Anung Un Rama. Big Red. Hellboy. With his reboot right around the corner, it seemed poetic to study what makes the demonic do-godder tick. From his explosive debut, to being featured on the big screen, Hellboy is the protagonist we never knew we wanted. We talk BPRD, Lobster Johnson, Guillermo del Toro, and rosted peanuts as the Don digs deep with Hellboy SUPER-fan Dalin Rowell and the incredible Peter Melnick of The Marvelists!

80 Years ago, draped in a dark cape and cowl, complete with fashionable purple gloves, Batman made his debut in the pages of Detective Comics #27. Fast forward to 2019, where the 1000th issue of this historically long running comic, promises to give us all the feels as Nostalgia takes a trip to Gotham City. Complete with stories written by visionary writers Scott Snyder, Tom King, and Paul Dini, Detective #1000 is the trip down memory lane that we hoped it would be, and the guys at CBC go into the rabbit hole, in this jam packed episode that pays tribute to all things Detective Comics!

Wanna hear a secret? Most of the hosts of the Major Issues Podcast are HUGE wrestling fans? What could wrestling have in common with comic books you ask? Well besides the facts that April bring both Avengers Endgame and Wrestlemania to our door, both mediums actually have alot more in common than you think. Listen to two genuine fans (of both forms of entertainment) talk highs and lows, dynamic costumes, unforgettable cliques and the never-ending fight between good and evil that has been going on since the dawn of time!

Captain Marvel is on the cusp of breaking ground for the Marvel Cinematic Universe as its first big-budget attempt at a female-led superhero film, adding a layer to the genre that was sorely needed. We've seen how great films like Wonder Woman can inspire a generation so here's hoping Captain Marvel follows suit, but that's not what THIS episode is about. One THIS episode we bring back a classic segment, "Which Was Worse" where we pit two maligned films against one another in a debate over which is truly the WORST film.
With Captain Marvel around the corner we've chosen 2004's Catwoman and 2005's Elektra as the films to go head to head. Nearly 15 years later, many tout these films as everything wrong with the superhero genre, but are both TRULY that bad? Is Catwoman definitively worse than Elektra or is the Scarlet Assassin the reason why it took us so long to get a competent female led superhero film? Tune in to find out!

Character Spotlight Time! This week the Don talks to Jason Estrella, cosplayer, comic reader and self professed Multiple Man fanatic! The two talk about the changling Jamie Madrox aka Multiple Man but why the spotlight on Ol' Madrox anyway? Well the character has been through some ups and downs over the decades and was even considered as the star of his own movie starring James Franco! He's made cameos in movies and video games and has even headed his own version of X-Factor.
Jamie is an interesting hero. He seems to not care and yet always goes out of his way to do good. He may not be as popular as his other X-Mates but that ends with this episode! Starting with his debut in Giant-Sized Fantastic Four #4 and leaded up to his most recent appearance in the 2018 Multiple Man miniseries we try to cover the multiple magnificent mishaps of Jamie "Multiple Man" Madrox!

HERE COMES A NEW CHALLEN- uh PODCAST! Blow off that cartridge, plug in your vintage controller, and get ready for a hell of a ride as we look back at 2010's Scott Pilgrim Vs The World, directed by (almost Ant-Man) director Edgar Wright. The film has a tremendous cast, which serves as a who's who of comic book media actors, while the stunning visual effects make sure you are never bored. It is also extremely accurate to its source material, the Scott Pilgrim series written by Bryan Lee O'Malley.
Once we get over the special effects, sick fight sequences, and hilarious "ripped from the pages" dialogue, we talk about the themes this movie presents, and whether or not we are supposed to like its quirky protagonist, Scott Pilgrim himself! We discuss why this movie was a financial failure, why it has such a cult following, chat about or favorite fight scenes, and do apt comparisons to the comic. Last but not least we talk in-depth about the film's alternate ending, why it does (or doesn't) work and who the TRUE HERO of this film is!

One Batch, Two Batch, Penny and Dime. The Punisher is a character that has transcended the pages of modern comics and has come into his own as a enigmatic anti-hero. While no portrayal is 100% accurate, Jon Bernthal's ability to transform himself into the One-Man-War on crime in DareDevil Season 2 and then his own show The Punisher on Netflix, most are ready to call him the best Punisher ever! On this episode we analyze the character of Frank Castle as depicted across the Marvel Universe on Netflix, starting with his dynamic debut against the Devil of Hell Kitchen, and ending with his final war cry as his series seemingly ends.
We talk the effects of PTSD on mental health, whether revenge could ever make someone whole, and try to walk in Frank's shoes as he chooses to fight for good while thinking he deserves none of it himself. We also spoil the heck out Season 1 & 2 of The Punisher, (and some Daredevil) so make sure you've done your homework before listening to our version of Frank Castle 101 courtesy of your friends at ComicBook Clique!
