When Steven Moffat recently announced that Peter Capaldi would be the 12th Doctor on the BBC’s long-lived Doctor Who, he set off quite a reaction among Whovians (fans of the show), including those who buy the comic book featuring characters from the program as well. Given past history, it’s going to take quite a bit of time for the new Time Lord to appear in the IDW comic.

Are you a fan of Masks and Mobsters, Ghosted or Captain Midnight? Then you’ll enjoy my conversation with creator Joshua Williamson, who scripts those excellent comics! He’s also contributed to Detective Comics Annual #2, which was recently released. We talk about many of his recent books as well as where he sees his writing going in the future. Don’t miss it! Then I give brief reviews of the books I thought were great that arrived in comics shops on Wednesday, July 31, followed by the latest  “News & Previews!” [podcast]http://traffic.libsyn.com/majorspoilers/wcomics98.mp3[/podcast] Direct Download Subscribe via iTunes Subscribe to the Major Spoilers…

Batman saves the world and loses everything.

A couple of years back when the Green Lantern motion picture was released, some critics complained that there were “too many superhero movies,” and that by the time GL hit the theaters, moviegoers were suffering from “superhero fatigue.” “We just can’t take this many superhero movies in one summer,” said one commentator. Now, we can debate the quality of the film, which is fine. But I’m intrigued that we’re not hearing about “superhero fatigue” nearly as much this year.

You’ll enjoy listening to my fun interview with Jay Faerber, creator of such great comics as Venture, Dynamo 5, Near Death and Anti-Hero. We talk about the various books he’s scripted, especially Anti-Hero, which you can now go to MonkeyBrainComics.com and get! Jay also talks about Starcrossed, a mid-season CW show he’s on the writing staff of. Don’t miss it! Then Gianluca Glazer joins me to discuss “News & Previews!” It’s his last segment with me on this podcast, so I wish him all the best as he embarks on new journeys in his life. Thanks so much for all…

Go west, young lady! Kate Bishop heads to Los Angeles – to get away from New York, life, and Clint Barton – but NOT trouble! But Madame Masque is hanging out at poolside with the rich and famous as well! Who is Kate Bishop? Find out alongside Kate Bishop herself as a wild new status quo comes to Hawkeye.

Can it be that San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) is over already? Yes, it is, but expect for news to continue to dribble out from the event on the Web over the next few weeks. It takes that long for some people to get around to releasing info they picked up there! (I had that problem when I was there, anyway!)

I’ve become quite the fan of Jeff Lemire’s work since he wrote Animal Man #1 back at the dawn of the New 52, and his work on this title continues to grip me!

Current estimates place the number of people attending this year’s San Diego Comic-Con to reach over 130,000. That’s a HUGE turnout, but it still can’t possibly include EVERY fan.  So, what do you do if you aren’t attending this year? For instance, I won’t be there, as I’ve mentioned previously.

The second chapter of “Zero Year” delves into Bruce Wayne’s past with the Red Hood Gang and his run-ins with aspiring District Attorney Harvey Dent! And in the backup story, a secret moment from Bruce’s training abroad is revealed for the first time!

I’m not feeling my best — “under the weather,” as the phrase goes — and that’s given me time to wonder, what if there was a town that was like downtown San Diego during Comic-Con all year long? Would you want to live there?

What happens when three super groups bump into each other? As Bugs Bunny would say, “Of course you realize, this means war!” This series focuses on the woman who may be behind the Trinity War!

You may have noticed that there’s been a reduced amount of comics news happening recently (the BOOM!/Archaia merger notwithstanding), but the flow of information from many comics companies seems to have slowed down significantly. Why is that? There’s this “little” event called the San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) happening from July 18 to 21, and it’s to blame!
