Press Release
The Hero Initiative, a charity dedicated to helping comic creators in medical or financial need, most proudly announces their new partnership in the Justice League Of America #50 project with DC Comics. This is the first collaboration with DC comics ever and Hero is chomping at the bit to pull the collection together. The call has gone out and dozens of artists are putting pen to paper. DC has generously donated 100 blank-covered cardstock copies of Justice League Of America #50 to Hero, and work is being created by well-known stars such as Jim Lee, Alex Ross, George Perez, Jason Bone, Jim Valentino, and many many more.
The Hero Initiative and Mark Waid are teaming with Ralphs, Food4Less, Cala Foods, and Bell Markets in California, Nevada, Illinois, and Indiana to get money into hands of comic creators in need. If you use your rewards card with the Community Contributions money goes to those in need.

Hey everyone!
I just wanted to take a moment and thank everyone who has subscribed to the Major Spoilers Podcast via iTunes, RSS feed, or direct download (hermit, I’m looking at you), as each new person listening to the show is helping us help the Hero Initiative.
To date, we have raised over $200 for the organization, but we are hoping to raise at least $300 more.
So tell your friends, tell your relatives, heck, tell all those guys hanging around your local comic book store to head over to the site and start listening to the Major Spoilers Podcast! Remember, the Major Spoilers Podcast is a completely free podcast (one of the many free things that you get here at Major Spoilers, even though we have yet to make a single dime in all of our two years), you aren’t being asked to contribute to the Hero Initiative because we are doing that for you. All you have to do is subscribe.
What is the Hero Initiative? Check out their site for the full info.
This week the panel members welcome Scott Johnson from Extra Life (www.myextralife.com) to the show to talk about webcomics, review Age of Reptiles: Tribal Warefare, Secret Invasion #1, Neozoic, Marvel Adventures Hulk, The Dark Tower, and the Foundation #4.
Note: This week we had a weird error occur in the recording. We kept the show, because we felt the content and information far outweighed any minor issues.
Listen to the Show!
A big Thank You goes out to everyone who downloads, subscribes, listens, and supports this show. We really appreciate you taking the time to listen to our ramblings each week. Tell your friends about the podcast, get them to subscribe and, in turn, help the Hero Initiative.
Listener Drive Raises Money for Comic Creators
The month of April is pledge month for the Major Spoilers Podcast (www.majorspoilers.com). But unlike other pledge drives that ask listeners to give money, Major Spoilers is flipping the tables and pledging money directly to the Hero Initiative (http://www.actorcomicfund.org/) to aid comic creators.
The Man Without Fear
This week the panel weighs in on the Seigel Superman case, review Dominion from Boom! Studios, Green Lantern #29 from DC, and Young X-Men #1 from Marvel. Brian recommends a couple of Hulk trades, Stephen makes a major announcement, and the panel takes a look at Frank Miller’s run on Daredevil.
