REVIEW: Batman #19
Who would cause Bruce Wayne to use a gun? And is Bruce’s greatest foe really Jim Gordon, as the book’s cover asks?
REVIEW: Invincible Universe #1
Cecil Steadman was always a busy guy. His typical day in the office involved teleporting all over the place and coordinating superhuman responses to super villain crises. The came Mark Grayson and his misguided, immature utilitarian ethics. And a dinosaur.
REVIEW: Uber #0
Uber #0 is Kieron Gillen and Canaan White’s latest offering for Avatar Press. Can this story about Nazi supersoldiers in the waning days of the Third Reich live up to one critic’s expectations?
REVIEW: Miss Fury #1
Nazis in New York? And Marla Drake, a.k.a. Miss Fury, thought she was just out busting some common criminals. Though she’ll be the first to tell you she’s not a superhero, it looks like it’s going to fall to Miss Fury to stop these time-travelling National Socialists from rewriting the history of the world.
REVIEW: Earth-2 #11
Welcome to Earth 2, a new universe where old Golden Age heroes are revamped for the modern era. Over the past ten issues, DC Comics has gradually reintroduced classic heroes and villains into this universe. Without Superman, Batman or Wonder Woman to look after them, these superheroes have branched out on their own. However, with the return of Steppenwolf, do they have the strength to take on Apokolips?
REVIEW: Thanos Rising #1 (of 5)
Or – “Hey, It’s That Guy From The Credits!”
With a certain purple-skinned Eternal getting some high-profile attention, it was pretty much inevitable that we’d get to see more of his adventures. What I didn’t expect was for them to expand his backstory to provide a psychological reason for his demented brand of evil. The question is, does it work? Your Major Spoilers review awaits!

RETRO REVIEW: Superman Annual #11
Or – “Remember That Time When Jason Todd Was The Most Useful Superhero Of All?”
During one of my recent online conversations, the subject of Superman came up, and how he is perceived as boring is never vengeful. Now, when it comes to comic book history, I don’t ever want to be the “Ummm… ACTUALLLEEE...” guy, but I name-checked a few moments where the Man Of Steel wasn’t a big blue boy scout, including this ish. The response was that not everyone has ready cash and easy access to the full scope of comics history, which is perfectly reasonable. Of course, given that *I* already own the issue, and we have this recurring thingy that we do here at Major Spoilers where awesome issues of years past get another moment in the spotlight, I realized that we were staring down the barrel of the rare win/win situation.
Once upon a time, The Man Of Steel had the worst birthday ever, and your Major Spoilers (retro) review awaits!
REVIEW: Animal Man #19
Or – “What The French, Toast?”
The WTF month gimmick has some potential to it, although I’m not sure that I’m on board with everything they’re working on. This issue follows up on the tragic events of Rotworld with a focus on the personal toll for the Baker family… Your Major Spoilers review awaits.
