It does this long-time comics reader’s heart good to see Superman holding down the top position in sales as he has the last two months (and I hope he’ll do it again for August). What better way is there to celebrate the Man of Steel’s 75th birthday?

If you are looking for the Major Spoilers reviews of comic books from the comic book industry, you’ve found it! The best and the worst comics are reviewed each week.
Ten Years ago we were given a real breath of fresh undead air with the genius, scary and damned hilarious Shaun Of The Dead. Hot Fuzz came next, which was action packed and bloody funny. Now the Cornetto Trilogy closes out with The World’s End, a sci-fi tale of friendship and individuality. But is it funny?
Or – “How To Kill Your Franchise In 5 Years Or Less…” As a 30-year fan of the Legion of Super-Heroes, I was vaguely saddened to hear that the book was being cancelled when the news broke a couple of months ago, but it was a complex and remote sadness. Given that the New 52 era LSH had never really found its stride, part of me wondered if it wasn’t all for the best, but subsequent issues seemed to get some of their groove back. What does the future hold for the future? Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
When a review copy of a comic called Zombie Tramp slinked my way, I had to read it. How could I not? It’s called Zombie Tramp! That alone should make you want to read the review that waits after the jump!
The rain came down in a torrent just outside the fish market as the private police force bore down on us from all angles. I had with me a gun-toting troll—a mountain of a woman she was—and a plucky little dwarf furiously alternating between casting buffs on us and throwing fireballs at the cops. None of us mattered, though. Our only concern was the elf, our decker. She had plugged herself into a corporate Intranet to retrieve some R&D files for a client—just a little corporate espionage. Such is the life of a runner in Harebrained Schemes’ recently released “Shadowrun…
Red Sonja stands at the head of a ragtag army to face the oncoming storm that threatens to raze a city from the earth and commence the extinction of its people. Is their leader, a known individual, friend of foe? Read on in this Major Spoilers review.
Astro City is finally back! Hurray! The first two issues were warmly received and met the level of quality I expect from the series. Does the third issue maintain the quality streak? Find out with your Major Spoilers review!
As the final eight episodes of Breaking Bad began last week we witnessed the confrontation between Hank and Walt finally happen. With accusations and threats lingering in the air, fans had to wait a full week to see what would happen next. The wait is over and Major Spoilers has your recap and review! Spoilers!
Or – “Does This Make The Whole Thing Better Or Worse?” For 13 issues now, we’ve seen a group of teen heroes from across the Marvel Universe fighting one another in the control of Arcade, with lethal consequences for a few (albeit not as many as it seemed.) Now, we finally get to see what their friends and loved ones have been doing about their disappearances, but will we finally get the truth about Murder World? Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
Or – “Mission Creep: The Bane Of The Comics Industry.” When Marvel Comics originated their original Graphic Novel line in the early 1980s, it was designed to showcase stories that were considered more adult than their average comic output. Eventually, though, the powers that be began filling the MGN line with things that were essentially just long-form versions of their regular tales. (The New Mutants Graphic Novel, f’rinstance, was reputedly just the planned first two issues of their book under one cover.) John Byrne was determined that Sensational She-Hulk would actually be an adult reading experience, but is that necessarily…
Or – “Frickin’ Negan…” There’s really only one burning question in Walking Dead these days: Has anybody shot Negan right in his big rubbery head? If you want to know for sure, your Major Spoilers review awaits!
Or – “You’ve Been… T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Struck!” Even back in the 1960s, Tower Comics wasn’t a huge player in terms of units sold or market share, but what they did have was amazing artists out the wazoo. Wally Wood, Gil Kane and cohorts made the adventures of the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents visually stunning from the very first issue, and even 45 years later, that work still echoes. Now, a new generation of super-agents is ready to debut, but are they ready to deal with the repercussions of T.H.U.N.D.E.R. agency? Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
Or – “Will They Rip Out Readers’ Hearts Again?” Barbara Gordon’s second Batgirl career has not been without its bumps, especially given that she was forced to kill her own brother in the line of duty, gaining the ire of the Commissioner of the Gotham City police, who has vowed to bring her down. Of course, he doesn’t know that she’s actually his daughter… Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
