This week on Major Issues, the guys dive into the massive 2026 crossover event Superman / Spider-Man #1. Mark Waid and Jorge Jiménez lead the charge with a story that finally pits the Man of Steel and the Web-Slayer against a Brainiac and Doc Ock alliance. The crew weighs in on whether the chemistry between Clark and Peter lives up to the hype and if Waid’s love for comic history makes this a modern classic or just a heavy dose of nostalgia. The episode also breaks down the dense lineup of backup stories and the high-profile teams behind them. They shout out the Lois and MJ spotlight by Tom King and Jim Lee, the chaotic Jimmy Olsen short by Matt Fraction and Steve Lieber, and Christopher Priest’s meta-story with Daniel Sampere. With additional contributions from creators like Sean Murphy, Jeff Lemire, Greg Rucka, and Gail Simone, the hosts debate if this oversized special justifies its price tag or if it’s just a flashy celebration of the Big Two playing nice again.

This week on the Major Issues Podcast, the hosts revisit Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice ten years later to unpack one of the most divisive superhero films ever released. They break down Zack Snyder’s ambitious vision, the film’s heavy themes around power, fear, and godhood, and the controversial choices that sparked endless debate among fans. From Batman and Superman’s ideological clash to the film’s legacy within the DC Extended Universe, nothing is off the table. Did time soften its reception or reinforce its flaws? The hosts take a fresh look at what worked, what didn’t, and where BvS ultimately stands in the superhero movie canon a decade later.
