REVIEW: Avenging Spider-Man #19
It’s kind of funny…Ock-Spidey has, for me anyways, been more appealing in books where the character teams with the rest of the Marvel U. than in his own title. Cross this opinion with the return of one of Marvel’s cult-hit-heroes and you have a book that could very well reek of awesomeness or put you to sleep. Check out the Major Spoilers review of Avenging Spider-Man #19…

REVIEW: Fearless Defenders #3
Or – “An Interesting Start For A New Book…”
A couple of years ago, Marvel put out a book called “Girl Comics,” which featured some of their most recognizable female characters put together by female creators. While it was a step in the right direction, there were some great flaws in the execution. This book, while still featuring mostly male creators, features three of Marvel’s most interesting female charactors working together. Will this issue impress as much as the previous two?

REVIEW: Thanos Rising #1 (of 5)
Or – “Hey, It’s That Guy From The Credits!”
With a certain purple-skinned Eternal getting some high-profile attention, it was pretty much inevitable that we’d get to see more of his adventures. What I didn’t expect was for them to expand his backstory to provide a psychological reason for his demented brand of evil. The question is, does it work? Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
