    Is Scarlet Witch A Latverian Witch in Avengers Doomsday?

    This week, we are diving deep into the wildest Avengers Doomsday rumors, specifically looking at the Darkhold connection between Victor Von Doom and Wanda Maximoff. Is Scarlet Witch actually going to return as a mind-controlled Latverian Witch? We break down the leaked costume designs and comic history to see if Doom has enslaved the MCU's most powerful magic user to act as his multiversal conduit. Plus, we talk about Spider-Man Brand New Day crushing the box office (and why ticket inflation matters when comparing it to Titanic), the latest X-Men casting leaks for Rogue, Angel, and Beast, and what went wrong with episode four of the DCU Lanterns show. Later, Adrian brings the heat with a Hidden Gem Finally, we pull off the blanket for an epic deep dive into the comic origins of Thor. From his arrogant early days and the true nature of Mjolnir, to his ascension as Rune King Thor and his philosophical battles with Gorr the God Butcher, this is everything you need to know about the God of Thunder.

    Hulk & Bane! 2 of The Most Misunderstood Characters in ALL Comics!

    Welcome back to Only Comics! This week, Mike and Adrian are taking no days off as we dive deep into the real comic book origins of some of the most misunderstood powerhouses in Marvel and DC. We break down the staggering box office domination of Spider-Man: Brand New Day and prove why superhero fatigue is a total myth.

We trace Bruce Banner’s tragic origins, his explosive power scaling, and the ultimate betrayal by the Illuminati that led to the legendary Planet Hulk and World War Hulk storylines. Plus, we discuss the canceled Spider-Noir series, the recasting in Amazon's God of War, and why Marvel's Echo completely missed the mark compared to Maya Lopez’s original comic run.

    Marvel’s Official Doomsday Podcast? + Jon Stewart’s Comic Origins!

    Welcome back! This week on Only Comics, Adrian and I have a serious bone to pick with Marvel Studios. We started our road to Avengers Doomsday countdown months ago, and now Marvel drops their own official Doomsday podcast? Imitation is flattery, but they're just copying our concepts and not paying us! We break down this official podcast drama, plus Spider-Man’s record-shattering box office run and the sneaky Endgame encore release. We’re also tackling the slow burn of HBO’s Lanterns series. If you’re frustrated by the pacing and massive changes, wait until you hear the real Jon Stewart comic origin breakdown. We pull apart what the show changed, what they kept, and why the comic version of his origin is way more brutal and compelling. Plus, we’re exposing the dark truth in a massive Charles Xavier deep dive—proving why he might actually be Marvel’s biggest villain. Rounding out the episode, we discuss why Wakanda Forever completely nerfed Namor, break down the real Atlantean mutant's comic history! And A LOT more!!

    The MCU ’Tony Stark’ Doomsday Rumors Need to Stop!

    The Avengers: Doomsday rumors are officially out of control. We’re breaking down David Harbour’s viral out-of-context quote from Doomsday and explaining why the Victor von Doom and Tony Stark fan theories make zero sense. Robert Downey Jr. is back in the MCU, but Doctor Doom is not an Iron Man variant. We dive into how Marvel marketing works, the future of the Multiverse Saga leading into Avengers: Secret Wars, and what the arrival of the X-Men means for the timeline. Plus, we break down the massive premiere numbers for HBO’s Lanterns and debate whether the DCU is finally finding its footing. We also get into the real data behind Marvel canceling Wonder Man Season 2, the wild DC trademark battle that forced Marvel to turn Changeling into Morph for X-Men: The Animated Series, and a massive deep dive into Magneto’s true Omega-level power set—proving why he’s not just a metal manipulator, but a universal force of nature. This and a whole LOT more!! Join the Internship on YouTube or Spotify for our exclusive second weekly show, Other Stuff, where we get into deep-lore conspiracies, universe building, and pop culture breakdowns.

    X-Men MCU Cast Revealed! RDJ’s DOOM Accent & Who is Mister Sinister?

    Another week, another absolute banger for the Legion of Interns! This week on Only Comics, Mike and Adrian are breaking down a massive wave of comic book news straight out of Disney’s D23. We are finally settling the debate on the Avengers: Doomsday trailer: does Robert Downey Jr. sound like Tony Stark, or are we getting a truly menacing, comic-accurate Victor Von Doom? Plus, we break down the newly announced MCU X-Men cast, the return of Ultron in Vision Quest, and those wild DC casting rumors surrounding Scarlett Johansson as Poison Ivy. Then, we dive headfirst into the dark Marvel lore with a full character deep dive into Mister Sinister. From his horrific 19th-century origins and Frankenstein-esque basement experiments to his century-long obsession with Scott Summers and Jean Grey, Nathaniel Essex proves why he is one of the most twisted villains in comic history. To wrap things up, we give our honest review of the disjointed X-Men '97 Season 2 finale, dissect the Beau DeMayo firing situation, and hit the Road to Doomsday with an MCU vs. Comics breakdown of Hawkeye.

    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.
