Spider Man’s Billion Dollar Week & MCU Incursions Explained!

Spider-Man Brand New Day is absolutely demolishing the box office, hitting $1.3 billion globally in its first ten days, and we debate if it’s actually breaking records or if ticket inflation is playing tricks on us. We also dive into the wild rumors surrounding The Batman Part 2 introducing the Court of Owls, and the controversial Endgame Encore re-release that is adding new footage to the MCU timeline. But that’s just the warm-up. We are breaking down X-Men '97 Episode 8, ranting about Professor X hiding under his blanket, and unpacking the insane Gambit and Apocalypse dynamic. For our character deep dives, we pull back the curtain on the tragic, dark origin of Angel (Warren Worthington III) and how he became the bloodthirsty Archangel. Then, we pivot to the Road to Doomsday, fully explaining MCU Incursions, dream walking, and how Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness perfectly set up the collapse of the Marvel multiverse.

Is Spider-Man Brand New Day the Best Spider-Man Movie?

Welcome back to Only Comics! This week, Mike and Adrian are throwing down over one massive question: Is Spider-Man: Brand New Day the best Spider-Man movie ever made? The guys get into a huge debate over Tom Holland's raw new powers, that brutal Hulk fight, and Peter Parker finally getting a grounded, street-level story in the MCU. While Mike thinks it's the greatest live-action Spidey flick yet, Adrian has a seriously hot take about why it didn't quite hit the mark. Before the web-slinging, the podcast breaks down the latest MCU news, including the rumored casting of Samara Weaving as Emma Frost and Storm potentially showing up in Black Panther 3. Plus, they celebrate Marvel officially canceling the Wonder Man series and the long-delayed Blade movie. Later, the boys do a massive comic deep dive to figure out why Peter Parker has the absolute worst luck in Marvel Comics—from Gwen Stacy's tragic death to Kraven's Last Hunt. They also explain exactly what a Marvel Celestial is during their Eternals retrospective, answer viewer questions in the "We Respond" segment, and wrap up with Adrian's Hidden Gem on The Immortal from the Invincible universe.

Why Marvel’s Avengers Doomsday Will Break the MCU!

This week, Mike and Adrian are breaking down why Avengers Doomsday is about to completely shatter the MCU timeline. With San Diego Comic-Con around the corner, we are dissecting the leaked trailer details, the insane 2-hour and 45-minute runtime, and Robert Downey Jr. taking up the mask as Doctor Doom. Plus, DC cannot catch a break as The Batman Part II gets pushed back all the way to 2028. Are these massive superhero movie delays saving the cinematic universes or totally killing fan hype? Then, we dive straight into the animation arena to give our completely honest, unfiltered review of X-Men '97 Season 2, Episode 5. Wolverine finally gets his adamantium back on his bones, but did this Weapon X storyline feel way too rushed, or are they successfully setting up a massive Apocalypse Horseman arrival? For our main comic lore segments, we are asking the ultimate question: Who the fuck is Emma Frost? We track the White Queen from her ruthless Hellfire Club origins to surviving the absolute genocide of Genosha and triggering her organic diamond mutation. We also check back into the Road to Secret Wars to reveal why Valeria Richards is officially the smartest character in the Marvel Universe, followed by an epic Hidden Gem breakdown of the brutal Soviet super-soldier Omega Red.

Does Doctor Doom need the 10 rings in Avengers Doomsday?

What's up, interns! Welcome back to another massive episode of Only Comics. Mike and Adrian survived the crazy northeast storms to bring you the absolute best comic book breakdowns on the internet. This week, we are diving deep into the MCU's future and asking the multi-billion dollar question: Does Doctor Doom need the Ten Rings in Avengers: Doomsday? We're back on our Road to Doomsday watch-through, breaking down the true nature of Shang-Chi's martial arts, the difference between pure Chi and brute force, and the massive mystery behind the Ten Rings. We have a crazy theory that the multiversal beacon sent out at the end of the movie is calling directly to Victor Von Doom as he builds Battleworld. We also tear into the early box office struggles of James Gunn's new DCU. With Supergirl underperforming and rumors of heavy creative clashes behind the scenes, is this new universe already falling apart? Plus, we're giving you a full review of the first three episodes of X-Men '97, breaking down the brutal differences between X-Force and X-Factor, and delivering a "Who the F*** Is" segment that proves Jubilee is an absolute powerhouse.

