When one of Batman’s most famous stories gets an animated adaptation, you KNOW Major Issues is on the case! Based on the Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee story of the same name written in 2003, Batman Hush takes Bruce Wayne back to his detective roots, and does its best to honor the source material while offering fresh surprises for those who follow the comics.
There is still the Catwoman /Batman action the story is famous for, with some added twists and turns along the way. In the film, Batman’s enemies are acting stranger than usual, and a mysterious bandaged puppet-master seems to be at the center of the chaos. Featuring cameos from the greatest rogue gallery in comic book history, a love affair between masked vigilantes, and some painful blasts from the past, can the World’s Greatest Detective solve this increasingly personal puzzle and find love?

What happens when you mix the best and brightest superheroes in DC’s pantheon with the very real ramifications of dealing trauma and mental health? You get Tom King’s 9 issue limited series entitled Heroes in Crisis. King, a former CIA agent in his own right is no stranger to subjects like PTSD, but how does his brand of storytelling gel with the rest of the DC Universe?
Follow along as we talk about Sanctuary, a safe haven for all heroes dealing with trauma. When multiple heroes turn up dead, it’s up to the Justice League to find the culprit in a story that tries to show us a different side of our favorite caped characters. Did King’s message come through? What does HIC say about mental health? We talk all that and more in our review of Heroes in Crisis!

The second installment of Holland’s web-slinging hero brings back the heart, humor, and spectacle of the first whilst turning the knob on the stakes way up. Now that MCU's Spider-Man has swung back into theaters and into our hearts, was the film any good?
FFH follows Tom Holland aka Peter Parker tries to navigate life post Avengers:Endgame. For the first time since his introduction, Spider-Man seems to not want the responsibility placed on him as the “next Tony Stark”, he just wants to be a regular kid. Luckily, on a tour of Europe, he finds a mentor in the form of Quentin Beck’s Mysterio, but as we learn in Far From Home, things are more than likely not what they seem!

Arguably the most adapted comic book story ever, The Dark Phoenix Saga is story of absolute power corrupting absolutely. Written years before such classics like Watchmen, Secret Wars, & The Dark Knight Returns, the Saga itself is emotional, daring, and the quintessential X-Men Story. From being adapted in X-Men The Last Stand, to its animated interpretation in the 90’s it was important to go back to the actual comic issues that made all of those worth it. Join us as Chris Claremont and John Byrne read us the most traumatic bedtime story ever, the always exceptional Dark Phoenix Saga.

A decade before the Marvel Cinematic Universe was a thing, 20th Century Fox had an idea. They wanted to introduce the characters they purchased from Marvel Comics, The X-Men on the big screen. Come the year 2000, they achieved their goal and that first X-Men film’s popularity would eventually let Fox create an entire franchise of interconnected films in the X-Men Universe. Sadly with the release of Dark Phoenix we will be seeing the end of these interconnected films, so it’s time to put on the rose colored glasses, look into the rear-view and X-Plore the X-Men Film Franchise!
