Major Spoilers Poll of the Week (POW!): Drinking Water Edition – Major Spoilers – Comic Book Reviews, News, Previews, and Podcasts
Major Spoilers – Daily Comic Book Reviews, News, Previews, and Podcasts
Discussion:
Murder… Intrigue… Old men doing bad things… Gould Kane is long into his retirement as a top cop. He was once the basis for the world-famous comic strip detective The Spook. But when a not-so-nice man, once nicknamed Mr. Murder, is found dead, the events that unfold could lead Gould to a new and perhaps even greater profession in his twilight…as a very bad man. MR. MURDER IS DEAD lives in several worlds. It’s all at once a throwback to the great staples of noir and pulp, while at the same time examining the real-life ramifications of our characters’ choices.
Mr. Murder is Dead is a “who didn’t do it” set in the fading world of Golden Age comic strips. A criminal’s lament to all things past, present and meaningless. Published in partnership with Zachary Quinto (“Star Trek,” “Heroes”) and Before the Door.

Great Show Guys, nice to see you getting back to your old self Stephen after being sick “WRONG!” loved it. Also you spoiled The Bionic Man, but that’s the whole point right, can’t wait to read it this weekend.
Hi guys, saw you played my message. The videos are really funny. It was a cool to get played but I will need to maybe mumble less if I call in again. Oh, and I have no affiliation with Valve.
Also, good episode, I liked this week’s poll.
