Or – “How Do You Fight A War When You’ve Sworn Not To Fight Anymore?”
So. You’ve decided to purge yourself of your magic so the enemy can’t find you. The enemy finds you and attacks, but you’ve given up your magic, so you can’t DEFEND yourself. Buffy and her band of slayerettes are about to find out what you do when your back is against the wall and you can’t teleport through it anymore…
Or – “Most People Don’t Know That His Full Name Is Manuel Labór.”
So, I have completed my daily labors, overseeing the dozen fellers and gals what make up the current workgroup to call themselves Team RamRod (”See, you’re Arkot Ramathorn… Ram. And I’m Rodney Farva… Rod. Team RamRod!”) and I am preparing to have some spaghetti and hang out with friends, but first I wanted to catch up with some of the many titles that I’ve neglected over the busy last days of August…
RAPID-FIRE REVIEW TIME!

Or – “I’ll Get You, My Pretty… And Your Little Centaur, Too!”
This would not the the first time that a young girl being chased by an evil witch fled to Oz in the hopes of finding her way back home…
(Of course, that means that Xander is probably Toto.)
With over 150,000 people crowding the convention center, everyone may not have been able to get to the Dark Horse panels for the day. Luckily, we have the highlights – and not the Goofus and Galant kind of Highlights either. These are the Major Spoilers Rapid-Fire Roundup of Comic-Con News kind of highlights (with a fare amount of Goofus).
At the con, Dark Horse announced a bunch of new projects that the company promises is the next evolution of the comics medium. Oddly, only one announcement (made yesterday) features anything to do with electronics.
Running down the list, I see one that Rodrigo will like in the form of Age of Reptiles. Even though IDW Announced its Archie hardcover collections, it looks like Dark Horse is also going to be offering one up. I’ll have to follow up on this one. There’s also a new One-Shot program coming out of DHC, with the mighty Conan getting featured in the first one. Also featured will be Hellboy, Goon, and Dr. Horrible.
Finally, Final Fantasy fans will feel fantastic over the phenomenal Final Fantasy Boxed Set.

Press Release
Over the years, Dark Horse has been committed to incorporating art into our everyday lives through prints, T-shirts, mugs, and a variety of other items that help make this world more colorful. With this in mind, Dark Horse is proud to collaborate with GelaSkins to bring over twenty new designs to their line of protective skins for laptops and phones.
Dark Horse Comics has sent Major Spoilers the solicitation information and cover images for October 2009.
Or – “This One Is A Game-Changer…”
What do you do when your greatest weapon is also your biggest weakness?
Go for the ‘Hail, Mary…’
Can’t believe another month has passed and we are about to be inundated with comic book solicitations from the various publishers – but not by those publishers who haven’t added us to the mailing list (you know who you are, and if you don’t, I’m sure the Major Spoilers Legion will contact you and ask you what is up with that).
September looks to be a pretty good month for Dark Horse, with more Buffy, Aliens, B.P.R.D., and Star Wars comics.

Could there really be a Buffy the Vampire Slayer coming ot the big screen? If you are wetting yourself over that thought, it will probably sober you up to know that Joss Whedon wil not be involved in the project. It sounds really weird not having Whedon involved in anything Buffy, after all, he was the writer of the first Buffy movie that featured the yummy Christy Swanson (not to be confused with Swanson’s pot pies, which are also quite yummy, but in a different way).
While Whedon is the person most associated with “Buffy,” Kuzui and her Kuzui Enterprises have held onto the rights since the beginning, when she discovered the “Buffy” script from then-unknown Whedon. She developed the script while her husband put together the financing to make the 1992 movie, which was released by Fox.
It looks like the new movie won’t have any connection to the series, instead rebooting the series in a new universe. Think of it as Ultimate Buffy, without the beloved Xander, Spike, Angel, or Cordelia. The details still haven’t been worked out, and Kunzui Enterprises have stated they haven’t reached out to Whedon yet, so there is still a slim, slim chance he could be involved at some point. However, considering the company is making the reboot announcement without consulting Whedon means he probably won’t be involved.
Or – “It’s Better Than Even Money That The Guy’s Only Doin’ It For Some Doll…”
Sinatra reference… Heh. I feel confident in sayin’ that this is probably the only time Ol’ Blue Eyes and the Chosen One will ever share a headline. I love the intarwebs. But can anybody tell me why Nona Mecklenburg is making out with a giant snot monster?
Dark Horse Comics sent Major Spoilers the cover images and solicitation information for titles arriving in July 2009. Take the jump to see what’s ahead for Buffy, Conan, and the new Alien series.
Or – “Sigh… Faaaaith. Mi Querida, Mi Amor… What Do You Mean ‘Restraining Order’?”
An episode of ‘Friends’ some years ago supposed the existence of “The List,” a grouping of five celebrities/public figures whom you would be allowed to have a dalliance with, regardless of what your significant other had to say about the situation. My list of five would so very much include Eliza “Faith” Dushku, presuming that she would have any interest in a 40ish comic nerd, and thus this issue holds special meaning for me, like the first time you hear the Beatles…
Or – “Last Survivor Of The Nerdly Trio…”
Though the television series adventures of Buffy the Vampire Slayer ended some time ago, the comic book continuation of all things Buffy-like chugs along apace. We’ve seen the lives of characters major and minor, from Slayers to exes to vampire airheads, as all the while one of my favorite characters toils in secrecy. The only man to ever outgeek Xander Harris, he somehow managed to make both Spike and Angel feel like out-of-touch losers… But what has the “Lost Season” of Buffy got in store for Andrew?
A vampire kitty? Swell.
The vampires have taken over – turn on the television, and they’re all over HBO, go to the theater, and Twilight is the flick all the girls are going ga-gag for. These vamps pale (no pun intended) to the franchise that made kicking vampire butt fun, but unfortunately in the Buffy-verse the vampires have become just as popular as they have in our world.
