REVIEW: The Phantom Stranger #4

Or – “I’m Always A Little Leery When The Coach Wants In The Game…”

Dan Didio is a polarizing figure in the comic industry.  Whether you love him or hate him, it’s clear that he has very specific ideas about what does and doesn’t make for good comics.  His last few writing gigs (O.M.A.C., Outsiders and Metal Men) haven’t really impressed me, and two of them ended in the cancellation of the titles in question.  Will the revitalized version of one of DC’s oldest mystic types be the game-changer for him?  Your Major Spoilers review awaits!

REVIEW: The Phantom Stranger #0

Posted on by

DC is releasing fifty-two zero issues in an attempt to give a jumping on point for people that did not come on board with the New 52 from the get go, and as a way to re-tell the origins of those heroes who’s continuity was still confusing post-Flashpoint. In some cases, such as that of The Phantom Stranger, they are changing origins radically. Does the new origin work or is it a dud? Find out with this Major Spoiler’s review!

Madame Xanadu Debuts in June

Posted on by

MXAN_Cv1.jpgWe last saw Madame Xanadu in her brief appearance in DC’s Countdown, but coming in June, readers can learn more about her many adventures as Matt Wagner (Grendel and Mage) and Amy Reeder Hadley team up to bring Madame Xanadu to Vertigo Comics.

MADAME XANADU is a gothic love story between the mysterious Madame Xanadu and the Phantom Stranger. Their fraught, unconventional affair first blossoms in the final days of Camelot and develops over centuries, in the court of Kublai Khan, on the ships of Marco Polo, in London’s notorious Whitechapel district and on the streets of Greenwich Village.

The first issues arrives June 25, 2008, and will sell for $2.99.
