Major Spoilers Podcast #1152: Death Gets Downsized
Death gets pink-slipped and sent to Mumbai—so we’re unpacking The Many Deaths of Laila Star and why its big ideas and electric colors hit so hard. We also review Inferno Girl Red: Book Two #1, Shiver Suspense Stories Two #1, and The New Space Age #1. Plus: the eternal debate—Wendy’s, McDonald’s, or Burger King?

SHIVER SUSPENSTORIES 2 #1
Writer: Various
Artist: Various
Publisher: Oni Press
Cover Price: $8.99
Release Date: December 10, 2025
AS IF THE HOLIDAYS WEREN’T HORRORIFIC ENOUGH?! EC Comics and Oni Press are BACK to stab your stocking for the second year running with all-new, all-terrifying tales of holiday horror and Christmastime catastrophe as SHIVER SUSPENSTORIES slays again! In this year’s giant-sized, 56-page tome of gruesomely gift-wrapped delights: We’re tying perpetual naughty-listers David M. Booher (Canto), Melissa Flores (Biker Mice from Mars), George Northy (Yuletide), and Ben H. Winters (Benjamin) to the dried-out Christmas tree in the family parlor . . . and gathering ‘round as artistic Tormentors-in-training Sami Kivelä (Abbott), Dan McDaid (Shazam!), and more surprise guests throw a few lit matches their way to get this old-fashioned solstice sacrifice started in style! Yes, we know: It smells like dinner might be getting a little overdone! Never fear, because EC’s newest annual tradition also comes complete with an extra-added EC Comics classic—newly restored back to its authentic original coloring! As you sift through the charred remains, just remember: SHIVER SUSPENSTORIES is here to bring the horror back to the holidays . . . and we wouldn’t want it any other way!

THE NEW SPACE AGE #1
Writer: Kenny Porter

Publisher: Mad Cave Studios
Cover Price: $4.99
Release Date: December 17, 2025
Disgraced astronaut Mark Mitchell has only ever had one true mission—to find his little brother Joey, who was abducted by aliens from a crop circle when they were little. But when Mark’s hotshot piloting gets him grounded and the last of the public space program defunded, Mark loses his only means of finding Joey out in space.
Until Mark’s homemade scanning rig discovers the shocking truth about the crop circles—they’re instructions for space travel.
Mark will need to uncover the hidden messages that have been left on Earth for years, and reverse engineer the magic that can finally help him find Joey.
