.  Whether a historical war (such as the long-running Tomahawk), an alien perspective (like Luke Skywalker), or something entirely different, there’s a lot of mileage to be had out of the story of one man against a corrupt system.  So much so, that sometimes you can cut-and-paste that story into an entirely different world and continuity, with only the slightest changes in art necessary to redefine the world.  But, as a wise man said, it is the tale, not he who tells it, and the names are often changed to protect the innocent (as well as those who might be held culpable in court of law.)  This, then is your Major Spoilers Hero History of Jonathan Dozer, raised in a world where apes evolved from men, but took up arms against the bastards who finally did it, known to his simian overlords as Apeslayer!

REVIEW: Deadpool #8

Or – “The Sensational Character Find Of 1991!”

The success of Deadpool is the kind of thing that really makes you love comics.  His pedigree isn’t impressive (a not-at-all subtle knockoff of Deathstroke, from a creator who is, at best, controversial) and he comes from a timeframe widely lambasted for its excesses.  Moreover, he is a comedic character with a tendency to break the fourth wall, making him a perfect storm of things that could go horribly wrong.  And yet, he’s become a key weapon in Marvel’s arsenal, with a recent high-profile relaunch.  What’s the secret?  Your Major Spoilers review awaits!

REVIEW: Daredevil #25

Someone’s been trying to recreate the accident that gave Matt Murdock his abilities, while also releasing all of the failed experiments out into the unsuspecting public. Faced not only with the maniacal wiles of a madman, but also with losing his friend Foggy to cancer, Daredevil may be stretched a little thin. How will he cope? More after the jump!

REVIEW: Iron Man 3

Marvel Studios kicked off their movie experiment with Iron Man in 2008, and began the road to Avengers with 2010′s Iron Man 2, so it’s only fitting that Iron Man 3 is the first post Avengers movie, and is used to kick-off Marvel’s Phase 2. With a new writer and director calling the shots, does Iron Man 3 crack under the weight of expectation?

Zach on Film: Do The Right Thing (1989)

It’s cold at Major Spoilers HQ, but it is a very hot day in Spike Lee’s 1989 film, Do The Right Thing.


It’s the hottest day of the summer. You can do nothing, you can do something or you can…Do the Right Thing. The controversial story centers around one scorching inner-city day, when racial tensions reach the boiling point in a tough Brooklyn neighborhood.
