Scott Snyder and Sean Murphy have proven themselves as more than capable of great storytelling in the medium of comic books. Now, the two have teamed together to bring us The Wake, a new horror mini-series from Vertigo. Major Spoilers dives in deep to find out what lurks below.
REVIEW: Time Warp #1
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!
REVIEW: Hellblazer #300 (of 300)
Or – “I’ve Been Putting Off Reading This One…”
I’ve been readin’ comics for a very long time. Titles have come and gone, characters and universes swirling down the drain month after month, but Hellblazer has remained. Since The Reagan Administration, I’ve been picking up every issue of this book (even the really awful ones) and I find the concept of a world without Hellblazer to be one that’s somehow a sadder place. Still, time is an illusion, so they say, and lunchtime doubly so, and there’s no reason to dilly-dally any longer. The end of one of my personal eras of comics is here, and your Major Spoilers review awaits!
REVIEW: Fairest #11
Rapunzel rocks it feudal Japan style, recounting her tale of murder, political intrigue, bloody revenge and hairballs. Lots of hairballs. Also, Mayumi asks the question, “Why so serious?” Major Spoilers attempts to answer after the jump.
REVIEW: Ghosts #1
Or – “Well, I’m Not TOO Far Behind…”
On Wednesday, the ghosts and goblins came out to scare us out of our minds, and to allow us all to unleash the slutty truth within us. DC Comics also tapped into the holiday zeitgeist, unleashing an old favorite on the world with little fanfare, but is it a fright-fest or a huge mess? Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
REVIEW: Fables #122
Despite common, non-comic reader misconception, comics are more than just underwear perverts boxing with villains. Exhibit A is this title: Fables, which is near the top of my list of comics to recommend to comic book newbs. But after 122 issues (has it really been ten years?) is there a bottom to the public domain well from which Bill Willingham is drawing? Or can he re-contextualize the classic tales ad infinitum? Broaden your mind, after the jump.
REVIEW: Spaceman #9
The final issue of Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso’s neo-noir dystopian tale of kidnapping, reality TV and LOLspeak has hit the stands. Major Spoilers reviews the wrap-up.

REVIEW: Fairest #6
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?
