REVIEW: G.I. Joe – A Real American Hero #190

Posted on by

Or – “Knowing Is Approximately 50% Of Any Given Conflict…”

The original continuity of G.I. Joe was largely the brainchild of Larry Hama, who was originally tasked by Marvel Comics to help put together the action series line, and was the primary writer of the original figure card “dossiers”, one of the things which really differentiated G.I. Joe from that which came before.  A couple of years ago, IDW Publishing picked up that version of the G.I. Joe property from the point their Marvel series had left off, and three years later, Hama’s version is still going strong.  What’s the skinny on America’s daring, highly-trained special missions force 30 years later?  Your Major Spoilers review awaits!

REVIEW: Battlestar Galactica #1

Posted on by

There are those who believe that stories here began back there, far across time with rooms of writers who may have provided the basis for licensed comic adaptations of popular television shows… who may have been the architects of fantastic sequential storytelling… Some believe there may yet be derivative works that even now fight to survive—somewhere beyond the comic book rack! Fleeing from the Cylon tyranny, the original version of the last battlestar, Galactica, leads a rag-tag fugitive fleet on a lonely quest through Dynamite Entertainment’s “Battlestar Galactica” ongoing series. Read on for your Major Spoilers review of its inaugural issue.

Or – “Not Everyone Gets To Be The Red Ranger…”

When it comes to your Japanese five-person super-teams, there are a few rules of thumb.  You get a leader, usually the upstanding hero and/or rookie.  You get a comic-relief character.  You get a girl.  You get yourself big guy.  And, to round out the group, there’s often a mysterious loner, the brooding bad boy outcast, the guy who has an axe to grind, but still quietly respects the other members of his group.  This is a story about the first of those loners…  Your Major Spoilers (retro) review awaits!
