After enduring all the dreadful events that occurred to her after the release of the Rage virus, we now find Selena somewhat safely ensconced in a Norwegian refugee camp. One might think that the absolute last thing she would consider would be a return trip to the British mainland but a conversation with a with a crusading journalist convinces her to do exactly that. The other members of the expeditionary force seem to regard her as more of a hindrance than an important part of the team but she soon shows her truth worth when they all come brutally face…

Or – “A Rarity In Comics: A Surprise!” For the last couple of years, we had been hearing rumors off and on that Marvel editorial was working on a superhero version of ‘Sex and The City.’ I figured that it would be another example of a series that would pop up, run the course of it’s in-jokes, and roll off the end of the pier never to be seen again. When issue #1 came out, I was surprised that not only was it more than the sum of it’s influences, it was a very enjoyable experience. Now, we get to see if…
In this issue: Mister Schleicher goes to London towne… Mrs. Brown, you’ve got a lovely Batgirl… Now that Tom Welling is here, what does this mean for THE FUTUUUURRRRE? Also: aliens come down, an’ the give me some chiclets, and give my brother this weird green ring. Out of the night, when the full moon is bright, he’s bold bold with his face, and his something something called Zorro. A dead-eyed ghost dog came out of nowhere and made me crash into the hospital! Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and deader than a squirrel on…
Project: Superpowers, the amazing re-vitalization of old public domain heroes, continues this week with the second issue of the second mini-series by Alex Ross and company, and I get the pleasure of checking out the preview issue that Dynamite Entertainment provided.
After discovering that a child’s laughter is much more powerful than a scream at the end of the Disney/Pixar 2001 film, Monsters Inc. has changed dramatically under the leadership of its new CEO, James P. Sullivan (also known as Sulley). The factories slogan has changed from “We Scare Because We Care†to “Going the Extra Mile to Make Them Smileâ€. “Scarers†are now “Amusers†and Sulley’s former partner, Mike Wazowski is at the top of the game.
One of the things* I love about the current Power Girl series, is how much fun the team of Gray, Palmiotti, and Conner inject into the adventures of a heroine not quite of this world or dimension. The fourth installment of the series is no exception, as Power Girl and Terra check out a slasher flick, take on Godzilla, and have a run in with the boys from The Big Bang Theory.
Or – “Boys Of An Unusually Superhuman Nature…” During the Hero History Project, I have taken a few liberties here and there in the manner and tone in which I convey the life and times of the various Legionnaires. One of the most controversial has been my use of the name Tom Welling to refer to Kal-El’s boyhood career in the LSH and elsewhere, a choice which has led many people to pointedly needle me, even going so far as to question my journalistic integrity. With tongue firmly in cheek, I would like to respond thusly… Point the first: I…
Some weeks, the Major Spoilers Art Appreciation Moment of the Day follows a theme, while other weeks, it is completely random. Last week (August 16- 21, 2009) we ran art that indeed did have a theme, we just didn’t tell you what it was. Now is your chance to guess to win the first three volumes of the Tank Girl trade paperbacks. Go back and give a look-see at the entries from last week (August 16 – 21, 2009), and see if you can figure out the theme. When you think you have it correct, send an email to contest@majorspoilers.com…

I’d like to start this review by being perfectly honest: I love Mystery Science Theater 3000. The premise of mocking bad movies is excellent, and the jokes are very smart, witty, and chock-full of film and pop culture references. I admit I joined in the MST3K fun late in the game – the first season I watched was the last season filmed. But through the magic of DVDs and the Internet, I have been able to relive virtually all the bad movies they covered. Needless to say, I was thrilled a few years ago when I heard that the writers…
