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.
Having helped revive the Fast & Furious franchise, WWE Champion The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) has been injected in to the GI Joe franchise. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra was pretty darn bad, incredibly dumb, shoddy effects, and deviated too far from my understanding of the “source material” (I mostly played with Star Wars toys). You can’t polish a turd, but can chucking Rocky glitter over one work?
Or – “AN-THO-LO-GEE! AN-THO-LO-GEE! YOU BORDER ON… THE… AD-RI… ATIC!” The day of the monthly anthology may be done, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t still places where comic publishers can deliver short story goodness to their readers. We’re going old-school, with the legendary Time Warp, and your Major Spoilers review awaits!
Or – “Take It From Me, Parents Just Don’t Understand.” Young Avengers has been kind of an oddball title, but in a very good way, as Gillen & McKelvie have delivered quirky, character-driven teenage action that is nonetheless firmly set in the Marvel Universe. Now that they’ve been able to escape Teddy’s nefarious mom, only to leap straight into the clutches of Loki’s insidious father. Are the Young Avengers doomed before they’ve even fully assembled? Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
Bodie Troll is a new all ages comic from Red 5 hitting the shelves in April and Major Spoilers took an advanced look to see what it’s all about.
Or – “Buddy Baker Overdrive!” Younger comics readers are always a hoot. Recently, I was privy to a conversation between two 20-ish readers about how stupid it is that they put Animal Man back in a costume in his New 52 incarnation, because “Vertigo guys don’t have costumes.” Laying aside that Animal Man’s original duds are both iconic and goofy, it’s a good example of how you can’t get used to the status quo of comics, because it will change. Ironically, there was also a grain of wisdom in the conversation, as well, because, in his first appearance, Animal Man…
Or – “What To Do After The End Of The World…” Last issue, the legendary Legion team of Keith Giffen and Paul Levitz was reunited, as the entirety of the known universe blew up in the faces of our heroes. Technology no longer works, the team is scattered, isolated (and in one case killed and eaten) while our heroes try to figure out the whos and whys of the disaster that has befallen the U.P. The creative team promised last time that it would get worse, and now we’re about to see how bad it gets. Your Major Spoilers review…
They are the new Justice League of America: Martian Manhunter, Hawkman, Katana, Catwoman, Stargirl, Green Lantern Simon Baz, Green Arrow, and Vibe (yes, THAT Vibe). Brought together by Amanda Waller, they are led by former Justice League liaison, Steve Trevor. However, the Justice League of America serves a greater and sinister purpose: should the original Justice League go rogue, they have the power to stop them.
Everyone’s favorite Judge and embodiment of The Law is back. Currently in the middle of what looks to be a revival of Dredd comics, probably thanks in part to the cult-hit of a movie, here we have a telling of his first adventures, his Year One. Find out if it’s any good with your Major Spoilers review!
Pulp comic series seem to be a hot commodity for publishers other than the Big Two these days.

Is this title destined for literary greatness or will it be lost amongst the hundreds of other books published each month? Find out now in this Major Spoilers review of Five Ghosts: The Haunting of Fabian Gray #1!
Or – “Sacrifice and Loss…” Saga has quickly turned into the most gripping book on the stands, month after month, but this issue promises to up the stakes considerably. Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
For twenty issues now we’ve seen how the new Ultimate Spider-Man, Miles Morales, has adjusted to the life of a super-powered adolescent. What will he do when Peter Parker’s past rears its ugly symbiote head and goes after Miles’ family? Major Spoilers reviews Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man #21 to find out!
With the keys to Hell hanging in the balance, Elisa Cameron finally faces off against her demons, both literal and personal. It’s the final chapter of Ghost’s first story arc and things are rapidly heating up. Will it keep burning hot or will it fizzle out? More after the jump!
Or – “It’s Time To Reverse The Polarity Of The Neutron Flow!” The Third Doctor steps into the spotlight, but will he fall to the mysterious force, like his younger selves? Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
