I’d like to say that these issues of Maximum Carnage reveal a spectacular plot twist that redeems the entire storyline.

I’d like to say that.

Maximum Carnage concludes. Part 3 of a two part trilogy.

Watch! more mindless fighting. See! plot twists from nowhere! Witness! some quite good art. And hear all about the nadir of the 90’s. More Maximum Carnage. Part 2 of a two part trilogy.

Hark! What light through yonder window breaks? ‘Tis Carnage! And he wants to rampage! For 14 issues! And we’ve read every single one of them to spare you the pain. No, don’t thank us. Just listen to Maximum Carnage Part 1 of a two part trilogy.

Arbitrary season finale? Check. Whoring out due to a new TV/Film? Check. Andrew and Micheal tackle THE LONGBOW HUNTERS, Mike Grell’s much lauded, criminally ignored re-invigoration of Green Arrow. He also has a new TV show out called Arrow! We are so shameless!

Andrew & Micheal wrap up Spotlight On with MIcheal’s final pick – Alex Ross. There’s a look at Justice #2 and Marvels #4 as well as examinations of two short stories, the Kingdom Come Epilogue and the Batman/Superman short from Mythology – the art of Alex Ross. There’s also the random conversation provoked by email and the much loved tangents.

More of the same silliness and banter about comics. You know what to expect by now. Except with added Garth Ennis! Coverage of Preacher #18, Hitman #8 & War Stories – D-Day Dodgers.

On the Eve of Micheal’s 17th birthday, he wrests control of the HeyKids Spotlight and shines it on his pick. Can you guess what it is, yet? Coverage of Batman #700, All-Star Superman #6 and The Invisibles #1

Andrew stands upon the roof of HeyKids Towers and shines the HeyKids spotlight on … PETER DAVID! 3 issues of David excellence in which Mike and Andrew talk about why the Star Trek movie GENERATIONS sucks, humour in comics and terminal diseases! Oh and at 1hr 15m Andrew does a dramatic reading!!!! How can you resist? Coverage of Star Trek #19, Amazing Spider-Man #267 and Incredible Hulk #420

What will be discussed in the email section this week? Your guess is as good as mine at this point but Micheal then has an uphill battle with his Spotlight, trying to convince Andrew about the merits of Frank Quietly. Does he succeed? There is only one way to find out! DOWNLOAD!!!!! Coverage of Flex Mentall #1, Batman & Robin #1 and some Dark Horse Presents.

Email discussion about Dark Knight Rises (again!) leads to a heated debate about a future JLA movie before Michael and Andrew turn the Key Kids Spotlight on John Byrne with a trifecta of stupendous stories from his golden period Alpha Flight 1, FF 250 and Batman/Captain America.
