The Almighties are back, and moving in a new direction! Creators Sam Johnson and Mike Gagnon join me for an entertaining interview about the comic, its characters, and its future. Recently, they released The Almighties Origins, a free seven-page digital comic you can obtain through their website, thealmighties.com. Also, both talk about their upcoming projects, including Sam’s Geek-Girl and Cabra Cini, Voodoo Junkie Hit Woman. Be sure to listen! Then everything wraps up with a look at recent news, including December’s sales numbers, Cullen Bunn’s latest DC Comics project, and Image Expo 2014! http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/traffic.libsyn.com/majorspoilers/WComics115.mp3 Direct Download Subscribe via iTunes Subscribe…

Some books, as I’m reading them, just scream out to me that they must be reviewed! I always love a surprise, and Letter 44 #3 is actually chock full of them! I just HAD to share about this book, so here goes!

“In 2015, the cosmic adventures of Luke, Han, Leia and Chewbacca will make the lightspeed jump back to Marvel, to begin a new age of adventures within the Star Wars universe,” said a press release from Disney recently. It’s been big news here on MajorSpoilers.com as well as other comics news sources on the Internet. The question is, based on past performance, will that be a good thing?

We kick off the new 2014 year with a look at how things are going on the front lines of the comics industry – in a popular comics shop! You’ll enjoy my chat with Pete Casazza from the Big Planet Comics store in College Park, Maryland. Pete is both a fan and a businessman in the industry, so he notices trends and interesting developments in his shop. He talks about what went up and what went down in 2013, and discusses digital comics as well as how he feels many of the comics companies are doing. We both comment on…

Scott Snyder continues to work his magic on the Man of Steel in the best Superman title on the stands today! And the art just keeps shining!

The year 2013 may go down as one of the best years in comics in recent years. Every company was “upping their game,” and the quality of storytelling went up as well, in my opinion. To wrap up this year, I want to share what I consider the best of 2013 in several categories. I know some people list their top 5, 10 or even 100, but I’d rather just post  what I consider the best, then mention others that I feel really made it a memorable year. That doesn’t mean I didn’t love a lot more product than you…

We end 2013 at the Wayne’s Comics podcast with a great interview, the perfect exclamation point for the past year! You’ll enjoy my interview with Onrie Kompan from the Yi Soon Shin series of comics! We talk about how the book about a real hero came to be, and what’s coming in the future! And yes, you’ll hear Stan Lee’s name in this chat, so be sure to listen in! You can find out more about this excellent comic and order your copies at this link! Then I share my thoughts on the best of the past year before everything…

The “Forever Evil” event continues to shake things up in the DCU. Admittedly a small one in terms of number of releases, this week the fourth issue of this miniseries hit the stands! It’s all-out chaos as the DC Universe continues its march through darkness! War erupts across the Earth between the villains! Allegiances are formed! Rivals are murdered! And at center stage it’s Lex Luthor versus Batman – and their fight couldn’t come at a worse time as Deathstroke’s hunting party closes in on the world’s only hope against the Crime Syndicate!

Tomorrow will be Christmas Day, so the gifts will be given, unwrapped and enjoyed. But as a comics reader, I’ve often found this holiday to be somewhat disappointing. And I’ve often spoken with other comics fans, and many of you share my problem with Christmas (or even birthdays, for that matter).

Happy Holidays! It’s time for another special week at the Wayne’s Comics podcast, with two great interviews and my yearly holiday tradition! First up is Chris “Doc” Wyatt from Kickstart’s Suicide Layne. He discusses how the series came to be and what other projects he’s working on as well! Jeff Kaufman returns to the show next, and we chat about Angel Falling, his latest graphic novel! The book has a lot of personal meaning to Jeff, which he discusses. He also outlines future projects he’s creating as well! Then everything wraps up when I share my annual holiday tradition, playing…

It’s double trouble as Batman investigates Harvey Dent’s past to try to find him in the present—but is he ready to face the dark truth behind Two-Face’s origin?

Something interesting is happening in comics these days – stories that actually end!

“My, I bet you monsters lead interesting lives. I said to my girlfriend just the other day – Gee, I’ll bet monsters are interesting, I said. The places you must go, and the places you must see, my stars! And I’ll bet you meet a lot of interesting people, too. I’m always interested in meeting interesting people!” – my favorite philosopher, Bugs Bunny

You’ll find two more terrific interviews in this special episode of the Wayne’s Comics podcast! First up is David Schulner from Image Comics’ Clone. He discusses how the series came to be and that we just might see this book be translated to television in the near future! He also talks about BBC America’s Orphan Black and updates us on other projects he’s working on. I interview Peter Hogan next, and we chat about Resident Alien, a successful book available from Dark Horse! Hogan talks about this Concrete-like series and gives us some ideas about what is coming for Dr. Harry…
