Major Issues Ep 78: The Dark Phoenix Saga (1980) Comic Review!

ComicBook CliqueComment

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.

ComicBook CliqueComment

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!

Major Issues Ep 76: Cosmic Ghost Rider Vol.1: Baby Thanos Must Die (2018)

ComicBook CliqueComment

When an alternate universe Frank Castle was on Death’s door after a battle with Thanos, he had one wish.... “I would give ANYTHING to PUNISH that purple Son of a B*%$#”. That was all the demonic Mephisto needed to hear to make a deal with Frank and make him the Ghost Rider aka the Spirit of Vengeance. Since then it has been quite a long journey for Castle, as he became the herald of Galactus, was embued with the power cosmic, and became the Black Right Hand of The Mad King.

Fast forward to his defeat by the hands of the Silver Surfer, and you have the beginning of Cosmic Ghost Rider Vol. 1 Baby Thanos Must Die. This 5 issue miniseries written by Donny Cates with art by Dylan Burnett is beautifully insane in its concepts and tragically amusing with its premise as a time traveling Frank Castle tries to murder Baby Thanos before he can’t grow up to be the Mad Titan and worse, The Mad King.
