Major Spoilers Poll: Comic-Con International: San Diego Edition

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007--by Stephen Schleicher

The voting has closed for the latest Major Spoilers Poll.

COMICCONPOLL.jpg

Looks like there are a lot of people who will miss out on one of the biggest comic events of the year. 87% of you said you wouldn’t be attending. I feel your pain, as I will also not be attending this year due to baby commitments. Fear not! we’ll be providing as much information coming out of the con as we can.

So why aren’t you attending? Is it a distance issue, time commitment, fear of crowds, cost, work, or something else?

The closing of one poll, means the opening of another!

Major Spoilers Poll Results: Stark No Skrull

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007--by Stephen Schleicher

According to you, dear readers, Tony Stark isn’t a Skrull in disguise.

We reached way over the minimum 100 votes for this poll, which means it’s time for another poll!

The comic convention season is upon us, and the biggest of them all is San Diego. If you haven’t been, it is a great event that is a lot of fun, and even though it has been super packed these last couple of years, it is THE show.

So the big question is “Are You Going to the San Diego Comic Convention This Year?”

Fans Want Wally

Monday, June 18th, 2007--by Stephen Schleicher

Our non-scientific poll has closed, and fans have responded: They want Wally West back in the pages of the Flash!

Of course the poll ends just in time for Flash: The Fastest Man Alive #13 to arrive, marking the end of the series.  Will Bart die? Is Wally really coming back, or will it be pre-Crisis Barry Allen?  Come back on Wednesday for our first day release review of Flash for all the answers.

And with the closing of the Flash poll, it’s time to turn our attention to Marvel and one Tony Stark.  Is Tony a Skrull? Take the Major Spoilers Poll to the right!

Arriving Next Week at the Speed of Lightning

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007--by Stephen Schleicher

Many of you were probably wondering where your edition of Flash: The Fastest Man Alive #13, which was originally scheduled to arrive last week (June 6) disappeared to… um…you are reading the series, right?

DC Comics let us know the issue will ship next week (June 20), along with Justice League of America #10, and Countdown #45. JLA #10 concludes the lightning saga, and with Flash being the man that rides the lightning, along with the promo poster that shows a fallen “Flash” (presumably Bart Allen), could we be seeing the return of Barry Allen?

Don’t forget to take the poll! And let’s see what DC/JLA/Flash/LoSH has in store for us all. I’m still leaning toward Kal-L simply because of this page from JSA #1.

What do you think?

Playing the DC Odds:

Barry Allen - 10:1
Wally West - 25:1
Kal-L - 50:1
Earth-2 Lois Lane - 100:1
Ferro Lad - 10000:1
Blue Beetle - 1000000:1
Blok - 100000000:1

It’s Official - Spider-Man 3 “Just OK”

Thursday, May 31st, 2007--by Stephen Schleicher

The latest poll has reached the minimum 100 votes, and the largest number of you agree Spider-Man 3 was an OK movie. With all the chaos going on at Stately Spoiler Manor, I finally had a chance to see S3 this past weekend. I’m going to have to agree with the majority here. It was a fun and entertaining movie (especially since I was the only one in the theatre), but nothing too spectacular that had me gushing with uber-fanboy enthusiasm like I was at the end of Spider-Man 2. I think it was the killing of Harry Osborn and the fact the movie suffered from Too Many Villains syndrome. For some reason multi-villain stories work great in comics, but not on the silver screen. I think it has something to do with time limits, or budgets, or even lack of quality writing.

The good news? Spider-Man 4 is in the works, and it looks like we’ll be seeing Black Cat and Dr. Kurt Connor - The Lizard (and maybe even Kraven) take on the web-head.

Spider-Man III Tops Charts

Monday, May 7th, 2007--by Stephen Schleicher

s3sandman.jpgIt only took three days for Spider-Man III to make $148 million in North America, beating the previous record of $135 million set by Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest.

Does this mean a Spider-Man 4 is just around the corner?

Calling the results “spectacular,” [Amy Pascal, co-chairman Sony Pictures Entertainment] said the studio already was at work on the now inevitable “Spider-Man 4.” “We’re a lot further on than we usually are,” she said. “We usually don’t talk about the next movie until the current one is released, but we’re already talking about what we want to do in the next one.” She added that conversations about bringing back Raimi and the other principals would begin once a script is in place because “that’s what they sign on to do.”

Critics and fans have been pretty torn over the film, with some loving it, and some hating it with a passion. What did you think? Take the Major Spoilers Poll to the right!

DC’s World War III Poll

Monday, April 23rd, 2007--by Stephen Schleicher

ww3poll.jpg

Honestly, with all of the build up to DC’s World War III as part of 52, I was really disappointed with what I read.  I think issue #50 was much better in telling the story than following emo Martian Manhunter around for four issues as we watched C-list heroes get killed by a Black Adam.  And what the hell is up with issue #50 saying World War III Begins Here! when it actually began and ended making the four issue one-shots pretty much anti-climactic?

What did you think of DC’s WWIII event?  Take the poll and cast your vote.

Winner: Batman!

Readers have responded and according to you, Batman could kick Captain America’s butt if the two were to go toe to toe.

There is a new poll posted to the right asking the simple question, “Who would win in a fight; Batman or Captain America?” This of course presumes Steve Rogers is alive and not on a slab somewhere…
