Once upon a time, a particular Halloween Retro Review consisted of a cliffhanger ending and a query as to whether we should move on to part two.  I joked about it being a six-year wait, but I wouldn’t be cruel enough to do that to the Faithful Spoilerites…

It’s actually been EIGHT years! 

As a reader and reviewer, I haven’t always been kind to Marvel’s Earth-1610 Wall-Crawler and the secondary universe that he pioneered.  But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t things the Ultimate universe got exactly right… 

Comic readers of a certain age and fan of 70s retro comics may be familiar with the ubiquitous ad for this comic, but the reality of it is something else entirely… 

It’s the story that changed everything and led to a whole new age of comics…  Your Major Spoilers (Retro) Review of Green Lantern #76 awaits!

For more than ten years, Shang-Chi, son of Fu Manchu, walked the way of the warrior…  Now, it has come to an end.  Your Major Spoilers (Retro) Review of Master Of Kung Fu #125 awaits!

Ahhhh, yes…  1966.  As you may recall, it was a year of Batmania, with comics once again in vogue:  Mild-mannered scientists of all stripes, pop stars, funny animals, random fat men, teen–agers, spies and even grocery clerks gained mighty powers, and the kids of Riverdale were no exception.  And where there’s heroes, there’s bound to be a villain, which is where Reggie “The Worst” Mantle comes in.  Your Major Spoilers (Retro) Review of Life With Archie #50 awaits!

Are you ready to read one of the finest bits of inspired folderal and nonsense ever to emit from the hallowed halls of DC Comics, Inc?  Your Major Spoilers (Retro) Review of Ambush Bug #3 awaits!

Once upon a time, a crisis so grave arose that all the Avengers who had ever been part of the team assembled to face it.  Of course, that meant fewer heroes than some modern lineups… and BOTH girls!  Your Major Spoilers (Retro) Review of Avengers #100 awaits!

Jaime Reyes, the current holder of the mantle of the superheroic Blue Beetle, has once again lost his monthly title.  In honor of another final ish of Blue Beetle, let’s take a trip back to a dusty old corner of the Silver Age and see how that worked out for one of the previous Beetles!  Your Major Spoilers (Retro) Review of Blue Beetle #54 awaits!

It is time, Faithful Spoilerites, for us to consider the story that I used to refer to as “The Dumbest Death Of Superman.”  Your Major Spoilers (Retro) Review of Infinite Crisis #7 awaits!

With the recent return of Jean Grey from the proverbial bleedin’ choir invisibule, it seems like an excellent time to look at her FIRST return from the clutches of death…  Your Major Spoilers (Retro) Review of Fantastic Four #286 awaits!

It’s a rule of comics: Life or death struggles for the fate of the entire world have to fall in favor of the valiant heroes.  Of course, rules are made to be broken…  Your Major Spoilers (Retro) Review of Protectors #20 awaits!

Sometimes our favorite comics are our favorites for straightforward reasons.  Sometimes, though, the reasons get complicated…  and so do the comics!  Your Major Spoilers (Retro) Review of All-Star Comics #36 awaits!

Have you ever wondered why with all the superheroes located on the East Coast, there aren’t a million super-villain teams just rippin; California to shreds?  You’re not the only one. (For my part, I just wondered why we spent so much time with the awful parents in their TV show.)  Your Major Spoilers (Retro) Review of Runaways #1 awaits!
