Or – “Hal Jordan: The Triple H Of The Green Lantern Corps…” There are 7200 Green Lanterns in the universe…  An equal number of Sinestro Corpsmen. There are thousands of Star Sapphires, at least four Blue Lanterns, Agent Orange, a horde of Red Lanterns, and a dozen or so of the Indigo Tribe. So why does EVERYTHING in the endless reaches of the universe seem to revolve around one womanizing ex-truck driver from Coast City? Is it the hair?

As villains go, Clancy Brown has covered the gamut of wicked characters across every medium with sinister perfection – but never is his evil expertise so evident as when he steps behind the microphone as the voice of Lex Luthor. Brown reprises his benchmark role as the focal point of Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, the next entry in the popular series of DC Universe animated original movies. Warner Premiere, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation will present the all-new Superman/Batman: Public Enemies on Sept. 29 in a Blu-Rayâ„¢ Hi-Def edition, a special edition 2-disc DVD, and a single disc DVD. Warner…
Or – “Why I Expect So Much More From This Title…” There are those who say that the Justice League isn’t the Justice League without the Big Three DC heroes…  This, of course,  raises issues every couple of years when the creative teams have to work around a Dead Batman, a de-powered Wonder Woman or a Reign of the Supermen. The simple fact of the JLA (as well as The Avengers, I might add) is that the lineup doesn’t matter a whit… It’s what you do with them. This book SHOULD be the center of the DC Universe, it should…
For the past three weeks, I have been reviewing the series of one-shots introducing the MLJ/Archie Comics characters into the DC Universe. Instead of introducing these characters stories into the DCU through the originally planned Brave and the Bold series, plans where changed and Michael J. Straczynski instead introduced the initial four characters into a series of weekly one shots. We started with The Hangman, which I gave 2.5 out of 5 stars. The next week, Inferno was the character in the spotlight, and I gave him 1.5 stars out of 5. Just when things where starting to look really…
As word rocks the Intardwebz about Disney buying Marvel in a four billion dollar deal, we at Major Spoilers already see the best parts of the merger starting to form. Take the jump for our look at ten things you didn’t know about this new deal.
Or – “Whosoever Holds This Envelope Shall Possess The Power Of WILLIE LUMPKIN!” So, the end of the month is always problematic for me, in terms of multitasking. I mention this solely as an explanation of why this issue of Hercules (which came out two weeks ago) is being reviewed a couple of days after the delivery of the NEXT issue of Hercules (which came out on Wednesday.) After their adventure in the underworld, Amadeus Cho and the scion of Olympus have gone their separate ways. Hercules now has to take care of his own father, reverted to childhood, with only…
The Barony is under such a sustained attack from Farson’s cadres, that even the combined might of the Gunslingers crew may not be strong enough to withstand it. Meanwhile Roland Deschain is secretly released from gaol by someone who was considered unworthy to be a gunslinger but has since shown by completing several heroic actions that she has always had the full true measure of courage.
When you are a world renowned robot that has crossed paths with everyone from Einstein to Hawking, hanging out at a cafe with Dr. Carl Sagan talking about a creature from out of space doesn’t seem too crazy. A fear of bugs on the other hand…

“Believe it or not, I’m walking on air… no wait, that’s the other guy…†What would you do if discovered you had superpowers? Would you use them to fight crime? Become famous? Rule the world? Or would you prefer to keep a low profile, doing small good deeds here and there, but for the most part try to live a normal life? For meek Jefferson Reed, all he ever wanted was to get through life without being noticed. But after a freak encounter with a falling meteor (and a lot of prodding by his parents), he can’t help but be…
Matthew wants to talk Legion of Super-Heroes, and as usual, Rodrigo doesn’t want to have any part in it.
Screenwriter Stan Berkowitz guides another classic DC Comics graphic novel to animated glory with the September 29 Warner Home Video release of Superman/Batman: Public Enemies. Berkowitz brought Darwyn Cooke’s landmark Justice League: The New Frontier from pages to screen in 2008, and this year he’s converted the words of Jeph Loeb into a summer popcorn-style blockbuster with the crafting of the script for Superman/Batman: Public Enemies.
