Or – “Faster Than A Seltzer Bottle, More Powerful Than A Rubber Chicken…” I have often pointed out that creativity is a capricious and inconsistent beastie. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby together created the Silver Surfer (poetic stranger in a strange land), while Jack alone created The Black Racer (just plain strange). When Siegel & Shuster abandoned DC in the mid-1940s, after selling the rights to Superman, for the princely sum of $130 bucks, they took their talents to a rival publisher to try to catch lightning in a bottle again with the adventures of Funnyman!

Wild Blue Yonder #2 from IDW has jet packs, fighter planes, a mysterious ritual known as Movie Night, all sprinkled with a liberal dose of post-apocalyptic scarcity tropes. But does this make a recipe for success? Major Spoilers has the review.
The new Core Set for Magic: the Gathering, Magic 2014, came out about a week and a half ago now. Unlike the Expert Expansions, I have yet to be able to find the time and manage to go to a Core Set Prerelease. However, thanks to some nice folks over at Wizards of the Coast, I have had a few chances to go through the set and play with it a bit, so after the jump lies a Major Spoilers review of the Magic 2014 Core Set.
A female ape, Ayala, is about to be beheaded for betraying her people, then some humans barge in and wreck up the joint while some bald people telepathically talk to a kid who’s the ape’s son. Yeah, there’s a lot here I didn’t understand either, but let’s decode it together after the jump.
Hugh Jackman returns as Wolverine, for the sixth time. His last movie was not particularly good, and left a bad taste in the mouth of fans. This movie, based in part of the classic Claremont/Miller arc, sees Logan in Japan, fighting samurai, yakuza, and ninjas. But can it erase Origins from our mind?
Weaver has a unique ability: he can steal other people’s skills including their memories, abilities, and expertise for a limited period of time. However, rather than using this power for good, Weaver chooses to cheat and con his way through life. When he gets bored of one place, he moves on. However, after one of his cons goes wrong, Weaver finds himself on the run. With no where to go, he must trust a mysterious woman to help him. While following this woman, Weaver will learn he is not that special after all.
Or – “What’s Big And Green And Has A Staple In Her Navel?” Remember the time that a sleazy skin-mag tried to put one over on the cousin of the Incredible Hulk? Your Major Spoilers (retro) review awaits!
Or – “These Days, This Isn’t My Usual Ashley Williams…” Mashups and crossovers are the order of the day in comics anymore, but seldom does an inter-property crossover make more sense than in this case. Will two sardonic monster hunters with a flair for the old ultra-violence get along? And, more importantly, how long before Ash hits on Cassie Hack? Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
Marvel has had success with Superior Spider-Man and now it’s Superior Spider-Month. We’ve already gotten the Superior Foes of Spider-Man and Superior Spider-Man Team Up. What else could possibly get superior-ized? Why Carnage of course! Major Spoilers sat down with Superior Carnage #1 to see just how superior it is. Your review is just ahead…(Man that’s a lot of superiors)
This week, Jason too another gander at every book from DC Comics released this week.
