Peter Parker comes face to face with Aunt May and Gwen Stacy for the first time? Well, yes, because this is Ultimate Aunt May and Gwen Stacy (which this Major Spoilers reviewer thinks would be an awesome name for a wrestling tag team duo).

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 – “It’s Always Good To See The Madman Gang…” This year has, in my area, seen a huge influx of cicadas and whooping cough, two things that tend to cycle through every few years. The comics industry has similar cycles, as you can set your clock by the every three years return of Youngblood, or the bi-annual “Return Of An X-Man From The Dead.” Likewise, every few years you can count on the return of Mike Allred’s Madman or related characters for a few issues, but what happens when both Madman and Mike are out of the picture? Your…
With his Fables series so popular that two TV networks ripped it off, writer Bill Willingham found that there was enough demand to launch a spin-off series exploring other corners of his fictional universe. His first six-issue arc probes the pre-Disney origins of Sleeping Beauty, who is in a love triangle with Ali Baba and the Snow Queen, while a tiny, naked, blue man watches. Can a comic book really live up to that set-up?
The Creep #0 collects three episodes from the pages of Dark Horse Presents, setting the stage for a four issue miniseries starting in September. Is this issue so very special? Major Spoilers has the review.
Downed in the Pacific while testing his latest jet plane, Atomic Robo is rescued by the rag-tag group of flying females – The Flying She-Devils of the Pacific. The latest issue from Red 5 Comics has arrived, and you better believe Major Spoilers is ready to dive in with its review!
Or – “Nobody Promised Mitchell Shelley Forever…” The return of Resurrection Man as part of the New 52 last fall was one of the pleasant surprises of the relaunch for me. As a fan of the character’s original 1990’s incarnation, it always seemed a shame that only the Body Doubles survived the book’s cancellation, and that only through the power of sexy-sexy times. Now, Mitch Shelley again finds himself at the end of the road, but how does one kill what cannot die? Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
It’s Dinobot month in the Transformers titles, as Ironhide and the Dinobots set out in search of some missing Aerialbots. Meanwhile, Bumblebee is stressing over what to do about a possible upcoming election. Does this issue survive, or does it go the way of the dinosaurs? Major Spoilers finds out.
Hitting the #1 issue trend before it becomes all the rage with Marvel NOW! is Gambit. Is the solo book following the thief from the South worth your time? Major Spoilers gives you the low down ahead!
While most people complain about San Diego Comic-Con being taken over by major media outlets and losing its focus on comic books, consider the world lucky that it hasn’t been taken over by a horde of zombies like in Fanboys Vs Zombies! Major Spoilers takes a look at the BOOM! Studios title which has moved out of the convention center and into San Diego proper in what is touted as a “perfect jumping-on point for new readers!”
It is a hard country and the people must learn to live in it, or suffer sadness and sorrow. The Lone Ranger tale gives us a look at Tonto’s past, as Major Spoilers reviews The Lone Ranger #8.
Or – “Is It An Ending, Or A New Beginning?” Justice League International has been a strange title since the inception of the “international” squad in 1988 or so. This book has lived in the shadow of the Big Seven (or, as some call it “Big Six plus Cyborg”) title in the New 52, and now the team has suffered a major setback and a team death. Can they pull it together, or is there no hope for a real U.N. super-team? Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
Or – “Life In The Fast Lane? No, Life In The ONCOMING Lane.” Waaay back before Fables, Bill Willingham was part of the independent comics boom of the 1980s with The Elementals, a seminal comic that presaged nearly all of the trends of modern comic book storytelling. The concept of superhuman-as-celebrity is one that gets a lot of play these days, but Willingham was one of the first to examine it. Your Major Spoilers Retro Review awaits!
In Deadpool Kills The Marvel Universe, the Merc With A Mouth sets out to do exactly that. Is this title dead on arrival? Major Spoilers has the review.
