Or - “Major Spoilers, Major Time Crunch! I Blame Stephen!”
Â

There’s a couple of reasons why I do what I do here at Major Spoilers… The first is, I love comics, and I know you do, too. (See what I did there?) I want you to look at Wednesdays the same way I do, with a combination of joy, expectation, and “What in the world will they do next?” Basically, I want to share the love.
Also, and possibly more importantly, I’m an attention whore. Problem is, I actually have two jobs other than this one, both of which tend to suck a lot of time out of my day. I’ve fallen waaaaaay behind in my daily reviews (or, honestly, my thrice-a-week reviews, lately) and in order to keep from reviewing things that came out three or four weeks ago, I’ve decided to give you some extra bang for your buck, with a smorgasbord of reviews that I’ve fallen behind on. It’s something like Friday nights when I was a kid, where you’d have whatever was in the fridge for supper, because nobody’s going to waste their time cooking for ya. Heck, if it works out, we may do this on a semi-regular basis to remind you of the comics that I probably couldn’t honestly see devoting a whole review to. And now, ON WE GO!

The final two installments of Moonstone Books solicitations for September have arrived, and if you are a fan of Buckaroo Banzai, there is a good chance you are a fan of Doc Savage too (I know I am). Coming in September the company will release the Doc Savage Radio Scripts written by Lester Dent himself! These lost scripts haven’t seen the light of day since the 1940s and many have never been seen before. Quite an addition to your Doc Savage trophy room.
More info and a Clash preview after the jump!
