Major Spoilers #14: The Wanted Podcast




Major Spoilers Comic Book Podcast show

Summary: This time around: dolls in the sky, nobles in the dirt, frank rocks in the art house, and Eminem's in your face with a gun. Plus, "Art Thou Not Tyler Durden?", dead men don't wear capes, a general inability to refrain from our geekery, an almost certain overuse of the word "anyway", and a big "Bongiorno" from the Italian Spiderman. NEWS Italian Spiderman Rocks! Brad Pitt as Thor? What Looks Good From Dark Horse in August? A BIG THANKS GOES OUT TO DAVID M. and ERIC M. FOR DONATING TO THE SHOW! THANKS GUYS! REVIEWS Rodrigo: Sky Doll #1 (Marvel Comics) The internationally acclaimed best-seller is now finally presented in English! Meet Noa, a so-called Sky Doll; a life-like female android without rights, who exists only to serve the State's needs and desires. But when Noa meets two so-called "missionaries" who aid in her escape from her tyrannical master, all hell breaks loose for our cyborg siren as she uncovers clues that she may be much more than just a robotic toy. The first release in a new partnership between Marvel and cutting-edge French publisher Soleil! Stephen: Salt Water Taffy, "The Legend of Old Salty" (Oni Press) Eleven-year-old Jack Putnam and his eight-year-old brother Benny are being dragged against their will on a summer-long vacation with their family. And not to somewhere cool like Disney World, but to a little port town in Maine named Chowder Bay, far away from anyplace fun. But what promises to be a very bleak summer quickly becomes a series of exciting adventures in one of the most mysterious places on earth! Matthew: Nobel Causes #33 (Image Comics) Frost is the subject of a vicious attack – and wait’ll you see who the attacker is!
