Major Spoilers Poll of the Week
It's the holidays, which means things are kind of slow around the Major Spoilers HQ, and with the Matthew and Zach fighting over who got the better holiday gift, we might as well do another fighty-fighty poll of the week.
Discussion:
Starman Omnibus Volume 5
The acclaimed series STARMAN, starring a Gen-X super hero from the 1990s, is re-presented in high quality format. In this volume, Starman embarks on a personal space odyssey to find the long lost brother of his girlfriend. But when a chance encounter sends Starman sprawling through time, Jack ends up sharing an adventure with the futuristic Legion of Super-Heroes, battling aliens alongside Adam Strange and meeting Superman's father on a still intact planet Krypton.
