With the popularity of archery in pop culture, it’s not altogether surprising that Zenescope Entertainment would give the original Emerald Archer a mini-series, nor is it surprising that they gave that archer a gender-bending twist. Major Spoilers takes a look at Robyn Hood #1!

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 – “Sure, He’s Shazam Now, But Back In Nineteen-Forty?” There has been some consternation amongst DC fans that the new 52 revival of the character formerly known as Captain Marvel has been redubbed ‘Shazam’ by the publisher, ostensibly because the character is better known by that name to the general public. Given the Golden Age origins of the character, though, it may be that it’s not just the NAME that needed the update. Your Major Spoilers (Retro) Review awaits!
Or – “Didn’t These Guys All Used To Be Friends?” The advent of a new age of marvels super-heroes on any world tends to be a difficult process, as seen by the New 52 relaunch last year. With things in full swing for a second age of mighty heroes (though not THOSE Mighty Heroes) the only thing that might stop it cold is the advent of an angry death god in the middle of it all. Um, yeah. About that? Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
Matt Fraction took the reins of the Defenders promising that he would explore the foundations of the Marvel Universe and answer the questions of how it all came together. With only one more issue to go, has he lived up to his promise? More importantly, is it a good read? Find out after the jump.
Detective Comics #13 opens a new arc with a new writer at the helm. Fans have been salivating to see Chew creator John Layman’s take on the Caped Crusader, and Major Spoilers has the review.
Those of you old enough may remember the ‘90’s event, Maximum Carnage that took place across multiple Spider-Man titles. And you may also have chosen (or wished) to forget Maximum Carnage. Now Marvel is bringing us the mini-event (don’t you love puns?) Minimum Carnage, but is it anything like what came before it? Major Spoilers finds out!
The dead walk the streets of New York City. Well, they’re not really dead and they’re only on some streets, contained in buildings and such, but they’re mid less zombies and Richard Wentworth, The Spider, has to stop them and help find a cure for their condition. Will he succeed?!
Or – “The Cost Of Constant Conflict…” Yadda yadda fighty-fighty Avengers something something X-Men, Cyclops gone mad. You’re not even reading this part, you just want to know how it ends. Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
In this, the fifth entry in the Resident Evil movie franchise, Alice must be rescued from a high tech underground complex run and owned by the evil Umbrella Corporation. There are clones, zombies, and all manner of oogly booglies, but can it live up to the lofty heights of the previous movies?
Or – “The Swan-Song Of J. Robert Liefeld…” I’ve had a love-hate relationship with Hawkman over the years, enjoying his appearances in JSA, the Tim Truman revamp and a few JLA cameos, but truly loathing the endless cycle of retcons and revamping and back-story updates. A character who is more important for his historical significance than his actual comics appearances (much like Wonder Woman, only vastly more so), Hawkman has been kind of bland for my tastes, and I can’t remember having read the previous issues of this particular run, even though I KNOW I have. (I reviewed at least…
John Constantine travels to New York to train with the best mage the United States has to offer. Will he find what he’s looking for or will he get the magical cold shoulder? More after the jump!
Everyone knows the story of how Bruce Wayne was orphaned–parents killed in an alley by a lone gunman, pearls fall into the street, boy cries out to the heavens, etc. Now in The New 52, Batman: The Dark Knight #0 promises to reveal the conspiracy behind the Wayne killings. Major Spoilers finds out who orchestrated the madness just for you!
Or – “Will It Be A Smashing Debut, A Crashing Bore Or Other Britishy-Sounding Things?” There will always be a special place in my heart for ‘The Avengers,’ as I used to watch when I was a child. I had no idea who or what they were, or the history behind them, or even that John Steed had accomplices before (and, for that matter, after) Mrs. Peel. All I knew was that the actors were charming, the plots were engaging, and Diana Rigg was utterly beautiful. After the dreadful movie adaptation, I had worried that there would never be another…
Batman Incorporated #0 finds Bruce Wayne going on world tour, rounding up vigilantes for his crime-fighting army. Is this a good entry point for a sometimes difficult series? Major Spoilers has the review.
