This week we’re putting two of Dark Horse Comics characters into the ring to see who will walk away the victor. Will it be Eric Powell’s The Goon, or Mike Mignola’s Hellboy? It’s the battle of the supernatural fighters in this week’s Major Spoilers POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLL of the Week!
FIGHT!

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.
Taking a peek once again at Derek Fridolfs work, this time featuring Batman and Hellboy.
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.

Things are not well in jolly ol’ England
After the very excellent Crooked Man run, and the equally enjoyable In the Chapel of Moloch, it’s time to for a much larger and deep storyline that runs maybe as far back as the first issue in 1991. One thing that is a given, with Mike Mignola back, readers are going to be in for one hell of a ride.
Aw, crap…
It’s good to have Mike Mignola writing and drawing his most famous creation. Even though everyone who stepped in during his absence did a fine job, nothing is more steeped in the history of myth and magic than the research done by Mignola. In the Chapel of Moloch is filled with the historical references we’ve been missing.
For the 2nd Annual Major Spoilers Costume Contest, Major Spoilers went all out to get two great prizes for the big winner – the Hellboy Animated Maquette, and the Library edition of the the first volume of Hellboy. Both of these great prizes, and all you have to do is dress up in your comic book (and related) costume and snap a few pictures of yourself.
Here are the rules:
- Dress up in your favorite comic book costume
- Take several pictures of yourself in costume
- Take at least one picture of yourself in your street clothes
- Send those pictures to contest@majorspoilers.com by October 21, 2008.
- Sit back and see if you are selected as one of the top five entries.
- If you are nervous, enter more than one costume.
- The contest is open to anyone in the world, although you will be responsible for any import taxes when the prize crosses the border.
On or around October 21, 2008, the Major Spoilers crew will narrow down the entries to the top 5 (oh please let there be five entries), and post those entrants on this site. Then, we’ll let the readers decide who should walk away with the grand prize, which will be announced on October 31, 2008.
Get those entries in soon! You can’t win, if you don’t play!
Unfortunately, there’ll be no new Hellboy Animated movies following the stumble the movie had at the box office (don’t blame Hellboy, blame The Dark Knight). The third animated movie, The Phantom Claw, is being kept close to the chest until such a time the idea might be pitched to the Cartoon Network or other network featuring animated fare.
So what is writer/producer Tad Stones up to?

Hellboy II: The Golden Army came out on the top of the heap this weekend, bringing in an estimated $35.9 million at the box office. I went to check the movie out on Friday, and while it was a very good movie, I still like the first Hellboy flick better. The acting was great, the makeup and special effects superb, but for some reason Hellboy II felt a whole lot like the first Men in Black movie. I think it had something to do with the background gags and music.
Speaking of Will Smith, Hancock slipped 47% from last week, but was still able to bring in $33 million.
