It’s the first show of the 2019 reviewing one of the last comic book movies of 2018. (Trust us; we left this one for last for a reason!) On this episode of Major Issues, the guys of Comic Book Clique discuss Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. With the recent increase in Spider-Man’s popularity between the PS4 game, his inclusion in Infinity War and the Spider-geddon comic arc, you would think most, if not all of us, would be sick of the web shooting, wall crawling superhero by now!
I mean how many times can one hear about the spider bite that turned mild mannered Peter Parker into the amazing Spider-man we know and love? How can you redefine a timeless story for a new audience and better yet a new demographic? Spider-Verse does it and does it seamlessly. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, this gem of a film will have you gasping, laughing, crying and cheering and that’s in the first half hour. Wanna hear more? Check out this SUPER SPOILER filled review and discussion of all things “Into the Spider-Verse"!

It’s the bottom of the 9th, with bases loaded. DC Comics and Warner Bros are down 5-0 in 2018 with no live action films since Justice League (Nov 2017). The mysterious Aquaman is at bat and the whole world watches in a hushed silence, wondering if director James Wan’s epic tale of royalty and destiny can get DC on the board, and ultimately turn the tide for the studio as a whole.
But…did Aquaman change how fans feel about the DCEU? Is Jason Momoa the whiskey drinking, trident wielding, hero we never knew we needed? Where does one wash their clothes in an underwater city? Some of the questions (and MORE) will be answered on this week’s spoiler filled episode, where we take a deep dive into 2018's Aquaman!

It's the trailer everyone has been waiting for! The aftermath of The Decimation has left our MCU heroes in a bit of slump as they try to live in a world Post-Snappening. With minimal footage and even less visible plot threads to pull, see what we think of the Avengers: Endgame trailer and put on your tinfoil hat as we speculate wildly! Plus...
Red skies, alternate realities and devilish doppelgangers means we got another Crisis on our hands as CW gives us another epic crossover event with Elseworlds! Starting on The Flash and continuing through Arrow and Supergirl, Elseworlds is a hefty helping of fan service with a metric ton of comic book Easter Eggs and nods at DCs past. All this plus the debut of Gotham city and its resident vigilante Batwoman! Twist, turns, and ominous warnings are on the menu in this feast that just keeps on giving!

Remember, remember....the fifth of November. The Gunpowder treason and plot.
I know of no reason why the Gunpowder treason should ever be forgot! These are the first lines spoken in 2005's V for Vendetta based on the book of the same name written by prolific comic book writer Alan Moore. V for Vendetta is a thrill ride of vigilantism, with twists, turns, poetry and violence. Does it hold up almost 15 years later? Does the central plot reflect modern politics? What is the difference between the book and the film? All these questions and more are answered in this week's V for Vendetta Review!

Hello TRUE BELIEVERS! While it has been a sad couple of days for Marvel fans everywhere, we here at ComicBook Clique thought we would sit down and talk about the true visionary that was Stanley "Stan Lee" Lieber. There truly wouldn't be a Major Issues podcast without the contributions of Stan and his collaborations with many talented artists and writers over the years. Spider-Man, The X-Men, Fantastic Four....you name it and Stan had a hand in it. Pull up a chair as we dissect a truly awe-inspiring legacy that can never and will never be duplicated. Excelsior!

Episode 50 is upon us! Instead of doing a normal review this week, we decided to dissect the characterization of Superman in 2013's Man of Steel, and decide what it's effects are, on the DCEU. While GT Rebirth is a devoted MOS defender, The Don feels it has more problems than it lets on. Watch these two battle passionately over the soul of the last son of Krypton, all the while trying to answer the question..."What happened to the Man of Tomorrow?"

Being a hero may not be what it’s cracked up to be. At least that’s the lesson learned in the 2010 smash-hit Kick-Ass based on the 2008 comic of the same name. Kick-Ass follows Dave Lizewski (Aaron Taylor Johnson), a normal New York teenager, as he tries his hand at vigilantism, with some discouraging results. His journey puts him in the path of other heroes (Nicholas Cage & Chloe Grace Moretz), and villains (Mark Strong & Christopher Mintz-Plasse), but things definitely don’t go the way he planned. Directed by Matthew Vaughn with the comic written by Mark Millar, Kick-Ass was a tour de force when it hit theaters and bookshelves…but does it hold up? Lucky for you listeners the guys at CBC decided to review BOTH the film and the comic, in an in-depth review you do NOT wanna miss!
