This week, the Major Issues Podcast heads back to Basin City to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Sin City (2005)! Join us as we break down Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller’s groundbreaking adaptation — from its striking visual style and all-star cast to its brutal, pulpy storytelling. We explore how the film changed comic book movies, whether its anthology format still holds up, and why Marv, Dwight, and Hartigan remain unforgettable anti-heroes. Two decades later, does Sin City still pack a punch? We’ve got the answers.

This week on the Major Issues Podcast, we're diving headfirst into SIEGE – Marvel’s all-out, no-holds-barred event where Norman Osborn loses his damn mind and decides it’s a good idea to attack Asgard. Yeah, that Asgard. With the Avengers scattered, the Sentry going full horror movie, and every hero caught in the crossfire, this four-issue war changes everything. We’re talking betrayal, redemption, brutal takedowns, and the fall of a madman’s empire. How did we get here? Who doesn’t make it out alive? And why does this event still hit so hard? Get ready – the road to Heroic Age starts here!

What happens when the world’s greatest villains masquerade as its most beloved heroes? In this week’s episode of the Major Issues Podcast, the gang dives deep into the first 9 issues of Dark Avengers by Brian Michael Bendis and Mike Deodato Jr.! Spinning out of the events of Secret Invasion, Norman Osborn has been handed the keys to the kingdom—and he wastes no time assembling a twisted version of the Avengers filled with killers, manipulators, and madmen. We break down the deception, power plays, and psychological warfare that make this title a defining chapter of Marvel’s “Dark Reign” era. From Sentry’s instability to Moonstone’s manipulation, and Ares’ reluctant involvement to Osborn’s descent into madness—nothing is off-limits.