Is Avengers Doomsday Wanda’s Fault? + Tom Cruise as Iron Man in Secret Wars?

He Who Is Right has returned! On this week's episode of Only Comics, Mike and Adrian are dropping absolute truth bombs on the biggest rumors shaking up the MCU and the DCU. First up, we react to the gritty, bloody, and totally badass new Batman: Knightfall trailer—because it's AFT (about FN Time) they get Batman right! We also break down exactly why Supergirl flopped at the box office despite actually being a solid movie, and play a round of Critics vs. Audience on Rotten Tomatoes. Then, we dive headfirst into the wildest Multiverse Saga rumors. Is Tom Cruise really going to suit up as an Iron Man variant in Avengers: Secret Wars? Mike gives his completely unfiltered, factual opinion on why this casting could feel like a complete parody. But the real meat of the episode is our roadmap to Avengers: Doomsday. We do a massive deep dive into the MCU’s Scarlet Witch. We break down the true nature of her Chaos Magic, why her reality-warping breakdown in Westview makes total sense, and how her darkhold-corrupted dream-walking is the exact incursion trigger that perfectly sets up Doctor Doom and Secret Wars. Stop letting nostalgia blind you from the details—the seeds have already been planted! Plus, we’ve got a highly requested comic book deep dive into the origin of Nightcrawler, a brain-melting debate over the Ship of Theseus Vision paradox, and we introduce an obscure Hidden Gem.

Is Spider Man a Mutant Now + Why Supergirl is Destined to Flop!

This week, Mike and Adrian are diving headfirst into the chaotic madness of the brand-new Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer. We are breaking down the massive online rumors: Is Marvel actually setting up Peter Parker to be a mutant in the MCU, or is that black-eyed look something entirely different? Plus, we break down the secret cameo speculation—is Sadie Sink making her live-action debut as Jean Grey right under our noses? Then, we switch gears to the trainwreck happening over at DC Studios. The Supergirl movie opening weekend projections are looking rough, sliding into that disastrous Ezra Miller Flash territory, and we are putting the blame exactly where it belongs—garbage marketing. Kara Zor-El is not just Superman in a skirt or a glorified sidekick; she’s a battle-hardened, god-tier savage born in a advanced civilization who has watched her entire world bleed out. Mike gives a full comic history lesson on why she has an edge that even Batman respects more than the Boy Scout. We also break down those suspiciously clean "leaked" Avengers Doomsday set photos, we review the temporal madness of Loki Season 2 and MORE!!

Welcome back today we are dealing with some of the biggest complainers in the fandom. Seriously, you all need to relax. We kick things off with a reality check on the massive disappointment of "Disclosure Day" before diving straight into the leaked footage for Avengers: Doomsday. Are those actual Sentinels fighting alongside Doctor Doom? Yes, and they finally look right—no Dyson vacuum cleaners here! We also break down the newest rumors for Avengers: Secret Wars. With multiple variants of Thor and Hulk allegedly showing up, it sounds like some of our heavy hitters are going to bite the dust. We discuss why this is the perfect setup for the MCU's next massive crossover and why fans need to stop whining before the movie even drops. Plus, we’re serving up a massive deep dive on the REAL Rogue—forget the weak, insecure version Fox fed you in the movies, we're talking about the god-tier, Captain Marvel-absorbing powerhouse. We also get you prepped on DC's Lobo before he hits the big screen, review Loki Season 1's crucial setup for the Multiverse Saga, and uncover a ridiculously awesome hidden gem!

Will Avengers Doomsday Ignore The Multiverse Saga?

Welcome back to Only Comics! We just hit a massive milestone this past weekend—100,000 followers over on TikTok! Huge shout out to all the fans and followers who found us there and are now diving into the full weekly episodes. If you have thin skin, you should probably tune out right now because we’re bound to say something that will offend someone. This week, we are breaking down the absolute madness coming out of South by Southwest London, where the Russo brothers claimed their approach to Avengers Doomsday is a total "Phase Zero" reset that starts over from scratch. Are they completely ignoring the Multiverse Saga out of pure weakness, or is this just a massive marketing play on words? We also break down the confirmed 33-character cast list to prove why the internet trolls crying about a "cameo feast" need to shut the f up. Then, we transition into pure body horror as we unlock the terrifying comic history of Peter Parker mutating into a giant spider and hatching from his own dead exoskeleton just to get organic webbing, followed by a breakdown of why Iceman is a low-key, immortal Omega-level god who strips the thermodynamic kinetic energy right out of the universe.

