    Will RDJ’s Doom Be Thanos Level + How The Marvels Secretly Sets Up Doomsday!

    Welcome back to Only Comics! This week, we are breaking down why a massive stunt-double leak practically confirms that Scarlet Witch is making her return. Plus, are we going to see Ryan Gosling as Ghost Rider alongside Sacha Baron Cohen’s Mephisto? We also have to talk about the MCU's biggest financial disaster: The Marvels. Everyone skipped this movie, but Marvel is desperately trying to hide the fact that it perfectly sets up Avengers: Doomsday. We explain exactly how the Quantum Bands and those massive tears in space-time are basically handing Doctor Doom the ultimate weapon to destroy the multiverse. Speaking of Doom, we debate if Robert Downey Jr.'s performance will actually top Josh Brolin's Thanos. Later in the show, we pay our respects to the legendary Patrick Stewart and call out the fake outrage culture online. Then, it's time to get educated. We’re dropping a massive comic deep dive on the REAL Nick Fury—the ruthless, 100-year-old psycho who murdered The Watcher. And Adrian brings the heat with a Hidden Gem on Japan's walking nuclear reactor, Sunfire. Grab a seat, interns. Let's get into it. The Next Stop on our Road to Doomsday is Agatha All Along...

    Is DC’s Clayface REALLY That Good? + Vision Quest’s Jocasta Explained!

    Is DC's R-rated Clayface movie actually the standalone horror masterpiece fans are saying it is, or are the out-of-touch critics right? This week on Only Comics, we break down the massive 94% audience score versus the 75% critic score divide on Rotten Tomatoes. We dive into the gory, psychological depths of Matt Hagen's descent into madness, debate if this villain origin fits perfectly into Matt Reeves' The Batman universe, and explain why DC just blew Sony's villain movies completely out of the water. Shifting to Marvel, Vision Quest Episode 4 just changed the game. Ultron is pulling the strings, but the real mystery is Jocasta. We deliver a massive comic lore deep dive on Ultron's robotic bride, her tragic creation from Janet van Dyne's brain patterns, and why she is the ultimate advocate for AI rights in the Marvel universe. Plus, we roast the absolute 200-million-dollar dumpster fire that was Secret Invasion, discuss Jonathan Hickman consulting on Avengers Doomsday, and sound off on the messy director drama happening behind the scenes of The Batman Part 2.

    Why is the MCU Multiverse Collapsing? + Vision vs Ultron & The DC Curse!

    The MCU Multiverse isn't just collapsing on its own—our heroes are the ones destroying it. Today on the Only Comics podcast, Mike and Adrian break down exactly how Doctor Strange, Wanda, Loki, and Monica Rambeau have been slowly tearing apart the fabric of reality through incursions, dreamwalking, and branch timelines. This isn't just a Kang problem anymore; it's the perfect setup for Doctor Doom to step in and save the day in Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars. Plus, with Marvel's Vision Quest officially dropping on Disney+, we are diving deep into the dark, tragic comic book lore of Vision and Ultron. What actually makes a synthesized Avenger human? We look at Vision's twisted attempt to build a robotic family and why his comic history is much darker than the MCU has shown so far. But it's not all Marvel today! We have to ask: is DC Studios officially cursed? The Batman Part II has been delayed again, and we are holding absolutely nothing back in our review of the Lanterns HBO series finale. Spoiler alert: it was a disaster. Finally, Mike drops a massive hot take on why Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is officially a better movie than Thor: Love and Thunder.

    Is Mephisto in Avengers Doomsday? + The REAL Ant Man Hank Pym!

    AWAB! We are back for another massive week in the comic book universe. Right now, it feels like the calm before the storm—and that storm is Avengers: Doomsday. With the MCU dropping massive runtimes for Vision Quest and Avengers Endgame doing huge numbers in its theatrical rerelease, we are gearing up for the next phase. But the biggest question on our minds: Is Mephisto finally pulling the strings? After his appearance in Ironheart, we break down the intense comic history between Doctor Doom and Mephisto, and whether or not the MCU is setting up the ultimate demonic deal for Doomsday and Secret Wars. Then, we are taking the scenic route with a massive deep dive into one of Marvel's most complicated and controversial founders: the REAL Hank Pym. Forget the sweet old man from the movies; we are unpacking the genius, the mental breakdowns, the creation of Ultron, and the dark moments that make Hank Pym one of the most flawed heroes in comic book history. Is he a hero, a villain, or just a guy who couldn't stop getting in his own way?

    How Avengers Endgame Encore Sets Up Doomsday!

    We just got out of the IMAX theater for the Avengers: Endgame Encore, and we need to talk about exactly how those new post-credits scenes are directly setting up Avengers: Doomsday. Is Doctor Doom coming for the Hulk? Did the Avengers' time heist actually create the multiverse incursions? We break down everything you need to know about Doom's master plan and why he might actually see the Avengers as the villains. We’re talking about the shocking Daredevil: Born Again non-renewal and what it means for the MCU's massive pivot to the mutants and the X-Men. Plus, we react to the weird new Vision Quest teaser, the fan backlash over Hal Jordan's fate in the DCU Lanterns series, and the wild rumors that Christopher Nolan is stepping in to direct a Star Wars movie. Later in the show, we hit our character deep dive on the true comic origin of Captain America—proving why Steve Rogers is the most misunderstood hero in comics and how he stands up against corrupt governments. Then, I take one for the team on the Road to Doomsday by rewatching Thor: Love and Thunder so you don't have to (spoiler: it's the absolute worst MCU movie ever made).

    Will Doctor Doom be in Avengers Endgame Encore? + The Craziest Doomsday Theories!

    Is Doctor Doom actually about to crash the Avengers: Endgame Encore release? With Marvel putting Endgame back on premium screens with brand new scenes and an exclusive look ahead, we break down how Marvel Studios is secretly setting up Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars right under our noses. In this episode, we rank the ten craziest Avengers: Doomsday fan theories on a scale of 1 to 10—from Tony Stark’s nanotech snap accidentally creating Doom, to Steve Rogers breaking reality by staying in the past, to the real reason Doctor Strange chose the one winning timeline in Infinity War. Plus, we dive into the latest test screening leaks revealing Doomsday's massive runtime and how it compares to Endgame and Infinity War. Beyond the multiverse madness, we deliver an unfiltered deep dive into Tony Stark’s comic history: Is Iron Man actually a hero, or has he spent decades acting like an egomaniacal villain who built interdimensional gulags and wiped his best friends' minds? We also tackle the massive internet meltdown over the new PS5 Marvel’s Wolverine game, rip into why Spider-Man variants like Spider-Punk shouldn't replace Peter Parker, debate DC’s botched marketing for the Knightfall sequel, breakdown Episode 5 of HBO's Lanterns, and examine the full tactical history of the Batmobile.

    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. Then, we pivot to DC to review the brutal, R-rated Batman: Knightfall animated movie and explain why this is the definitive version of Bane—not the live-action disappointments we’ve been given before. But the real meat of this episode is our massive deep dive into The Incredible Hulk. 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.
