Major Spoilers Question Of The Day: Take It Out In Trade Edition

Posted on by

In my latest review, I found myself remembering why I prefer to read certain series in the collected format.  While I remain an avid believer that the monthly individual issue can still be a viable vehicle for comic book art, a case can be made some stories simply work better in larger portions.

So, Faithful Spoilerites, regardless of where you fall on the spectrum of “Issues Vs. TPBs”, the question of the day is this:  Are there books that simply read better in the trade?

On the Next Major Spoilers Podcast: Mage: The Hero Discovered

Posted on by

This week, on the Major Spoilers Podcast, the crew takes a look at Matt Wagner’s Mage: The Hero Discovered.

 


March 21
Mage: The Hero Discovered
Writer: Matt Wagner
Artist: Matt Wagner
The Hero Discovered follows Kevin Matchstick, an alienated young man who meets a wizard called Mirth and discovers that he, among other things, possesses both a magic baseball bat and superhuman abilities. In the course of the comic, he defeats the nefarious plans of a being called the Umbra Sprite. He ultimately discovers that Mirth is Merlin, the baseball bat is Excalibur, and he is, in some ambiguous way, King Arthur. All the chapter titles are lines from Shakespeare’s Hamlet.
