Major Spoilers Podcast #1184: Blacksad, Corruption, and the Cost of Waiting

In this issue of the Major Spoilers Podcast: Marvel Tokon hits some turbulence, Disney Afternoon favorite TaleSpin returns to comics, and the Hellboy universe heads into steampunk territory with The Foundry #1. Then we return to the beautifully rendered world of Blacksad for They All Fall Down, a sprawling noir tale of murder, labor, corruption, ambition, and the uncomfortable realization that this may not really be a detective story at all.
