We continue our dive into Jonathan Hickman’s Avengers saga with Avengers #35 and New Avengers #24 (2014), as the truth finally comes out — the universe is dying, and Earth is the cause.

In Avengers #35, stars go dark and cosmic forces move toward Earth while Sunspot begins assembling a new Avengers team, bringing together fractured heroes like Hyperion, Nightmask, Starbrand, and a broken Thor.

In New Avengers #24, the Cabal spirals out of control. Namor turns to Doctor Doom and is rejected, Professor X is forced to beg Thanos for death, and Wakanda’s last stand ends in devastating sacrifice. Behind it all, Doom begins quietly building a plan tied to the Multiverse and the Molecule Man.

This is Hickman at his bleakest — cosmic collapse, impossible choices, and heroes crossing lines they can’t return from.

🎄🔪 In this episode, we’re reviewing Slay Bells, the brutal holiday one-shot by Zeb Wells from Bad Idea. What begins as a quiet Christmas Eve hunting tradition in a small Midwestern town turns into a nightmare when a single bad decision leads to the unthinkable — the killing of Santa’s reindeer. What follows is a savage, twisted holiday tale as Santa Claus himself comes to town, not to give gifts, but to deliver violent, magical punishment to everyone responsible.

We break down the story, tone, and shock factor, talk about Zeb Wells’ razor-sharp writing, and discuss why Slay Bells stands out as one of the darkest Christmas comics ever made.
