It’s time, once again, for you (our favorite people in the world) to pick the next trade paperback we will review on the Major Spoilers Podcast!
MIDNIGHT NATION
Writer J. Michael Straczynski’s classic tale of loss and redemption is collected in its entirety with all 12 issues, Midnight Nation #1/2, and a cover gallery. Also includes a touching and insightful afterword from Straczynski.
MISTER WONDERFUL: A LOVE STORY: DANIEL CLOWES
Meet Marshall. Sitting alone in the local coffee place. He’s been set up by his friend Tim on a blind date with someone named Natalie, and now he’s just feeling set up. She’s nine minutes late and counting. Who was he kidding anyway? Divorced, middle-aged, newly unemployed, with next to no prospects, Marshall isn’t exactly what you’d call a catch. Twenty minutes pass.
A half hour. Marshall orders a scotch. (He wasn’t going to drink!) Forty minutes.
EARTH-X
Collects Earth X (1999) #0-12, X. Spawned from the brilliant creative mind of Alex Ross, EARTH X is one of Marvel’s greatest epics. Along with writer Jim Krueger and artist John Paul Leon, Ross breathes life into and gives amazing detail to every facet of the EARTH X mythos – exploring the depths and heights of the Marvel Universe, from the roots of its humble beginnings to the peak of its ultimate potential.
GUNNERKRIGG COURT
Antimony Carver is a precocious and preternaturally self-possessed young girl starting her first year of school at gloomy Gunnerkrigg Court, a very British boarding school that has robots running around along side body-snatching demons, forest gods, and the odd mythical creature. The opening volume in the series follows Antimony through her orientation year: the people she meets, the strange things that happen, and the things she causes to happen as she and her new friend, Kat, unravel the mysteries of the Court and deal with the everyday adventures of growing up.

I’m so conflicted. They all sound wonderful.
I’m voting Gunnerkrigg Court.
Midnight Nation is my all time favorite comic. Cool concept, cross country journey, and some real heart. It will make you have all sorts of feels : ) Please stop voting for Earth X it is the poor man’s “Kingdom Come” and really just hot garbage.
