| Major Spoilers Podcast #1159: Absolute Batman | 28 Jan 2026 | 01:10:10 | |
This week, we react to Jason Momoa's Lobo look, review Harley Quinn x Elvira #4 and Amazing Spider-Man Annual 2026, break down Magic: The Gathering's Lorwyn Eclipse (and that investor suit chatter), then go long on Absolute Batman Vol. 1—the smash that's redefining DC's 2026 strategy.
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL 2026 Purchase via our Amazon affiliate link
HARLEY QUINN x ELVIRA #4 With things getting too hot to handle back in Brooklyn, Elvira and Harley abscond to the cooler climes of Transylvania to crash with one of Elvira's best buddies in his tastefully appointed castle. But despite their reputation as old-school hedonists, the Count's already-invited guests don't much care for this pair of interlopers - and they've got some decidedly medieval ideas for how to deal with party crashers!

He's not the scion of a wealthy empire in Gotham City, he's the son of a public school teacher who he experienced the unimaginable horror of random gun violence as a child, changing the trajectory of his life forever. With no limitless resources, no billions to fund him, no mansion, and no butler to care for him, Bruce has shaped himself into an entirely different breed of Batman, one that is equal parts brain and brawn, who exists exclusively in the grittiest and most underserved parts of Gotham with no high society mask to fall back on.

We are back to see what happens to Tintin when he lands on the Moon! Plus, we review Conan: Scourge of the Serpent #4, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Zordquest, and Where Does the Rainbow End? #1.
CONAN: SCOURGE OF THE SERPENT #4 Conan of Cimmeria has encountered Stygian sorcery and snake-sent creatures many times in his grand adventures, but he has never faced the true unspeakable power of SET… until NOW. The serpent god's influence coils around the Hyborian Age and every other age linked to it. Three stunning supernatural stories will weave together to answer a chilling question of past and present – what is Set's grand plan for humanity, and how it's begun, can it be stopped? Rating:3.5/5 MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS: ZORDQUEST What defines a hero? The Power Rangers discover that for themselves in this special one-shot! After a devastating encounter with the villainous Madame Axe-A-Lot, the Mighty Morphin team is left questioning whether they truly have what it takes. To regain their confidence, they'll each have to go on a spiritual quest of discovery to the breathtaking landmarks that the Zords call home! Will they be able to see for themselves the qualities that make them heroes at heart? Rating: 3/5 WHERE DOES THE RAINBOW END? #1 A dramatic prequel to the hit story Love Me: A Romance Story, written by Francesca Perillo and drawn by Stefano Cardoselli. This story addresses universal themes of friendship, family, equality, and finding one's own truth. Gilda has been abandoned by her parents, but fortunately, she has been discovered in the Cacace Bros. Robot Dump…and has been raised by the robots who discovered her. She was lucky to be found in the Rainbow Sector by robots that cared for her. However, she has also been shielded from the outside world, other humans, and from a dangerous section of their robot world called the Dark Cage, where the most hostile of robots live. Word has spread about her ability to fix robots, though, and one vicious robot from the Dark Cage wants her to repair all of the violent robots that live there…and nothing will stop him. Artist Stefano Cardoselli (Don't Spit In The Wind, Long Cold Winter) and writer Francesca Perillo (Long Cold Winter) reunite once again in this exciting prequel to their hit story Love Me: A Romance Story.

Her struggle birthed a pop culture phenomenon.

| Major Spoilers Podcast #1147: Heists, Horrors, and Haunted Archives | 29 Oct 2025 | 00:50:10 | |
Supernatural hits comics, Godzilla stomps through Kansas City, and Circus Maximus brings ancient Rome to life — plus, the crew names their favorite heist movies before diving deep into Creepy Archives Vol. 11. From gothic horror to 8mm ads, this one's creepy, classy, and classic Major Spoilers.
STEPHEN You can purchase this issue via our Amazon affiliate link - https://amzn.to/3L8d0nB MATTHEW In this first issue, the monster hunters must uncover the entity responsible for a series of mysterious fires in a decaying rust belt town — attacks that begin with a Windler Industries factory burning down, and then escalate to several Windler employees themselves going up in flames. But finding the malevolent force behind the otherworldly arsons may not be as straightforward as it might seem — especially once the suspiciously well-prepared CEO Steff Windler gets personally involved!

Then we dive deep into Ray Fawkes' Intersect: Metamorph — a haunting meditation on body horror, love, and identity. Plus: the Major Spoilers crew debates franchise fatigue, mid-budget movie death, and what it means for pop culture's future.
STEPHEN For one member of the Resistance, this means trusting his life to a reprogrammed Terminator. Trapped behind enemy lines, the soldier and his repurposed engine of destruction must find a way to both survive and complete their mission - an undertaking with such a low probability of success that it could reboot the Terminator back to its default settings!

| Major Spoilers Podcast #1145: Crossovers Everywhere & Batman vs. The Demon | 15 Oct 2025 | 01:02:57 | |
This week, we review Hector Plasm: Hunt the Bigfoot #1 (Image), Fantastic Four/Gargoyles #1 (Marvel), and War Wolf #1 (Mad Cave)—then dive into the great publisher crossover boom and our dream team-ups. In TPB Corner, we time-hop through Batman & Etrigan team-ups (Brave & the Bold #109, Detective Comics #603, and Batman #544–546) to see what still sings (and what doesn't).
STEPHEN MATTHEW RODRIGO BATMAN AND ETRIGAN Etrigan returned for a four-issue miniseries in 1987, written and illustrated by Matt Wagner. Alan Grant followed this with an Etrigan feature in Action Comics Weekly #636-641 and a second ongoing title in 1990. The 1990 series lasted 58 issues, two Annuals and one #0 issue. Garth Ennis took over the title beginning with issue #40. Ennis' run included the first appearance of his character Hitman. This series was followed by a miniseries, Driven Out. Following this, John Byrne's Blood of the Demon lasted 17 issues, and ignored much of the continuity that took place after Kirby's initial run. While his first monthly comic book series was short-lived, and his second was canceled after five years, Etrigan remains a popular supporting character with occasional additional miniseries. Series in which Etrigan has appeared include Alan Moore's Swamp Thing, Neil Gaiman's The Sandman, Kevin Smith's Green Arrow and Batman: The Widening Gyre, Garth Ennis's Hitman, and Cosmic Odyssey by Jim Starlin and Mike Mignola.
