“Sex” is a provocative comic that looks into the private lives of superheroes and their foes. Simon Cooke is a billionaire and former superhero, attempting to live a civilian life at the request of his mentor, Quinn, after her death. His constant training and night patrolling have left him sexually repressed. While Simon’s friends help him adjust to retirement, his former foes lurk in the shadows, filling the vacuum created during Simon’s absence. His return has a domino affect on Saturn City, as the secrets of his superhero past slowly come to light.

ADVANCE REVIEW: Butcher Baker – The Righteous Maker #1
Or – “The Power Of Marketing In Action!”
Over the last few years, the comic book industry has become much more about promotion, about that killer idea, about promotion and perception of a book as much as the book itself. The recent promotional blitz for Morning Glories hooked me early, and brought me onto that title from day one with clever and attractive teasers (in more than one sense of the word.) When they followed those with the bizarre, endearingly vulgar promos that heralded this book, I was sure that we were looking at something special. Whether that something is a monster hit or a massive misfire wasn’t clear… until NOW.
Image Comics spills the beans on Butcher Baker, The Righteous Maker
While we’ve seen many of the teaser and cover images for the upcoming Butcher Baker, The Righteous Maker, we here at Major Spoilers have still been scratching our heads to to what exactly the story is going to be about. Image Comics let us in on the upcoming Mike Huddleston and Joe Casey collaboration and it does confirm what many of us suspected – adult material.
BUTCHER BAKER was the preeminent All-American superhero. A long time ago. Now, he’s getting laid… a lot. One last mission could return him to glory… IF he doesn’t screw it up.

Review: Superman/Batman #70
Superman and Batman are easily two of the greatest comic book characters ever to be created. Alone, they are legendary. Together, they are the World’s Finest.
