This week, Dr. Peter Coogan of the Institute for Comic Studies stopped by and dropped off this week’s Poll of the Week the pits the tag team of John Lennon and Paul McCartney against Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Both these teams of creators worked in the 1960s and produced a solid body of work that laid the groundwork for much popular culture that came after them, and in both pairs each member seems to have brought the best in the other member. Think of McCartney’s work in Wings vs. his work in the Beatles, or Kirby’s solo work–neither accomplished…

DC Comics had a great idea a few years ago where it would introduce a new line of comics under the All-Star banner and feature many of their characters in a whole new light. First out of the gate were the powerhouse duo of All-Star Superman (Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely) and All-Star Batman and Robin (Frank Miller and Jim Lee). Sounds like a sure fire hit, right? While Morrison did complete his Superman maxi-series, Miller and Lee floundered in getting their ASBAR out on time. But where not here to discuss release dates, and/or failures. We want to know…
While it is still a hot topic, let’s pit two vampire slayers against one another and see who comes out on top. While the Buffy the Vampire Slayer television series made a heck of a lot more money per episode than the entire theatrical run of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, one wonders what would happen if Kristy Swanson’s Buffy got in the ring with Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Buffy?

Breakfast. It’s the most important meal of the day (or so they say). When it comes to coma inducing, pancreas killing, sugar filled cereal, none fill that Saturday morning need to get wound up at 5:00 AM than Cap’n Crunch and Count Chocula. If the two were tossed into a ring, and forced to duke it out over the fate of your very soul – who would emerge victorious? VOTE! [poll id=”157″]
There have been some really weird crossover comics, until I wandered down the toy aisle and saw the Superman vs. He-Man action figure two pack, I completely forgot that the two actually met in a DC crossover event in 1982. Back then, Superman was able to bring He-Man down with a well placed punch, but both characters have gone through an evolution since then. So… FIGHT! [poll id=”154″]

When it comes to running an idea into the ground, the monster genre crossing over with the superhero universe seems to be played out. Yet the publishers continue to crank out content. This week, we’re picking on Marvel and their attempts to make the two genres cross with each other in a big big way. VOTE! [poll id=”151″]
When it comes to demi-gods, Marvel and DC both have heavy hitters in the form of Thanos and Darkseid. If the two were thrown into the galactic ring and forced to pound on one another until one emerged victorious, who would win? FIGHT! [poll id=”150″]
This week, the Major Spoilers Crew ponders the deep question – If you lived in Matt Groening’s Universe, would you be a fan of Buzz Cola or Slurm? TASTE TEST, GO! [poll id=”149″]
Here at Major Spoilers we like reading comics, and we know you do, too. But how often do you re-read the issues you pick up at the store? For me, I usually end up reading most of my issues twice – once for fun, once for critique. I know some people who don’t read their issues at all, and others who read a book until it falls apart in their hands. I’m working on something at the moment and could use some feedback from The Legion of Major Spoilerites. [poll id=”147″]
