Last week we broke down the introduction of a brand new Ant-Man to the Marvel Universe. This week we review the second half of that story which follows reluctant hero Eric O'Grady as he tries his best to be a superhero while evading S.H.I.E.L.D. who want him arrested for stealing a super suit. The twist and turns don't stop there, as we see how Eric handles being a member of Damage Control, getting a new love interest, and a new best friend. Can he truly change? Is Eric turning over a new leaf? Make sure you check out the first part (Ep 134) of this review and then join us for its premature finale as we find out what's next for The Irredeemable Ant-Man!

Eric O'Grady is not your typical S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. He's lazy, aloof, and spends his days staring at a monitor in the surveillance room. His fellow agents seem more heroic, but O'Grady rather pick up chicks, sleep in and avoid responsibility at all costs. Unfortunately for our friend Eric, he comes into possession of a new and improved Ant-Man suit, and hijinx ensues. Join us as we talk about the most reluctant hero we have ever discussed: The IRREDEEMABLE Ant-Man

It is 4th of July weekend 2020, so we thought instead of tackling traditional patriotic heroes in the comic book lexicon, we would take a look at what is quite possibly the most patriotic hero ever. The “Sentinel of Liberty” himself, Captain America is known for his stars and stripes but as important as “The Man Behind The Shield” is, we are here to talk about “The Woman Behind The Man Behind The Shield”. That's right, for this episode of the Major Issues Podcast we will be discussing the entire series of Agent Carter, a show starring Hayley Atwell as longtime Captain America love interest Peggy Carter.
Travel back to the 1940’s after World War II, as we see how Miss Carter deals with the disappearance of Steve Rogers, while trying to climb the ranks of the SSR. With cameos by Howard Stark, The Howling Commandos, and Edwin Jarvis himself this show is a must-watch for the completionist comic book tv fan. Join us as we celebrate one of Marvel’s first independent female characters and discuss her journey from page to screen.

We never knew when starting this podcast that we would be the shepherds, leading new comic readers through some of the biggest DC Crossovers since Rebirth started, but here we are! We tackled Dark Nights Metal. We demolished No Justice and Flash War. Now to get ready for Death Metal, we are embarking on a journey to discuss what Scott Snyder is doing with The Justice League. Snyder, who wrote Metal and will write Death Metal placed his Justice League run right in the middle of these massive events on purpose. We get to see the Justice League dealing with the effects of No Justice and Metal and literally cause the events of Death Metal. Join us in this TWO PART epic recap of Snyder's JL with Part I covering Issues 1-19!

Picture it. You're a small town man, living his small town life. You have a beautiful wife, a growing son, and precocious little daughter. You've come to love your little community, and own a soda shop right in the middle of it. You play baseball with neighbors, know the sheriff on a first name basis, and spend most of your time serving members of your hamlet. Then, all of a sudden, dangerous men come into town. INTO YOUR TOWN. They think you're some guy named Joey who did some very bad things in the past, and they are here to get even. What would you do?
That is the plot of A History of Violence, a graphic novel written by John Wagner with Art by Vince Locke. The book was so successful it even had a motion picture adaptation directed by David Cronenberg and starring Viggo Mortensen! Which medium told a better story? Which did the hosts prefer? Let's find out!

Although it was a financial success, many saw Iron Man 3 as the weakest of the Tony Stark trilogy. In the search of how the mighty had fallen, we came across the original source material for the film. Written by Warren Ellis and published between 2005 and 2006 Iron Man: Extremis is the modern take on the Tony Stark mythos, and manages to give us just enough backstory to care about the future of the Armored Avenger. It also introduces Extremis, which is a big plot point in the film. So what are the big differences? How does the film stray from its source material? Which is the better story? All this and more will be explored in this arc-reactor powered episode of the Major Issues Podcast!

Not every story that is pitched to publishers sees the light of day. That's exactly what happened in the late 1980s when, off the success of Watchmen, its writer Alan Moore attempted to pitch a massive DC crossover event titled Twilight of Superheroes. The pitch was denied and the story never saw the light of day, but what if it did? In this in-depth episode we comb through all 33 pages of Alan Moore's pitch which is full to the brim with violence, depression and the derelict heroes that has made the writer famous. Join us as we discuss whether this project was ever worth making, and what impact the comics industry has had on Alan Moore's psyche. It is sure to be one HELLBLAZING episode!

“I'm the best there is at what I do, but what I do best isn't very nice.” That's the famous catchphrase from the clawed and flawed Canadian hero known to the public as Wolverine. From the comics to the big screen, with various forms of animation and adaptation in between, Logan is one of the most popular superheroes of all time. Mark Millar's Wolverine: Old Man Logan takes the character we know and love and puts him in a world we don't understand. A world without X-Men. A world with no Avengers. Most importantly a world where this Logan is a pacifist. Celebrated by many as one of the best Wolverine stories of all time join us as we talk Old Man Logan and its adaptation on the silver screen: Logan (2019) starring Hugh Jackman in his last portrayal of Wolverine!
