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 – “A Mustelid Ate The President’s Face…” It’s been a while since we checked in with our friends in the Flatiron Building, and the latest updates from Boys-ville are not encouraging:  Hughie continues to waffle, Butcher’s control has been questioned, and Mother’s Milk has had a horrible revelation about his former family…  We’re on the downhill slide, and war seems inevitable.  The only question is:  What will set it off?

Or – “The True Test Of My High-School Spanish!” Before the Major Spoilers Podcast, I had never met co-host Rodrigo (though, in truth, I have never “met” the man in person) but I often find it remarkable the things that we have in common.  During break in recording sessions, the Major Spoilers team engages in bull sessions on all topics and once in a while, the topic turns our mutual appreciation of the wild and wacky worlds of professional wrestling. (The “our” here doesn’t usually include Stephen, who is perfectly content not knowing the difference between a wrist lock and…

Or – “Eight Bucks?  Does This Book Come With A Gatefold Girlfriend?” I’ve remarked about the tendency of comic book covers to be nothing but glamour shots of the team, and that tendency doubles when it’s an anniversary or milestone issue.  But I’ll say this for Fantastic Four #600:  They’ve at least given us a CHOICE of which goofy glamour shot we want… Of course, they’re all REALLY unattractive, but at least one features a pretty nice shot of Susan Richards’ derriere.

Or – “Trying To Recapture Wolfman/Perez Again?” The sad truth about the Teen Titans is that, out of eight different versions of the team, only one has really ever been overtly successful.  (That’s eight DISTINCT versions, not counting revamps within an existing run or team lineup changes within various teams.)  This version harkens back to the far-flung past year of 2003, but the team’s newest member promises to bring things into the 21st century…

Or – “Justice, Like Lightning, Should Ever Appear, One If By Land, Two If By Sea…” The Bronze Age of comics brought the winds of change, and though Luke Cage, John Stewart, T’Challa and others preceded him, Jefferson Pierce was DC’s first African-American headline character… Is his first swingin’ 70’s appearance Dy-No-MITE, or will this issue be a jive turkey?