X Men 97 Season 2: The Apocalypse Threat + Backrooms Crushes Star Wars!

What's up everybody, we are back for another week of Only Comics, where we discuss comics and only comics... mostly. We've got a jam-packed show for you today. First up, we are breaking down the brand new X-Men '97 Season 2 trailer. If Marvel handles this right, we are about to get the greatest on-screen version of Apocalypse we've ever seen. Forget that blue Ivan Ooze cosplay—we are doing a deep dive into the First Mutant's twisted origins, his Celestial armor, and why his brutal "survival of the fittest" mentality makes him the ultimate game-changing villain. We're also talking about the absolute box office shocker of the year. The indie horror movie Backrooms is completely dominating the theaters, putting major studio projects like The Mandalorian & Grogu to shame. It goes to show you don't need a $200 million budget to tell a story people actually want to see. Plus, we continue our Road to Doomsday journey with an Avengers: Infinity War review, breaking down why Thanos is the absolute gold standard for villains and tearing apart the myth that he had "years of build-up." We also get into the wild science behind how Pym Particles actually work before we hit Endgame next week. Adrian comes through with an epic Hidden Gem covering a highly versatile and incredibly powerful mutant, but you'll have to listen to find out exactly who it is! And as always, we wrap the show up by dragging some of the absolute worst takes from our TikTok comment section. Hit play, sit back, and read a comic.

Marvel Says We Are NOT READY For Avengers Doomsday + Who the F is Beast?

Another week, another absolute banger. We are back on Only Comics, and we're dropping some serious noise on the comic world today, so leave your corporate-approved buzzwords at the door. No tabling topics or pinning ideas here—we are diving straight into the multiversal madness. First up, the Russo brothers are out doing media rounds talking a massive game about Avengers Doomsday, promising a profound level of narrative complexity for Victor Von Doom. They're explicitly warning us that the audience is not anticipating the tone of this film. Is it a massive multiversal gamble like Civil War on steroids, or is the MCU finally giving us the creative reinvention we desperately need? We place our bets on whether it's crossing over a billion or hitting a critical wall. Then, we transition directly into our headline segment: Who the fuck is Beast? If you only know Hank McCoy from the passive, poetry-quoting live-action films, you don't know the real monster. We blow the lid off his dark Krakoa era history, from committing literal plant-based genocide on an entire nation to lobotomizing Wolverine and turning his closest ally into a mind-controlled feral assassin. Plus, we pull no punches on our movie of the week, Ant-Man and the Wasp. Spoiler alert: on a rewatch, this movie absolutely sucks. We break down why the entire quantum realm premise is lazy writing designed purely to set up a time heist. Finally, Adrian drops a phenomenal hidden gem, before we tackle your unfiltered Spotify and YouTube comments to roast some legendary TikTok hot takes on the Snyder Cut.

Punisher Wasn’t Special | The Real Cyclops | Marvel Stars in The Batman 2!

What's up, interns! Welcome back to Only Comics. This week, Mike and Adrian are tearing into Marvel's latest Special Presentation, Punisher: One Last Kill, and explaining exactly why it felt so unbelievably MID. Sure, Jon Bernthal is the absolute perfect Frank Castle, but did we really need 48 minutes of non-stop slaughter mixed with heavy PTSD therapy sessions? We break down why Marvel's special presentations are starting to feel like half-baked movie fragments. We're also diving deep into some wild DC news—are Marvel stars Scarlett Johansson and Sebastian Stan really jumping ship for Matt Reeves' The Batman Part 2? Plus, we get into why James Gunn's Supergirl marketing feels like a disaster waiting to happen and why Lobo's new look is giving us serious KISS vibes.

Marvel Adding Avengers Doomsday Scenes to Endgame + Mr Freeze in The Batman 2!

What’s up, interns? Welcome back to Only Comics, We’ve been doing this for three plus years, and we are guaranteed to entertain and offend you on another absolute banger of an episode. This week, we are breaking down massive news on both sides of the comic book aisle. Are Joe and Anthony Russo really adding brand new Avengers: Doomsday scenes to the upcoming rerelease of Avengers: Endgame? We discuss what this means for the multiverse and whether adding post-credit scenes to a masterpiece is a genius move or an MCU “BBL” kind of mistake. On the DC side, Matt Reeves just dropped some snowy Gotham teases for The Batman Part 2—does the "snow tires" tease officially confirm a grounded, gritty version of Mr. Freeze? Plus, with his special presentation dropping soon, we dive deep into the blood-soaked lore of Frank Castle in a massive "Who the F*** is The Punisher?" segment. We break down his military origins, his psychopathic pain tolerance, and the true meaning behind his iconic skull logo. Then, Adrian and Mike debate over the Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 finale. Did it deliver an epic Kingpin showdown, or was the lack of MCU cameos a massive missed opportunity? We wrap it all up with our Road to Doomsday rewatch of Doctor Strange, the Omni-Man vs. Superman debate, and a Hidden Gem.

