Picture it. You're a small town man, living his small town life. You have a beautiful wife, a growing son, and precocious little daughter. You've come to love your little community, and own a soda shop right in the middle of it. You play baseball with neighbors, know the sheriff on a first name basis, and spend most of your time serving members of your hamlet. Then, all of a sudden, dangerous men come into town. INTO YOUR TOWN. They think you're some guy named Joey who did some very bad things in the past, and they are here to get even. What would you do?
That is the plot of A History of Violence, a graphic novel written by John Wagner with Art by Vince Locke. The book was so successful it even had a motion picture adaptation directed by David Cronenberg and starring Viggo Mortensen! Which medium told a better story? Which did the hosts prefer? Let's find out!

Major Issues Ep 129: Iron Man: Extremis/Iron Man 3
Comment
Although it was a financial success, many saw Iron Man 3 as the weakest of the Tony Stark trilogy. In the search of how the mighty had fallen, we came across the original source material for the film. Written by Warren Ellis and published between 2005 and 2006 Iron Man: Extremis is the modern take on the Tony Stark mythos, and manages to give us just enough backstory to care about the future of the Armored Avenger. It also introduces Extremis, which is a big plot point in the film. So what are the big differences? How does the film stray from its source material? Which is the better story? All this and more will be explored in this arc-reactor powered episode of the Major Issues Podcast!

Major Issues Ep 128: Alan Moore & Twilight of Superheroes
Comment
Not every story that is pitched to publishers sees the light of day. That's exactly what happened in the late 1980s when, off the success of Watchmen, its writer Alan Moore attempted to pitch a massive DC crossover event titled Twilight of Superheroes. The pitch was denied and the story never saw the light of day, but what if it did? In this in-depth episode we comb through all 33 pages of Alan Moore's pitch which is full to the brim with violence, depression and the derelict heroes that has made the writer famous. Join us as we discuss whether this project was ever worth making, and what impact the comics industry has had on Alan Moore's psyche. It is sure to be one HELLBLAZING episode!

Major Issues Ep 126: Wolverine: Old Man Logan Recap and Review
Comment
“I'm the best there is at what I do, but what I do best isn't very nice.” That's the famous catchphrase from the clawed and flawed Canadian hero known to the public as Wolverine. From the comics to the big screen, with various forms of animation and adaptation in between, Logan is one of the most popular superheroes of all time. Mark Millar's Wolverine: Old Man Logan takes the character we know and love and puts him in a world we don't understand. A world without X-Men. A world with no Avengers. Most importantly a world where this Logan is a pacifist. Celebrated by many as one of the best Wolverine stories of all time join us as we talk Old Man Logan and its adaptation on the silver screen: Logan (2019) starring Hugh Jackman in his last portrayal of Wolverine!
