I ended up having a lot of people drop by the house this past weekend (Fri-Sun) and completely forgot to post this yesterday.

On tonight’s Major Spoilers Podcast, the panel will dive into another of their Top 30 Trade Paperbacks - Teen Titans: The Judas Contract.

Written by Marv Wolfman

They were Earth’s teenage defenders — unbeatable and unstoppable. Riding high, they took an eighth member — a young girl — into their ranks.

She was their downfall.

In the ’80s, THE NEW TEEN TITANS was DC’s most popular title and a huge sales success. The series reached a high point with the multi-part storyline now reprinted in this new edition featuring the epic that played on comics readers’ expectations and offered shocking revelations and surprising twists at every turn. Included are THE NEW TEEN TITANS (Volume One) #39 and 40, TALES OF THE TEEN TITANS #41-44 and ANNUAL #3.

THE JUDAS CONTRACT is by the fan-favorite team of writer Marv Wolfman (CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS) & penciller and cover artist George Pérez (Avengers, WONDER WOMAN), with inkers Dick Giordano, Mike DeCarlo and Romeo Tanghal.

From the retirement of Robin and Kid Flash, to the birth of Nightwing and the introduction of Jericho, to the ultimate betrayal of a Titan — “The Judas Contract” kept readers positively riveted during its initial run and still has fans talking today.

If you would like your comments included in the show, please get them in before 7:00 PM (CDT) tonight!

Or - “He’s Back, Dammit!”

I have a confession to make.  I am an internet nerd.  I remember BBSes, I played on the USENET years ago, and even had my own brush with Intarweb stardom.  Once upon a time, I was known on certain minor posting boards as “The Lizard King.”  My claim to mediocre fame was the creation of the “BMF List,” a list of fictional characters who were worthy of carrying Jules Winnfield’s famous wallet from Pulp Fiction, the one that said Bad Mother F&*#er.  One of the  earliest entries, indeed the one that I recall as inspiring it all, was a little clay dinosaur named Prickle, friend to Gumby the little clay boy.  I return now, to the fields of yore, to see if it’s really true that you can never go home again…

Yes, some days you can’t get rid of a bomb.

I meant to do this hours ago, but my car burst into flames to celebrate the season.

In addition to Major Spoilers and the hundreds of other things I do throughout the week, I also host a weekly podcast - The Coolness Roundup: The Tech Show for Everyone!  My gizo-obsessed friend Charlie White and I have been doing this podcast for well over a year and a half and we are super excited to be on “the bird”.

In this week’s episode, we’ll be talking about the Goats and Gods of 2006, picking out the great and the not-so-great companies and products from that wild and woolly year of 2006. Plus, we’ll have our patented Rapid Fire Roundup® of Cool Products we’ve seen during the week. Join us tonight on Sirius Stars 102 at 12:30AM Pacific Time on Sirius Satellite Radio, or you can listen to the podcast version of the broadcast here.

It’s the end of our first year, and we want to celebrate by having you decide the best and worst titles for 2006.  Was it Ultimate Spider-Man’s Clone Saga, DC’s 52, or something more obscure (like the new Flash).  We want to know!  Simply send us your list of the best and worst the year had to offer along with a short reason why, and will post the results the first week in January.

Send those emails to best@majorspoilers.com, and put in the subject line “Best and Worst of 2006″.

Looking forward to seeing what you thought rocked, and what deserves an unbagged slot in the nickel bin.

Quarterly reports from Marvel Comics were announced today.  The good news, net sales are up, but the bad news is net income is down.  However that isn’t stopping Marvel’s expectations of greater results for the remainder of this year, and greater things to come in 2007 (i.e. movie franchise).  Take the jump to read the ‘ahem’ exciting press information.
