My friends who know about the writings of George “Railroad Crossing” Martin were up in arms at this season of ‘Game Of Thrones,’ when the horrible fate of one character was shifted to another character in the adaptation. (To be fair, much of the discussion centered on questions of whether the brutality of the story’s sexual assault was justifiable, regardless of at whom it was aimed.)

The individual heroes are already slated to appear throughout the Marvel Universe during (and seemingly after) the Secret Wars, leading us to the strange sight of Sue Richards as an Agent Of SHIELD, and Johnny working the grill at a Jack-In-The-Box. (One of those is made up, but both could make for an interesting arc of stories.) Of course, it could be much worse: When the Justice Society was forcibly retired in the 1990s,…
Lately, my daughter, the legendary Widget, has decided that she really wants to be a mermaid if and when she grows up. It’s actually kind of adorable, as she’s saving her money up to buy a mermaid tail for swimming and has started wearing an adorable mermaid pendant that looks like a magical talisman. When I was her age, I remember pretending to be my favorite members of G.I. Joe or occasionally The Mad Scientist’s Club, so I can relate. (Also, I spent an entire work-day recently thinking how cool it would be to be a giant robot, but that’s…

While I try very hard not to give in to the nattering nabobs of negativity about the hobby we all love, living through the excesses of 1990s comic books has made me somewhat cynical, and perhaps too critical of much of that decade’s four-color output.

IT’S NEW COMIC BOOK DAY! But what to read? Fortunately, the Major Spoilers Staff have comic book recommendations for you!
