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.
The second chapter of “Zero Year” delves into Bruce Wayne’s past with the Red Hood Gang and his run-ins with aspiring District Attorney Harvey Dent! And in the backup story, a secret moment from Bruce’s training abroad is revealed for the first time!
Or – “A Character Even *I* Wasn’t Sure I Wanted To Give A Chance…” There’s a lot of dislike for both Red Hulk and Red She-Hulk among fandom, and with good reason. But when Jeff Parker started using the crimson giantess, I was intrigued. When he threw in Machine Man, I started buying. And when the story got rolling, I was hooked. Now, with the final issue, I’m wondering if this is the last we’ll see of irradiated Betty Ross. Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
Jeff Lindsay’s Dexter novels have been a hit and the Showtime series has been an even bigger one. Now Lindsay has brought his devilish creation to Marvel, with an all-new story written by Lindsay himself. Major Spoilers sat down with some duct tape, plastic wrap and knives and gave it a look.
Imagine Mad Men if it were about the crew of a live television Star Trek knock off and you have Satellite Sam, the latest creator owned work out of Image, by Matt Fraction and Howard Chaykin. The premise of a comic about the production of a television show has lots of potential. Other mediums have had lots of success with the same concept, such as with the show Sports Night. Does Satellite Sam pull it off? Find out after the break!
Or – “This Could Get Ugly…” Last issue, winged warrior Katharsis found herself surrounded by a Legion of armed police officers, all of whom were ready to crack her skull to bring her (and The Movement) down. Judging from the cover, there’s a chance she didn’t go quietly… Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
Jason had a happy holiday weekend, but still had time to review comics from DC Comics.
Or – “What Happens AFTER An Iconic Run…” Legendary creators Jack Kirby and Stan Lee did a notorious one-hundred-four issue run on Fantastic Four in the Silver Age, a feat that was almost as amazing then as it is now. Of course, the creators who picked up the reins with #105 had a pretty tough row to hoe, and few of the events of the immediate-post Kirby run have long-lasting ramifications. Of course, depending on your definition of “ramifications” (and possibly your definition of “long-lasting”) there are some interesting bits and pieces in these less-iconic seventies comics… Your Major Spoilers…
Or – “Holy Flashback, Caped Crusaders!” When TV came calling back in 1966, Batman and Robin were ready for the call. For some, Adam West is the only real Caped Crusader, and it seems that DC Comics has heard their cries in the wilderness. Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
What happens when three super groups bump into each other? As Bugs Bunny would say, “Of course you realize, this means war!” This series focuses on the woman who may be behind the Trinity War!
Or – “The Aftermath Of Catwoman’s Demise…” Last issue ended with a big shock as Selena Kyle, erstwhile superhero and Batman counterpart, was killed to death, shot down by the wicked Secret Society of Super-Villains. How will the fallout effect the League? And, hey… Doesn’t she have her own book? Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
Or – “I’m Not Sure I’m Happy With The Cover Symbolism…” When they announced that they would be launching an X-book with an all-female team, my first thought was “Couldn’t this end up being a terribly executed mess?” Of course, my second thought was “Aren’t they all on other teams already?” The answer to both questions is, of course, “Yeeeeppp”, but how does the book actually stack up? Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
Superman and Batman. One is a modern god, as visible to the public as the sun, who inspires and leads with his example of protecting the innocent and believing even Lex Luthor has some good in him. Another strikes fear in the superstitious and cowardly criminals from the shadows, using the darkness as a weapon, a man who became a legend. Both are heroes. What happens when you put these two, seemingly opposite, superheroes together? Well that’s what this book aims to answer, see how it does with your Major Spoilers review!
Or – “A Man Destined To Be At The Center Of Time-Travel Shenanigans, No Matter The Universe…” The JLU version of Jonah Hex had an iconic moment when he identified the power of Chronos as the result of time-travel. When asked how he knew, he simply grunted, “Experience…” Now that Booster Gold has arrived in his turf, Hex is once again forced to deal with future greenhorns and their baggage, and it’s probably not going to be an easy row to hoe.
