Animal Man has managed to make it to issue twenty one when many other books, some starring more popular characters, have all met their fate at the chopping block of DC editorial. Whats more amazing is that Animal Man has maintained the same writer this entire time, when virtually every other book has changed creative teams more often than you change partners at a square dance. Does Animal Man still have the quality to justify still being published? Find out with your Major Spoilers review!

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.
Or – “That Other Thing That Kirkman Does…” With all the attention focused on The Walking Dead, it’s sometimes difficult to recall that Bob Kirkman’s zombie opus isn’t his original Image book. Initially launched as part of a line of teen-themed books, Invincible is now the last man standing, and its erratic publishing schedule has caused me to forget about it more than once. Now, the I-Team is back with another issue, and that cover promises that things aren’t going to be dull. Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
John Lincoln is an average burnout living in Atlanta. He takes recreational drugs, gets drunk every night, and often wakes up not remembering what happened. Then one night, while with his friend at the Fernbank Museum of Natural History, John steals an Aborigine mask. The next morning he finds his girlfriend Claire dead, who he killed the night before. Since then, John Lincoln’s world has been turned upside down. Whenever he falls asleep, he brings deadly vengeance to murderers for victims who possess him.
Starbuck and Apollo are lost in space with no robots or conniving doctors to help them. Are their time weapons responsible? Have they erased decades of Colonial history from the face of the universe? Find out in this, your Major Spoilers review.
Or – “I Hear There’s This Movie Thing…” As often remarked on the Major Spoilers Podcast, I don’t necessarily rush out to see any movie, even those based on the comic books that I enjoy. As such, I often hear all about the films long before I check them out myself, such as with the recent release of ‘Man Of Steel,’ whose plot-points have caused many fanboys to name-check a certain 25-year-old Superman issue. Quarter-century old comics? This looks like a job for ME! Your Major Spoilers (retro) review awaits!
Or – “A Book That Has Repeatedly Set Me Off…” The first issue of Uncanny Avengers ended with a moment that crossed the line from awesome into WTF territory, and the comic hasn’t slowed its roll since. Certain moments have been excellent, and I like the cast as a whole, but it seems that every issue has a moment that makes me sit back, agog with disbelief. Will #9 wow or will it go down in flames? Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
In a few hours the second season of Kaijudo will premiere on the Hub Network. While I haven’t watched any of the first season, the people at Hub were nice enough to give Major Spoilers an early look at this episode and it got turned over to me. So with that in mind, let’s take the jump and take a first look at Kaijudo: Clash of the Duel Masters together.
Jason Inman sat down and read every DC Comics book released this week, and shares his thoughts on all of them.
Someone recently asked me to post a review that wasn’t as positive as I usually prefer, so here goes! If you’re a kid reading this, you need to go to a very different page NOW!
Marvel has teamed with Hyperion books to release novels showcasing two of the company’s heroines. One, The She-Hulk Diaries, has Jennifer Walters managing her personal, professional and super life. Does this foray into a new format work for the character? Major Spoilers cracked open the cover and had a read.
Or – “Can It Live Up To The Hype?” Marvel editorial has promised this book will change everything, that we’ll be talking about this book for years. Given where last issue left off, that seems like it might be hyperbole, but how much could one issue really change the status quo? Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
Jason, like many, went to see Man of Steel this past weekend, and shares his thoughts on the movie.
Or – “The Father Who Makes Us All A Little Jealous…” I haven’t seen this new ‘Man Of Steel’ movie, but from the advertising, I suspect that it might have something to do with Superman. Having read a few comics with Big Blue in them over the years, I had been thinking about one to cover this weekend when I was suddenly reminded that it was also Father’s Day. Given those two parameters, there was one clear winner, but I’ll warn you in advance: I had to bust out my handkerchief, and you might as well, when you hear about…
X returns in a limited series to Dark Horse comics. The vigilante X hunts the corrupt businessmen and criminals of Arcadia. Equipped with his own brutal sense of justice, X has left a long trail of blood and bodies in his city. He trusts no one except himself, and leaves a red X on his victims’ faces, the same red X on his mask. With the body count rising, the police attempt to track the elusive killer.
