Or – “This Is The End, Beautiful Friends…” Matt Fraction’s Iron Man has been my favorite take on the character since Mark Bright and David Michelinie completed the original Armor Wars back in the day.  (It was literally Young Zack’s lifetime ago…)  Now that Fraction and Larocca are leaving, there is the promise of yet another new Iron Man #1 on the horizon, but nobody promised that Tony Stark would actually survive to be the one in the armor, did they?  Your Major Spoilers review awaits!

Or – “Is Everything Really As It Seems?” One (somewhat valid) criticism of the Avengers franchise under Brian Bendis has been that the characters never follow up on anything. Nazi agents attack Washington?  Set ’em up & knock ’em down! Aliens infiltrating your ranks?  Set ’em up & knock ’em down! One of your founding members blowed up?  Set ’em up & knock ’em down! You’d think that geniuses like these would know that things come back around to bite you if you don’t pay attention.  Your Major Spoilers review awaits!

The New Avengers are the B-team of the real Avengers. If you need proof of their 2nd class status, look to the fact that they are periodically preempted from their own book in favor of general Avengers’ stories when events and cross-overs mandated more “screen time” for the main Avengers. And that’s with Wolverine and Spider-Man on the team. Of course, they’re on every team. Bendis’ treatment of this team has swung wildly between Mary Sue and outright neglect. With Marvel Now! launching, which approach will he use to wrap up their story?

This series created a stir when it first came out more than a year ago. Peter Parker was dead and a new Spider-Man, Miles Morales, took his place. Since its arrival, Ultimate Spider-Man appeals to both old and new comic book readers. It combines the classic superhero origins and themes into an original modern story. Although he shares the iconic presence of his predecessor, Miles Morales is an all-new, all different Spider-Man.

Or – “File This Under A For ‘Ain’t Gettin’ Away With This Kinda Thing Today’…” I completely forgot that a couple of weeks ago was my six-year anniversary of writing for Major Spoilers.  This isn’t really surprising (I forgot October 4th last year as well), given my tendency to live twelve to fourteen seconds at a time, but it always makes me feel bad for not coming up with a spectacular blast of fireworks or something for y’all, the Faithful Spoilerites.  To that end, I racked my brains for something that would make this week’s Retro Review extra-special.  Silver Age…
