    MAJOR SPOILERS POLL OF THE WEEK

    Major Spoilers Poll of the Week: Gotta Get Back in Time

    If you want to suggest a trade paperback, you need to send an email to podcast@majorspoilers.com. That suggestion will go into the hopper and at least once a month, we’ll pick a number of suggestions for you to vote on, and at the end of the polling period, the book with the most votes will get the Major Spoilers Podcast treatment.

    DISCUSSION
    BLADE OF THE IMMORTAL OMNIBUS VOLUME 1
    A cursed, seemingly immortal warrior aids a young girl in her quest for revenge. Samura’s massive manga series spawned an anime run, a spinoff novel, an art book, and a live-action film! Intense and audacious, Blade takes period samurai action and deftly combines it with a modernist street idiom to create a style and mood like no other work of graphic fiction! Collects volumes 1–3.

      Blade Of The Immortal, probably my favorite comic book series of all time (Lone Wolf & Cub as a close second) and the reason I got into manga. Its very much a conventional battle manga, but it has so many layers to it and clever character development that its actually interesting and it avoids a lot of manga and anime tropes. There are some changes and inconsistency in the art and story takes quite a bit of detours, probably because story and art is done by a single guy and he did it over almost 20 years. I love it anyway.

      Translated series ended in spring of 2015 and its 31 volumes, so you can pick up the whole thing now.

      What I want from Kevin Conroy in live action is for him to overdub the actor doing what always ends up basically being just a weak Kevin Conroy impersonation.

      (I’d far rather it be Ibbott than DiDio in Scooby)
