You can only attract new readers if they know about you.
I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before on this site, but after reviewing IDW Publishing’s Ghost Whisperer #1, the idea has bubbled to the surface once again, “Why aren’t publishers advertising their wares on television?”
Oh, here’s a most excellent poll for the Major Spoilers Podcast this week.

It was Spring Break here at Stately Spoiler Manor and while we didn’t have the Girls Gone Wild Bus parked in front of the Manor, we did have some sweet items to share with the world.
Saturday: The Boys!
Sunday: RASL scores high marks, as does X-Factor #29
Monday: Hero History: Sun Boy, T-Bird and Throttle, and Marvel Adapts the Stand
Tuesday: Mighty Avengers #9 and #10, and Wow Figures excite
Wednesday: The first seven issues of Thor get the treatment on the Major Spoilers Podcast (KRAK-A-DOOOOM!), Wulf and Batsy from Viper Comics gets an early review, and Michael Cera is Scott Pilgrim
But the reviewer, Stephen Schleicher, is very complimentary, and his in-depth analysis of certain intentionally ambiguous story situations made me very happy. I like making my stories a little ambiguous and I love it when people are intrigued enough to try and figure them out!
-Bryan Baugh, creator Wulf and Batsy.
Thursday: Atomic Robo concludes, the Last Defenders Begin, and Kevin Conroy is the Batman again
Friday: I want legal HD Downloads of first run movies, Shadowpact reviewed, and Zombie He-Man.
This is only a start. Check out the archives for all the goodness that transpired during the week!
There are a lot of new pictures and what-not over at the official Iron Man site.
OOoooooo- BABY! I can’t wait for this film to hit my local theater.
Speaking of theaters, let me go off on a tangent for a moment. I was having a discussion last week on one of my other podcasts The Coolness Lounge. There, I questioned fellow co-host Charlie White on if he thinks people would shell out $25 for a HD quality download rental of a movie the day it is released in theaters.
Take the jump for my ramblings on the topic.
You may have noticed your comments appearing a lot faster than normal - like right away for most of you. The reason is this; Akismit has done an excellent job separating the spam from the real comments, and to encourage you to comment more often, I’ve turned off moderation for anyone who already has a comment approved on the site.
For those who have never commented, you still go into moderation stasis until it is approved, but after that you should be good to go.
Going unmoderated does not mean the higher ups aren’t keeping a watchful eye on comments. The same rules still apply - be polite, even if you disagree. Make your comments meaningful. Syaing something sucks does not make it so, justify your reasoning. Those that make the Major Spoilers world turn still have the ability to delete comments, or place those that are being Forum Trolls on the ban list.
Speaking of Forum Trolls, the above image comes from Scott Johnson and his Sketch-a-Day project. You can find all his sketches here.
Hey everyone!
Next week on the Major Spoilers Podcast, we’ll be reviewing Emerald Dawn, the modern retelling of Green Lantern/Hal Jordan’s origin story during the Trade Paperback segment of the show.
We really want YOU to be a part of the show, especially with these collected trade reviews. If you’ve read the series and want to voice your opinion, head over to the Major Spoilers Forum and post your thoughts. We’ll include the best comments in the show.
We record the Major Spoilers Podcast on Tuesday evenings, so get your comments in now!
If you prefer to record your comments (2 minutes of less), you can always send an MP3 file to our podcast email address.
This is a shout out to all the Harvey Dent supporters in the Kansas City area. The Dentmobile will be in several locations around the area on Friday, March 21st, and you might want to get out for some photo and publicity opportunities.
Kansas City, KS
March 21st:
Sadly I won’t be in the areas myself until Planet ComiCon April 5 and 6th, but Major Spoilers readers in the KC area, head on down and help out the Warner Bros. viral campaign…because we all know the Dark Knight movie needs more publicity.
Oh, and if you do make it to the Dentmobile and get your picture taken, I have a prize for the first person who sends me their picture holding the Major Spoilers sign in front of the Dentmobile (no Photoshopping allowed).
Occasionally I get an email asking what is on my pull list. The list fluctuates from month to month, but if you head over to the Major Spoilers Forum, you’ll find my pull list from the March 2008 Previews catalogue.
And don’t forget there are plenty of other discussions going on right now in the myriad of other categories in the forums.
If you missed it, the latest issue of the Major Spoilers Podcast is available now. The panel discusses DC’s New Frontier - Absolute Edition, and the New Frontier DVD. We also go over The Spectacular Spider-Man animated series, and discuss the costume design for the Watchmen movie.
I don’t usually ask readers for help - except your continued devotion to all things Major Spoilers (ha!), but please do us a big favor and tell your friends, folks hanging around the comic store, your neighbors, classmates, and so on. We’ve had a lot of positive feedback from listeners and we need all the support we can get in getting the word out.
The next issue (up Wednesday) features the panel reviewing Thor issues 1-6, and lots, lots more!
You may have noticed a couple of additions to the sidebar ->

If you get a chance, check out his webcomic - it’s quite funny, and then head over to the forums and chat it up about your favorite topic.
Otaku USA has a great article on how to review manga titles the correct way.
This could really catch on, and I’m thinking to help the movement, Major Spoilers should set up our own comic book tasting marathons. Of course we’d turn it into a drinking game with the following rules:
Take a drink when:
