Calvin vs. Charlie Brown\\n
I love it when fine Spoilerites (like you) write in with comments and suggestions about the site, or offer up an idea for the Major Spoilers Poll of the Week. This week, Silvergray returns with a battle that is a bit bizarre and one we would really be interested in seeing play out.

\\n\\n

This week, it\\u2019s a battle of the comic strip stars! In one corner the star of Calvin and Hobbes, the six-year-old with the imagination \\u2013 CALVIN! In the other corner, the kid with the bald head and a father who is a barber \\u2013 Charlie Brown!

\\n\\n

FIGHT!\\n
Who would win in a fight? Calvin or Charlie Brown

DISCUSSION: Planetary Vol. 1: All Over the World and Other Stories

\\n\\n

Collecting the stories that first introduced the world to Planetary, this graphic novel features the adventures of Elijah Snow, a hundred year old man, Jakita Wagner, an extremely powerful and bored woman, and The Drummer, a man with the ability to communicate with machines. Infatuated with tracking down evidence of super-human activity, these mystery archaeologists of the late 20th Century uncover unknown paranormal secrets and histories, such as a World War II supercomputer that can access other universes, a ghostly spirit of vengeance, and a lost island of dying monsters.
