MSP#46: Heading for the Abyss

This week, we take a look at ninjas in the theatres, college kids in tights, DC’s big three in limbo, and a gaggle of costumed goodness.  Rodrigo expands his horizons, Stephen brings the snark, and Matthew… does whatever it is that he… y’know, does.  You can write the next Great American Theme song, The life and times of the Mates, and a special bonus feature: How to spell “Bizarro!”  Join, us, won’t you, as we gaze into the Abyss, only to find Frank Gorshin giggling back at us.  Why is it Frank Gorshin, you ask?  I have no idea…  But The Major Spoilers podcast is on the air!

TRADE PAPERBACK REVIEW OF THE WEEK
Abyss from Red 5 Comics
by Kevin Rubio (Author), Lucas Marangon (Author), Nick Schley (Author), Andrew Dalhouse (Author), Troy Peteri (Author)
Eric Hoffman was your average son of a single-parent eccentric billionaire, until the day he discovered a family secret — his dad is actually the world’s worst super-villain, ABYSS. Now Eric tries to redeem his legacy and stop his father’s plot to destroy San Francisco with the help of a killer robot, and the City by the Bay’s greatest heroes, ARROW and QUIVER. If only he could convince them he’s on their side. Join the dysfunctional costume-hero comedy adventure from the warped mind of Kevin Rubio, creator of parody film web phenomenon “TROOPS” and the creative team behind comedy smash “Star Wars: Tag and Bink”.
