This week on the Major Spoilers Podcast, the gang takes a look at Darwyn Cooke’s adaptation of Richard Stark’s Parker character in Parker: The Hunter.
The Hunter, the first book in the Parker series, is the story of a man who hits New York head-on like a shotgun blast to the chest. Betrayed by the woman he loved and double-crossed by his partner in crime, Parker makes his way cross-country with only one thought burning in his mind – to coldly exact his revenge and reclaim what was taken from him! Richard (Donald Westlake) Stark’s groundbreaking Parker books are adapted for the first time as a series of graphic novels by Darwyn Cooke. The initial graphic novel brings to life the first Parker book, The Hunter, which introduces readers to the dangerous anti-hero’s cold and calculated world of criminals, thugs, and grifters.

Thanks to the publicity from yesterday, Critical Hit: A Major Spoilers Dungeons and Dragons Podcast hit the front page of the iTunes Audio Podcast page (and the front page of the main iTunes Podcast page if you scroll to the right).
While we like to think we had something to do with the success of the show, it really has to do with all the great fans who download, listen, and leave 5 Star comments on the iTunes site. So here’s to you, the Legion of Spoilerites who do really great things!
Don’t forget, another episode of Critical Hit arrives Saturday!
…because wallpaper just sounds too PC. You didn’t ask for it, and you didn’t demand it, but I had a few moments, and needed to change my own desktop background (as I’m oft to do), so I whipped up this quick Major Spoilers background (1920×1200) for you to use.
What’s that? You want a Critical Hit background, too?
Are you ready to bring it? Are you ready to win some wall art from Fathead.com, or possibly a most awesome Atomic Robo statue? Are you prepared to dress up as your favorite comic book/pop culture character and prove to the world you have what it takes to be the numero uno?

Last year, we had a plethora of entrants. Let’s make this year even better than the last!
Leave it up to a fan to ask Ryan Ottley for a commission of Invincible and Superboy Prime fighting. It’s a cool concept and one we are happy to life for our own nefarious deeds. So, we ask you, the Legion of Major Spoilerites, in a battle, who would win, Invincible or Superboy Prime?
It’s a fight to the finish, if they ate their spinach!

I’ve got to be the collectible market’s dream come true. I seem to have an obsessive compulsive disorder that makes me a completest, as once I start collecting something, I’m driven to continue purchasing those items until the collection is complete. As someone who went through the 1990s rise and fall of the speculation market, it’s also been ingrained into my head that limited edition items should be kept mint on the card or mint in the box if one wants to have any hope of selling the items for a profit in the future. Having been on a major collecting kick for the last 10 years, a couple of things have become completely clear 1) I’m a pack-rat, and 2) the biggest foe to any collector has to be the packaging.
This week, on the Major Spoilers Podcast, the crew returns to the year 1152, to check in with the wee critters inhabiting the Mouse Guard universe with Mouse Guard: Winter 1152.

Sometimes I fear what is going through the mind of SkrullBryan. He’s the one that sent along the Poll of the Week for this week, and I guess from the Skrull point of view, one might spend endless hours pondering the crazy beard look – especially if you are from a race that has more than enough reason to want to cover their chins. Regardless of the mental state of our shape shifting friend, the big question remains…

This week, on the Major Spoilers Podcast, the crew will take a look at the second volume of the Surrogates series, called Flesh and Bone.
In a dark, downtown alley in Central Georgia Metropolis, a juvenile prank goes too far and a homeless man is killed. When the ensuing investigation reveals that the attackers aren’t who they appeared to be, justice depends on the testimony of a single missing witness – a street snitch with a history of providing information to a cop named Harvey Greer. Harvey is placed on special assignment to track down the informant, but others have their own designs, including a wealthy socialite and an ex-con turned religious leader known to his followers as The Prophet. As days pass and anger among the anti-surrogate population grows, the city stands on a razor’s edge. Will punishment be exacted in a courtroom or on the streets? Set fifteen years prior to the events of the original Surrogates graphic novel, Flesh & Bone sheds light on the past that binds the cast together. From the streets of Central Georgia Metropolis to the boardroom of Virtual Self, Inc., Flesh & Bone takes us on a journey through a city struggling to come to grips with its present. Not only a suspenseful thriller but also a cautionary tale, this book reminds us that tomorrow will be determined by the choices we make today.

This week, on the Major Spoilers Podcast, a listener calls in to pose a question to the Major Spoilers Crew:
Are comic book characters this generations modern myths in the way that Hercules, Zeus and the rest were to the olden age? Comic book characters do appear to fill out the role, but is it true or just a bunch of junk?
