This week, we offer up another series of After Show Discussion shows. These are conversations the Major Spoilers Crew has outside of the normal show, and range from sex in comics to our favorite animated features. In this installment (recorded July 30, 2008), Stephen and Matthew talk about DC history and characters that keep dying and coming back to life again and again. From Monstress getting blowed up real good, to Black Canary getting her canary cry back, and that tricky Ra’s al Ghul. Wait for the trade or get the single issues? Stephen spells out his Writing for the…

The azure bug is out of a home! And so’s the giant squid! And so’s the Rat-man! For a change of pace, Batman fights the Joker… Kirk gets his ride pimped… Constantine gets his groove back… And Rodrigo ends up sword-fighting his way past the palace guard and riding out of town in style, only to end up huddling in an inn while a reality storm passes overhead.

This week’s ephemera: Former Captain America Steve Rogers is STILL dead, but at least he’s out of development hell! It’s night in Hyboria… do you know where your children are? And, cyborg versus cyborg in a no-holds barred chair-swinging extravaganza smackdown. Plus: all hell breaks loose, the pulps rise again, Archie’s girlfriend gets a new paint job, and… begun, this clone war has. Or, begun it will have been someday, this after which we are living now, or began, however that sentence did. Hmm.

This week on the Major Spoilers Podcast, we’re traveling to a galaxy far, far away to a time even older than long ago to examine Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Volume 1: Commencement.

From criminals hiding out in the treacherous under-city of the planet Taris, to a burly, mysterious droid recovered from the desolate landscape…

On the next Major Spoilers Podcast, Matthew and Stephen will discuss why they like, or hate, the Miller and Morrison runs on Batman. Matthew thinks Morrison’s Batman R.I.P. story line is the bee’s knees, while Stephen “gets” Miller’s All-Star Batman and Robin. We want to include your arguments on the topic. In the comments section give reasons why Stephen should like Morrison’s run, and Matthew should embrace Miller’s Batman. If your comments are intelligent and well written, they may appear on the show. Let’s keep it civil. Comments like “Miller sucks” or “Morrison blows” that are not backed up with…
This week, we take a look at ninjas in the theatres, college kids in tights, DC’s big three in limbo, and a gaggle of costumed goodness.  Rodrigo expands his horizons, Stephen brings the snark, and Matthew… does whatever it is that he… y’know, does.  You can write the next Great American Theme song, The life and times of the Mates, and a special bonus feature: How to spell “Bizarro!â€Â Join, us, won’t you, as we gaze into the Abyss, only to find Frank Gorshin giggling back at us.  Why is it Frank Gorshin, you ask?  I have no idea…  But…

UPDATE: There’s an audio error due to editing, where Matthew is out of sync for the first 45 minutes of the show. I won’t be able to fix this until later tonight, when I’m done with my video work.

Meanwhile, Rodrigo’s in the timestream, Stephen’s in Free Fall, and Matthew’s in Tower City, while Skrull Bryan decides that if he can’t take over the world, he’ll at least be the lord of Bogey’s drive-in… Plus: we know your mama dresses you funny, so…
