The Don is not completely digging Tom King's Batman run, and thought it would be a good idea to read some of King's earlier work, more specifically his critically acclaimed run on The Vision in 2016. Boy, Oh Boy...where to start with this one? From deep themes of humanity and sentience, to nuanced views on mental health and what it means to be normal, Tom King's 12 issue (two volume) run on The Vision is a bonafide master class in deconstructing the superhero genre. With Yogi, as his co-host, The Don hopes to unpack the metric ton of thematic elements that is this book! We cannot stress enough how good this story is, so do us a favor a pick it up so you can join the conversation!

The first season of DC Universe’s inaugural show is over, and when the dust settled how did we feel about "DC’s Titans"? This week The Don is joined by GT Rebirth and Yogi for a no hold barred discussion reviewing the first live action iteration of one of the most famous teams in comic; The (Teen) Titans. From Beast Boy to Robin, Raven to Starfire and with a mix of Hawk and Dove, DC didn’t pull any punches in this series. Take a deep dive as we talk history of the team, comic book continuity and marvel at the very adult situations tackled on this show. Did it live up to expectations? Was Kory’s outfit that bad? Did Dick Grayson’s butt get its due? Most of those questions and more will be answered on this week Major Issues Podcast!

An airtight sequel is hard to come by these days. It seems like every studio under the sun NEEDS an interconnecting universe of films now. This means sometimes what could once stand alone as a fantastic first outing for a franchise, ultimately gets bogged down by unnecessary sequels. Comic book franchises have these issues in spades, as fundamental misunderstandings of what made the first film work, often leads to very very very bad sequels.
From disco dancing down the street to peeing fire out the wazoo, these missteps in comic book media exist, and on this episode of Major Issues we do our best to cover the Worst Comic Book Movie Sequels of All Time. Joining The Don this week is comic book media commentator and podcast aficionado Peter Melnick of The Marvelist podcast. Do they have the same parameters for what makes a bad sequel? Listen now and find out!

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!
