This week, on the Major Spoilers Podcast, the holiday tradition continues! Rodrigo is out, which means Matthew and Stephen can talk DC Comics Starman! The acclaimed series STARMAN, starring a Gen-X super hero from the 1990s, is re-presented in high quality format. In this volume, Starman embarks on a personal space odyssey to find the long lost brother of his girlfriend. But when a chance encounter sends Starman sprawling through time, Jack ends up sharing an adventure with the futuristic Legion of Super-Heroes, battling aliens alongside Adam Strange and meeting Superman’s father on a still intact planet Krypton. As always,…
While watching ‘The Simpsons’ last evening (for the first time in forever), I was struck by the fact that it was quite funny, even though the conventional wisdom seems to state that the show hasn’t been any good since 1994. While it’s true that part of my psychological makeup comes with an inherent distrust of what “everybody says”, I’ve long believed that you should hate something on an individual basis. Having recently watched Ryan Reynolds in ‘Green Lantern’, a movie that some people excoriate as awful, I can honestly say that I didn’t find it to be terrible. (That’s not…
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…
When I was young, I used to love coming home from school and checking out the adventures of the Transformers, G.I. Joe and lesser luminaries such as Jayce & the Wheeled Warriors. (They were pretty awful. Seriously, feel free to Google it. I’ll wait…) The fact that I could go to my local TG&Y and Duckwalls and purchase the plastic representations of my cartoon pals was, to my mind, nothing but a bonus. These days, the things that entertain kids like my Widget have a lot more scrutiny applied to them, with the expectation that there be some educational component…
I’m not gonna lie to you, Faithful Spoilerites. Yesterday was a rough one for your humble MS-QOTD, a perfect storm of derision, condescension, bad lunch and emotional turmoil culminating with the pizza joint losing my order. (Y’know it’s a bad one when my Twitter feed, containing the likes of Weird Al, Tom Lennon, Penn Jillette and Rodrigo can’t even cheer me up.) Fortunately, during the day, I was able to mitigate my ever-growing flash mob of “GRRR”, thanks to the calming influence of my favorite actress, and my evening was finally saved by watching Ted Mosby get beaten up by…
In this installment of Critical Hit: A Major Spoilers Dungeons and Dragons Podcast: The party must decide if they stay and accept offerings, or get the heck out of Tuberville. NOTE: Level 14 character sheets are now available at members.majorspoilers.com and the Critical Hit Logo T-Shirts are indeed at SlashLoot.com
With all the recent media furor about people who don’t know the difference between “notorious” and “meaningful”, or even how not to steal your ideas from more talented artists, it’s been a tough couple of months to follow the social media streams-of-unconsciousness. Luckily for me, I’ve been married for a long time, and I find it easy to drown out such recursive logic-bombs by wondering what ever happened to big brother Chuck Cunningham on ‘Happy Days.’ (Favorite theory: He met Mork first, not realizing that Orkans were actually the forerunners of Weeping Angels.) Those kinds of questions keep me sane,…
It occurred to me recently that Deadpool, a character that people seem to keep referring to as “new”, is actually a little over two decades old. For my part, I do occasionally enjoy the character, (I was a pull-list customer for ‘Deadpool Team-Up’ not so long ago) and I can clearly see that he has the malleability necessary to last the long haul in comics, much like Batman and Spider-Man. Still, my favorite part of any ‘Pool adventure is the fourth-wall breaking, wherein our hero (and the voices in his head) make reference to their existence as a comic-book character. …
Villains We Would Not Want To Meet Top Five is a show where the hosts categorize, rank, compare, and stratify everything… from cars to gadgets to people and movies. From stuff that is hot, and things that are not nearly as interesting – it’s Top Five. They’re mean, they’re bad, and all around not nice people, and this week they sit down and talk about the villains the would not want to meet.
Way back in the long ago, Dark Horse Comics launched Comics’ Greatest World! One of the characters introduced in that event what Elisa Cameron a.k.a. Ghost. The character has popped up again and again, and this week, Ghost pops up one more time.
As a youth, I was fascinated by my cousin’s copy of the Superman/Spider-Man tabloid comic book, knowing just enough about comics to realize that the two characters didn’t usually interact. Batman/Incredible Hulk followed, but it would be a decade and a half before they really started kicking out the metaphorical super-schmozz jams with Marvel Vs. DC, Spider-Man/Batman, Batman/Captain America and… Honestly, mostly just random guys with Batman, now that I think of it. There was an interesting miniseries in which a character with the epically uninspiring name of “Access” crossed back and forth, even merging the heroes together ala the…
