Or – “That Other Thing That Kirkman Does…” With all the attention focused on The Walking Dead, it’s sometimes difficult to recall that Bob Kirkman’s zombie opus isn’t his original Image book. Initially launched as part of a line of teen-themed books, Invincible is now the last man standing, and its erratic publishing schedule has caused me to forget about it more than once. Now, the I-Team is back with another issue, and that cover promises that things aren’t going to be dull. Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
Press Release Criminal mastermind Jackson T. Winters has spent the last decade languishing in prison after his last heist went horribly wrong. Now, in return for breaking him out, a rich eccentric tasks him with capturing a ghost for the millionaire’s macabre collection in the new Image Comics/Skybound mini-series GHOSTED.
Or – “It Doesn’t Help That I Just Can’t Stand Negan…” I have been taken to task recently on the social media sites in my assessment that both the Walking Dead TV series and this book have jumped different sharks in recent months, leaving me unhappy with the storytelling (which is different from being unhappy with what’s happening in the story, something this book has always excelled at.) Will this be the issue that changes my mind? Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
Enter the dragon! Cecil’s arch nemesis, Liu, is dying and has lost control over the dragon inside him. Now everything’s getting wrecked and the Guardians of the Globe are pushing themselves to the limit and walking along the razor’s edge in an attempt to defeat the monster.
The next issue of Five Weapons by Bomb Queen writer Jimmie Robinson is here! After besting the Knife Club, imposter “Tyler Shainline” now takes on the staff club using only his wits as his weapon of choice. Will he be able to talk his way out of this one? More after the jump!
Cecil Steadman was always a busy guy. His typical day in the office involved teleporting all over the place and coordinating superhuman responses to super villain crises. The came Mark Grayson and his misguided, immature utilitarian ethics. And a dinosaur.
Diamond Select Toys is set to release the third wave of Walking Dead Minimates upon the world, and to prove it, they sent over the final packaging for the Toy “R” Us assortment.
The Greatest Superhero Comic in the Universe hits its milestone 100th issue, and things don’t look too good for Mark Grayson! Major Spoilers reviews Invincible #100 and lets you know if it lived up to the hype!
Or – “Don’t Ever Underestimate Kirkman’s Eldritch Powers…” After issue #100’s shocker, I had expected that Walking Dead might hit a lull, that the tension would slowly start to build again as we neared another conflict. That hasn’t happened, and after the events of last month, we may be about to lose another familiar face from the regular cast. Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
The Guardians of the Globe are back, but this time they didn’t bring Harry Potter! Phil Hester and Todd Nauck are given the reins of the Invincible spin-off series in this new ongoing from Skybound and Image Comics, and Major Spoilers gives it the twice-over!
Or – “Another Title That Is Maddening To Read One Month At A Time…” Long ago, I found myself giving up my monthly hold list slot for Neil Gaiman’s Sandman, because I couldn’t stand the wait for the next issue. It is rare for me to be the proverbial trade-waiter, but as my Walking Dead collection will attest, it still happens occasionally. With the recent WD season finale, I’ve found myself wanting to check in on Rick and the cast of post-apocalyptic whatever-state-it-is. I think the cover image is probably a a strong indicator as to how well things are…
