There have been a lot of questionable decisions in comic books since the 1990s, from the replacement of Bruce Wayne with an angry twelve-year-old to Wonder Woman giving up her flag-inspired maillot for bondage gear and hooker boots, but one of the most hated was the transformation of Superman into an aquamarine energy being with lightning powers. While it was a goofy premise, it wasn’t the goofiest of the decade, and certain characters got worse treatment in the Dork Age of comics, and the most tragic part of it all was revealed during the awful ‘Superman Red/Superman Blue’ event: The costume actually looked really…
There are a few pop culture experiences that I feel like I have a partial ownership in, those that I’ve been with since the beginning. I’m a little bit bemused at the upcoming end of ‘Hellblazer,’ seeing as how I bought issue #1 off the stands back in 1988, and I vividly remember the spring of 1991, when the HBO Comedy Channel went dark and the on-screen message promised the impending launch of the brand-new “CTV: The Comedy Network!” These days, that network is still around (albeit known as Comedy Central) while most of the truly ground-breaking stuff that I…

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: There’s a whole lot of bull$#!+ on the internet. Though I am quite sure that the Mayan calendar is nothing more than the latest fad to catch people’s attention (like the pet rock, the Charleston, Rob Liefeld or smallpox), I find that I can’t stop the gears in the back of my mind wondering whether Kukulkan and Quetzalcoatl are gonna sweep down out of the sky sometime in the next few hours. (This, of course, is completely ethnocentric on my part, but I should note at least a portion of what…
In this issue: Zach gives his impressions on watching Alien for the first time, and reflects on how that will make him a better film maker. Matthew has jury duty, and Stephen wonders if people still believe in end of the world myths.

It wasn’t all that long ago that some folks were up in arms about the young lady who managed to make herself look like an anime princess through the clever use of makeup. For my part, I thought she was pretty ingenious in her work, but found the proportions of her eyes in a real-world setting to be incredibly uncomfortable to look at. Of course, when you think about it, the sight of Iron Man in line at Starbucks would be equally strange, and an encounter with someone like the Joker or (perish forbid) Spongebob Squarepants in real life would…
In this issue, Matthew and Stephen sit down to discuss/argue the finer points of pulp heroes joining forces to fight evil in Masks #2 from Dynamite Entertainment. Powerful criminals and crooked politicians have taken over New York, and instituted a fascist police state. With the law bent to their own purposes, the so- called “Justice Party” and their army of Black Legion troopers imprison, extort, and execute any citizens who stand in their way. Only vigilantes like the Shadow, Green Hornet, and the Spider have any hope of standing against them, but instead of operating outside the law as they…
This week has been a busy one at Stately Spoilers Manor, what with ending one seasonal celebration, preparing for another and Young Zach rushing about asking where we keep the caltrops and high-caliber ammunition for when the zombies come. Though I don’t necessarily hold with the widespread rumors of the universe’s impending demise (and I still have no idea how Maya’s calendar got back from Terra Venture) I find it fascinating how strongly this thought process has taken hold. After all, imagining what COULD be on the horizon is always infinitely worse than facing the real future. Even as…
With the end of the world upon us, those that have prepared for the apocalypse will surely be in need of something to read going into (and through) the end of the world. The Major Spoilers crew sat down and came up with their favorite trades they would want to read after the fall occurs.
In this issue: The Apocalypse is coming! Or at least that is what someone wishes was actually happening after reading this week’s trade paperback. Also, Zorro headed to the small screen, Black Beetle takes a crack at evil, Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriquez give us hope, and Harbinger finds Charlene Dupre.

With the Apocalypse almost upon us, there is still time to spend your hard earned money. Major Spoilers has looked at the books arriving in stores this week, and have selected a few titles they recommend this week.
This week on the Major Spoilers Podcast – As the world comes to an end, Major Spoilers is there with our own take on the Apocalypse. Setting his grand plan for godhood into motion, Apocalypse dispatches his agents to capture the world’s most powerful mutants, the fabled Twelve: Professor X, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm, Iceman, Sunfire, Polaris, Cable, Bishop, Mikhail Rasputin, the Living Monolith, and Magneto. Having himself planted the seeds of the Twelve legend, Apocalypse hopes to siphon their power, granting him omnipotence. Desperate to stave off his ascension, the X-Men must strike a temporary truce with Magneto to…
