When Alan Moore first wrote "For The Man Who Has Everything", for Superman Annual #11 he set out to tell a story that explored the Man of Steel's deepest desires. Still considered one of the best single issue stories of all time, the duo behind Watchmen churned out an instant classic that had ripple effects on the comic book medium. Almost 20 years later, the story has been adapted in animation, has had its elements replicated in live-action, and just as recently as the year 2020 has spawned a comic sequel of sorts. Join us as we discuss that Superman issue, its adaptation on both Justice League Unlimited and Supergirl, and the two-part Justice League story Garden of Evil in this ode to all things Black Mercy!

Quite possibly the most popular supervillain in comic book history, The Joker has managed to stay relevant and on the tongues of fans for 80 years. During that time he has adapted and evolved as different creative teams do their best to make their version of the Clown Prince of Crime memorable. DC’s has chosen to commemorate those 8 decades of the dastardly degenerate with a 100-page Super Spectacular, giving the best and brightest artists and writers a shot at celebrating the Harlequin of Hate. In this deep look at the Joker we see why he’s managed to stick around so long, and discuss what makes the sick clown tick in this episode of the Major Issues Podcast.

In 2014, a film was released that changed the way we think of comic book movies, raccoons, and cassette players. That film was James Gunn's Guardians Of The Galaxy and with it's release came an awesome amount of heart, humor, and heroics from a team most knew nothing about! Over half a decade later Star-Lord, Groot, Rocket, Drax, and Gamora are household names sharing screen time with Iron Man and the Mad Titan Thanos himself. Join the Don as he's joined by Peter Melnick, self-professed Star-Lord Superfan and cohost of The Marvelists podcast. Peter has some great insights, manages to compare the franchise to another space fairing juggernaut, and had a grand ol' time recounting this beloved film from memory!

Eric O'Grady is not your typical S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. He's lazy, aloof, and spends his days staring at a monitor in the surveillance room. His fellow agents seem more heroic, but O'Grady rather pick up chicks, sleep in and avoid responsibility at all costs. Unfortunately for our friend Eric, he comes into possession of a new and improved Ant-Man suit, and hijinx ensues.

That's right, for this episode of the Major Issues Podcast we will be discussing the entire series of Agent Carter, a show starring Hayley Atwell as longtime Captain America love interest Peggy Carter. Travel back to the 1940’s after World War II, as we see how Miss Carter deals with the disappearance of Steve Rogers, while trying to climb the ranks of the SSR. With cameos by Howard Stark, The Howling Commandos, and Edwin Jarvis himself this show is a must-watch for the completionist comic book tv fan. Join us as we celebrate one of Marvel’s first independent female characters and discuss her journey from p

Picture it. You're a small town man, living his small town life. You have a beautiful wife, a growing son, and precocious little daughter. You've come to love your little community, and own a soda shop right in the middle of it. You play baseball with neighbors, know the sheriff on a first name basis, and spend most of your time serving members of your hamlet. Then, all of a sudden, dangerous men come into town. INTO YOUR TOWN. They think you're some guy named Joey who did some very bad things in the past, and they are here to get even. What would you do? That is the plot of A History of Violence, a graphic novel written by John Wagner with Art by Vince Locke. The book was so successful it even had a motion picture adaptation directed by David Cronenberg and starring Viggo Mortensen! Which medium told a better story? Which did the hosts prefer?

Although it was a financial success, many saw Iron Man 3 as the weakest of the Tony Stark trilogy. In the search of how the mighty had fallen, we came across the original source material for the film. Written by Warren Ellis and published between 2005 and 2006 Iron Man: Extremis is the modern take on the Tony Stark mythos, and manages to give us just enough backstory to care about the future of the Armored Avenger. It also introduces Extremis, which is a big plot point in the film. So what are the big differences? How does the film stray from its source material? Which is the better story? All this and more will be explored in this arc-reactor powered episode of the Major Issues Podcast! If you can, please leave us a review on ITunes so we can grow our audience and grow as podcasters!

Not every story that is pitched to publishers sees the light of day. That's exactly what happened in the late 1980s when, off the success of Watchmen, its writer Alan Moore attempted to pitch a massive DC crossover event titled Twilight of Superheroes. The pitch was denied and the story never saw the light of day, but what if it did? In this in-depth episode we comb through all 33 pages of Alan Moore's pitch which is full to the brim with violence, depression and the derelict heroes that has made the writer famous. Join us as we discuss whether this project was ever worth making, and what impact the comics industry has had on Alan Moore's psyche. It is sure to be one HELLBLAZING episode!

“I'm the best there is at what I do, but what I do best isn't very nice.” That's the famous catchphrase from the clawed and flawed Canadian hero known to the public as Wolverine. From the comics to the big screen, with various forms of animation and adaptation in between, Logan is one of the most popular superheroes of all time. Mark Millar's Wolverine: Old Man Logan takes the character we know and love and puts him in a world we don't understand. A world without X-Men. A world with no Avengers. Most importantly a world where this Logan is a pacifist. Celebrated by many as one of the best Wolverine stories of all time join us as we talk Old Man Logan and its adaptation on the silver screen: Logan (2019) starring Hugh Jackman in his last portrayal of Wolverine!
