It’s the 100th episode! This time, I have a fun conversation with J.T. Krul, who has written many excellent tales, but most recently has been working on Superman Beyond, Jirni, Soulfire and a novel! We even talk a little bit about the recent Man of Steel movie, so be sure to listen in! Then I give brief reviews of the books I thought were great that arrived in comics shops on Wednesday, August 11, followed by the latest “News & Previews!” Everything wraps up with a blast from the past ... a portion of my interview with Scott Snyder from Episode 29 in which he discusses the life experiences that helped him become a writer and what he thinks about Batman makes him such a special character! Next week: Episode 101!

This week on the Major Spoilers Podcast: Hellboy and the B.P.R.D., The Flashpoint Paradox gets the animated treatment, Flash is headed to the small screen, genie butts and more! NEWS Flash headed to the small screen LINK REVIEWS STEPHEN Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox animated movie When time travel allows a past wrong to be righted for Flash and his family, the event’s temporal ripples prove disastrous, creating a fractured, alternate reality where the Justice League never formed, and even Superman is nowhere to be found. Amidst a new world being ravaged by a fierce war between Wonder Woman’s Amazons and Aquaman’s Atlanteans, Flash must team with a grittier, more violent Batman and government agent Cyborg to restore the continuity of Flash’s original timeline.

[rating:3/5] ZACH GRIT #1 [rating:2.5/5] Major Spoilers Poll of the Week In between the running, jumping, hollering, and general mayhem that occurs in the Major Spoilers HQ when The Boys (aka Stephen’s children) are playing, there is a considerable amount of time spent playing video games. While some of us have little time to sit down in front of the gaming console, others spend far too much time pressing up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, start. Which brings us to this week’s moment of deep soul searching. How many hours a week do you play video games? Discussion: B.P.R.D. Hell on Earth Volume 5: The Pickens County Horror and Others Writers: Mike Mignola, Scott Allie Artists: Jason Latour, Max Flumara, James Harren, Becky Cloonan In these horrific tales showing the world going to hell, a reclusive vampire clan and a deadly mist create a disastrous mission for a trespassing B.P.R.D. crew; another team investigates an abandoned warehouse in Chicago, only to discover the site of a hundred-year-old magical ritual with shocking revelations about man’s prehistory; and Hellboy appears in a story about Professor O’Donnell’s trip to the secret library of a dead necromancer.