Doctor Doom’s Tragic Avengers Doomsday Origin!

What's up OC Crew! We are officially celebrating three motherfucking years of another week, another banger! In episode 159 of Only Comics, we are bringing the heat with some of the craziest MCU rumors and deep dives we've ever done. We kick things off by breaking down the insane Avengers Doomsday rumor that Steve Rogers' time travel to be with Peggy Carter actually caused the multiversal incursion that killed Doctor Doom's wife and child. Is this tragic Robert Downey Jr. Doctor Doom origin story genius or lazy writing? We also dive deep into Marvel history to expose how the infamous Sony email hack legally forced Spider-Man into the MCU, saving Peter Parker from cinematic disaster. Plus, we're talking overwhelmingly positive screening reactions for MCU Spider-Man 4: Brand New Day, discussing the latest Daredevil Born Again set mistakes, and recapping the tense consequences of Episode 7. To top it all off, we're playing "What The F*** Rotten Tomatoes" and "Hit or Miss Cast," before jumping into a massive "Who The F*** Is...?" segment on Mystique. We break down the X-Men villain's 100-year-old black-ops history and the jaw-dropping retcon of how she biologically fathered Nightcrawler. Shout out to all the interns and the entire OC community for rocking with us for three years! Hit subscribe, drop a comment, and let's go!

Avengers DOOMSDAY Leak: Doctor Doom’s Armor Room!

Welcome back to another MF banger of an episode of Only Comics! I’m Mike, alongside Adrian, and even though he's navigating the multiverse remotely this week, we are holding it down like we always do with some massive comic book news. This week, we are diving headfirst into the MCU hype machine because an Avengers Doomsday set leak just dropped. Did the composer accidentally reveal Doctor Doom’s Armor Room and Castle Doom on social media? We break down what this means for Victor Von Doom’s debut, his evolving tech, and our prediction for a brand new post-credits scene being added to the Avengers: Endgame theatrical re-release to bridge the gap. Over on the DC Studios side, we react to the terrifying, body-horror vibes of the new Clayface trailer and debate the ethics of James Gunn’s Superman filming in an active prison. Plus, we drop a double-feature "Who The F*** Is?" segment diving deep into the horrific lore of DC's Clayface, covering both Basil Karlo and Matt Hagen. We also get into a heated debate over Daredevil Born Again Season 2. With Jessica Jones returning and throwing down, we clash over Matt Murdock’s polarizing no-kill rule and whether Karen Page should have just pulled the trigger. Finally, we cap it off with a Black Panther retro review, exploring why Killmonger was right, and pitch the perfect Multiverse fix to bring a Black Panther variant into the fold for Secret Wars.

RDJ’s Doctor Doom Catches Stormbreaker! Plus Who The F Is Gambit?

Welcome back to another motherf***ing episode of the only comic podcast you need! This week, we are breaking down the massive CinemaCon leaks for Avengers: Doomsday. We finally got the details on Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom, and trust us, the "lazy casting" crowd is going to be real quiet. Doom has a thick Eastern European accent, a scarred face, and literally catches Thor's Stormbreaker bare-handed! Can't Wait for Avengers Doomsday We also hold nothing back reviewing the latest Daredevil: Born Again episode. Was it just a boring filler episode dragging out the Vanessa flashbacks? Yes, yes it was. Plus, we dive deep into the hidden history of the X-Men’s Cajun master thief in our "Who the F*** is Gambit?" segment. Did you know he was originally an Omega-level threat who had to be lobotomized by Mister Sinister? We cover all of his true powers, from superhuman agility to bio-kinetic charging. Later, we revisit the Black Widow movie to discuss its botched release timeline and how Scarlett Johansson's lawsuit completely changed Hollywood streaming payouts forever.

Vanessa’s Daredevil Disaster, The Watcher’s Warning & Sydney Sweeny as Emma Frost?

