REVIEW: Avengers #4

Or – “We’ve Got Nearly Half A Dozen Hyperions To Choose From…”

The Marvel Universe is a long-lasting and diverse place, which means that certain characters have had a LOT of divergent takes.  Hyperion, for instance, was introduced as a villain, whom we late discovered was based on an extra-dimensional hero, after which a third Hyperion appeared, and then we’re cha-cha-ing.  When the latest H-Man appeared as part of Captain America’s latest Avengers team, I was intrigued and now it’s time to see what’s up with his backstory as he faces off with the villainous Ex Nihilo.  Your Major Spoilers review awaits!

REVIEW: The Manhattan Projects #8

Posted on by

What happens when you twist history and rebuild it based on whatever weird and wacky thought that comes to your mind? If you are Major Spoilers, you hire a band of crazed people from around the world to write for your site. If you are Jonathan Hickman, you bring the Illuminati, aliens, astral projection, robots and Nazis together under one roof. And that is going to cause some problems.
