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!

Every generation has its landmark cartoon series. In the late 2000s a concept for merging the popular Teen Titans and Young Justice comics into one show emerged. That show would be called Young Justice and it would change how people viewed the DC Universe forever. We spent years begging for a serious interpretation to our modern-day folklore and we were given a team of angsty young heroes, hell-bent on proving they have what it takes to change the status quo. With tons betrayal, love, identity and heroics, Young Justice was ahead of its time. Join us as we go through all three seasons of this amazing show!

The world has become a very unpredictable place. With misinformation at every turn, citizens are starting to lose hope in the things they always stood for, wondering if the old way of life has become too "old fashioned". Seems like that was also the case in early 2001 in the offices of DC Comics as they wondered if their first hero Superman, needed to change with the times. That brings us Action Comics #775 where a question is asked; What's So Funny Bout Truth Justice & The American Way? In the issue, Superman meets The Elite, a no-nonsense teel of vigilantes that challenge his code of Ethics. Will the man of Steel be swayed? Tune into this review and find out!