Welcome back to another chaotic, comic-fueled episode of Only Comics! We are coming at you hot this week with a massive breakdown of Daredevil Born Again Season 2 Episode 4. Kingpin is about to lose his damn mind after Bullseye's terrifying diner massacre and the absolute bloody disaster with Vanessa at the boxing match. Plus, Marvel TV boss Brad Winderbaum just basically confirmed The Watcher is lurking in Hell's Kitchen. What does this mean for the MCU's street-level heroes? In the rumor mill, we are talking about the massive leak claiming Sydney Sweeney is being eyed to play Emma Frost in the upcoming X-Men mutant saga. Then, we take a sledgehammer to the lazy fan theory that "Moon Knight is Marvel's Batman" during our 'Who the F*** Is?' segment. We dive deep into Marc Spector's brutal, god-tier powers, his moon-phase scaling, and explain why even Taskmaster refuses to copy his suicidal fighting style. Finally, we hit the Road to Doomsday with an epic look back at Captain America: Civil War, debating why it changed the MCU forever and shattered the Avengers. To cap it all off, Adrian drops a highly requested Hidden Gem on...... Watch and you'll find out.

Daredevil Needs the Defenders, MCU’s Ant Man Mistake & The Truth About Thanos

Welcome back to another episode of Only Comics! This week, Mike and Adrian are breaking down the latest leaks from the set of Daredevil: Born Again Season 3. Matt Murdock is completely outnumbered by an anti-vigilante task force and Kingpin's tightening chokehold on New York, meaning he desperately needs a team. Luckily, leaked set photos show Luke Cage and Iron Fist are back in the mix! We also dive into our Road to Doomsday review of the MCU's Ant-Man and drop a massive hot take on why turning founding Avenger Hank Pym into "Old Man River" instead of a peer to Tony Stark and Bruce Banner was a huge mistake. Plus, we expose the dark, comic-accurate truth about Thanos. Forget the movie's noble crusade to save the universe from starving. The real Mad Titan was the ultimate simp who dissected his own mother and murdered half the universe just to get left on read by Lady Death.

Marvel vs Sony: Why Haven’t we Seen Spider Man vs Kingpin in Live Action?

Another week, another banger with Mike and Adrian. We’re diving straight into the "bitch ass companies" causing the most frustrating rights issue in Hollywood history. Vincent D’Onofrio (Kingpin) is officially calling out Sony and Marvel for not letting him and Tom Holland's Spider-Man square off. Why are we still being deprived of a Spidey vs. Fisk showdown in a post-No Way Home world? We’re also breaking down the record-breaking Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer—1.1 billion views in 4 days—proving there is still no character on Peter Parker's level. Plus, news on Steve Rogers' confirmed return in Secret Wars and the rumors that David Corenswet’s Superman is getting a beefed-up role in the Supergirl movie. But hold on to your seats, because we’re getting messy with the Maximoff Lie. We’re dissecting the bizarre comic origins of Wanda and Pietro—yes, the one involving a cow midwife named Bova—and why they aren't actually mutants. From the viral footage of Alan Ritchson teaching his neighbor about Fuck Around and Find Out to the disastrous live-action Moana wig, we’re leaving no stone unturned. Read a comic, start a podcast, and mind your own goddamn motherfucking business. The Road to Secret Wars Continues this Thursday on Mike Check!!

Avengers Doomsday will Crush Dune 3 & Spider Man Brand New Day Trailer Breaking Records

What’s up, everyone? Welcome back to Only Comics. Mike and Adrian are back in the lab and this week, we’re talking about the absolute PANDEMONIUM hitting theaters later this year. They’re calling it **Dunesday**—December 18th, when *Avengers: Doomsday* and *Dune: Part Three* hit the big screen on the same damn day. Mike is so confident that Marvel is going to smoke the "sandworm bullshit" that he’s betting his left pinky on the box office numbers. Is he on crack, or is Dune just a glorified sleep aid? You decide. We also dive deep into the record-shattering trailer for **Spider-Man: Brand New Day**. 718 million views in 24 hours? Yeah, tell me again how "nobody cares about Marvel anymore". We’re breaking down the New York City setting, the Punisher’s return, and why Peter Parker looks more stressed than a delivery driver with a blocked screen door. Plus, we’ve got a massive **Who The F*** Is** segment on the original R-rated Marvel hero, Jessica Jones, and another 5 star **Hidden Gem**!! And yeah...
