This week on the Major Spoilers Podcast: IT’S A FIFTH WEEK EVENT! This week we take a look at Doctor Strangefate and Magneto and the Magnetic Men. Plus, we get a little political, a bit romantic, and a bit litigious in our discussions. Also, Blue Beetle #12, Kim and Kim #2, and Generations: Thor #1.

STEPHEN
BLUE BEETLE #12
Writers: J.M. DeMatteis, Keith Giffen
Artist: Scott Kolins
U.S. Price: $3.99
Guest-starring Batman! Jaime Reyes may be back in his Blue Beetle armor, but he’s still a relative novice at the superhero game. And that’s raised the attention of someone who’s been doing this a long time. See what happens when the Caped Crusader swings over to El Paso to provide some schooling.

Writer: Jason Aaron
Artist: Mahmud Asrar
Publisher: Marvel
HER HAMMER, HIS AX: A WORTHY APOCALYPSE.
• When a battle goes south, Thor finds herself in ancient Egypt – facing a young Odinson!
• A misguided party of Vikings has bitten off way more than they can spear. But when the prince of Asgard answers their cries for help, he ends up in a fight no axe alone can win! And Apocalypse is not one for mercy.
• Can a not-yet-worthy god and a time-lost hero take on one of the world’s most powerful mutants at the height of his empire? And what does their encounter mean for the future of two Thors?

KIM & KIM: LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD #2
Writer: Mags Visaggio
Artist: Eva Cabrera
Publisher: Black Mask
The Fighting Kims are broke and stranded. So what do they do about it? The answer, as usual, is 'nothing helpful.' Featuring a journey into the afterlife and an action scene in a fruit stand and also some legit relationship stuff. And now it's an Eisner-nominated series!
