REVIEW: Deadpool #8

Posted on by

Or – “The Sensational Character Find Of 1991!”

The success of Deadpool is the kind of thing that really makes you love comics.  His pedigree isn’t impressive (a not-at-all subtle knockoff of Deathstroke, from a creator who is, at best, controversial) and he comes from a timeframe widely lambasted for its excesses.  Moreover, he is a comedic character with a tendency to break the fourth wall, making him a perfect storm of things that could go horribly wrong.  And yet, he’s become a key weapon in Marvel’s arsenal, with a recent high-profile relaunch.  What’s the secret?  Your Major Spoilers review awaits!

REVIEW: Iron Man 3

Posted on by

Marvel Studios kicked off their movie experiment with Iron Man in 2008, and began the road to Avengers with 2010′s Iron Man 2, so it’s only fitting that Iron Man 3 is the first post Avengers movie, and is used to kick-off Marvel’s Phase 2. With a new writer and director calling the shots, does Iron Man 3 crack under the weight of expectation?

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!

REVIEW: Revival #9

Posted on by

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 with this new phenomenon.

RETRO REVIEW: Atoman #1 (February 1946)

Posted on by

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!

REVIEW: DC Universe Presents #19 (of 19)

Posted on by

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!

REVIEW: Age Of Ultron #6 (of 10)

Posted on by

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!
