Or – “Male Chauvinist Pigs IN SPAAACE!!!” After a run-in with another iteration of the Extremis virus (which seems to be final, at least for now), Tony Stark realized that saving the Earth might be setting his sights a little bit low. Heading into outer space, Iron Man forgot only one thing… Will his actions against the Phoenix force be his undoing? Your Major Spoilers review awaits!

Tim Seeley’s and Mike Norton’s Revival series is a brand new take on the zombie genre. In the Wausau district of Wisconsin, the dead are rising from the grave. However, instead of mindless corpses, the people have been resurrected with their original personalities. The local townspeople call them Revivers. With the entire district quarantined by the federal government, a young police officer and single mother named Dana Cypress are investigating the murder of her sister, Martha, who is a Reviver. Through Dana’s eyes, the comic branches into all walks of life within the quarantined area, with everyone trying to deal…
Or – “Does Whatever An Atom Can!” There are a lot of reasons why a book might make it into my Retro Review pile. Some books are fan-favorites, others are culturally significant. Some are wonderful, while others are awful in the most charming of ways. Some are suggested by Faithful Spoilerites, others commanded by the Powers That Be… And sometimes, just sometimes, a book is only special enough to become a Retro Review because of the fact that, at some point, it utterly fascinated me. This is one of those cases. Your Major Spoilers (retro) review awaits!

Or – “Say What You Will About WTF Month, But That Cover Is SERIOUSLY Goofy-Looking…” When the New 52 kicked off, I was happy to hear that they had an anthology title in the mix, allowing us to see characters other than Superman, Batman and Catwoman once in a while. Now, the grand experiment comes to an end and the cover promises a crossover between the present-day Justice League and Sword and Sorcery’s Beowulf. What’s the deal with all that, you ask (assuming you’re Jerry Seinfeld?) Your Major Spoilers review awaits!

Or – “Oh, Well… That Wasn’t What I Expected.” After four relatively lackluster issues that clearly took place in an alternate timeline/pocket dimension/what-have-you, issue #5 sudden flipped the script on the Age Of Ultron, making what was a pretty standard post-apocalyptic bit of blah-blah-blah into something with potential. What does the future hold for our heroes? And, more importantly, what does the PAST have to say for itself? Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
Or – “It’s Always Darkest Before It Turns Pitch Black.” After the (perhaps overly) shocking turn of events last issue, the Legion of Super-Heroes may be on their last legs. What more can befall our poor 31st Century heroes? Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
Or – “That Moment Where You Drop A Well-Written Title Due To Art.” Captain Marvel is a book that I was quite excited about at its launch, only to find myself drifting away due to a growing dislike for the over-saturated, fully-painted art style, especially given how awesome the artists handling the covers were. Having heard that the interiors are handled by a different artist, I thought I might check in on Carol Danvers’ adventures, to see if I might want to start picking it up again… What’s the final tally? Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
