Buckle the f*** up, interns. We’re coming out swinging this week with some of the biggest rumors hitting the MCU as we head toward Avengers Doomsday. We’re talking about the legendary incursion battle we’ve all been waiting for: Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man taking on Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. Is Tobey’s universe about to get pruned, and is that what drives him to join the Avengers? Plus, we’re breaking down why Magneto—the master of magnetism himself—is being called the true MVP of *Doomsday*. We even dive into Sir Ian McKellen’s massive slip-up about "destroying New Jersey" and what that means for the X-Men’s arrival. But it’s not just rumors. We’re getting "real" about the industry. From Marvel sitting out the Super Bowl ads to why Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom will be keeping the mask on (and keeping the accent), we’re giving you the raw, unfiltered takes you won’t get on those manufactured corporate podcasts. We also recap the *Wonder Man* premiere. Is it actually MCU gold? We break down the Simon and Trevor bromance, the "filler" episodes, and that controversial ending. **In this episode:*** Tobey vs. Hugh: The Multiverse Incursion Battle * Magneto: The Secret MVP of *Avengers: Doomsday* * RDJ’s Doctor Doom: Masks, Accents, and No Tony Variants * Marvel’s Super Bowl Sit-out: Why they don't need the hype *Wonder Man* Full Review: Better than *Falcon & Winter Soldier*? * The "Fast Forever" Era: Vin Diesel’s final release date Next Week's Road to Secret Wars ComicsCivil War #3https://share.marvel.com/sharing/issue/drn:src:marvel:unison::prod:5fb008df-4742-4c96-b30b-30899e250c99Civil War #4https://share.marvel.com/sharing/issue/drn:src:marvel:unison::prod:7fc74a24-1c67-4f72-bcc0-0b0d757a3ce2Amazing Spider-Man #534https://www.marvel.com/comics/issue/4431/amazing_spider-man_1999_534New Avengers #22https://www.marvel.com/comics/issue/4438/new_avengers_2004_22---00:00:00 - Intro Highlights: The Incursion Battle & Magneto MVP 00:01:30 - Welcome to Only Comics: Being the "Realest" in the Game 00:02:53 - Meta-Podcast Rant: Tattoos, Personality, and Romesh Ranganathan 00:07:03 - Super Bowl 2025 Preview: Patriots vs. Seahawks & Bad Bunny Halftime 00:10:14 - Marvel Sitting Out: Why they don't need the Super Bowl Hype 00:21:53 - Avengers: Doomsday Rumors: Tobey Spidey vs. Hugh Wolverine 00:25:05 - RDJ as Doctor Doom: The Mask, The Accent, and The Tony Stark Variant 00:29:03 - Magneto: The Doomsday MVP?

Did Disney just fire Mark Ruffalo? Rumors are exploding that the MCU's Hulk was let go following a controversial Golden Globes speech. We open the show digging into the "freedom of speech vs. consequences" debate and whether Disney is playing it safe or just being "crazy."Then, we pivot to the massive hype surrounding Avengers: Doomsday. Insiders claim it features the greatest opening scene in comic book movie history, rumored to be a multiversal incursion destroying the Fox X-Men universe. Is it just "glaze," or can it actually top the Dark Knight bank heist or Thanos in Infinity War? We rank the best openings of all time to find out.Also in this episode:Jason Momoa as Lobo: Why the new Supergirl teaser has us seeing "Kiss cosplay" instead of the Main Man.Sophie Turner is NOT Lara Croft: GameStop said it, we said it—this casting is a distraction.Wonder Man Reviews: 92% on Rotten Tomatoes?

The MCU isn’t dead—it just hit 1 BILLION views. In this episode of Only Comics, Mike and Adrian break down the massive success of the four Avengers Doomsday teasers and the mind-blowing "Hidden Clock" theory that connects each teaser directly to a specific scene in Avengers: Endgame. Are Steve Rogers and Loki about to reunite? We dig into the Russo Brothers’ latest comments and what this new marketing strategy means for the future of the MCU.Plus, the Road to Doomsday rewatch continues with Iron Man (2008). We revisit the movie that started it all, debating the infamous Terrence Howard vs. Marvel pay dispute—did he get robbed, or did he overvalue his role as Rhodey? We also tackle the "2016 Movie Trend" (Batman v Superman vs. Civil War), expose the latest Zack Snyder "leaks," and respond to a TikTok hater who thinks Infinity War is "for toddlers."Use our Affiliate Link if you are going to sign up for Marvel Unlimited: https://yazing.com/deals/marvel/OnlycomicsJoin the Legion of Interns to go down the rabbit hole with us on "Other Stuff": https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcCf4TY3lm9wqOH5za2_h-w/joinSupport the Show: https://onlycomicsmerch.com/Watch or listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3OAjdvYrsHMXElchOJHrz0The Road to Doomsday Watch Order: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1n5BZNzDN9UVStyERfWv4wtDAle1otDYP7txEdpYgqdM/edit?usp=sharingIf you like something from the set or even a Shirt or hat that we are wearing, you might find it on our amazon store front check it out: https://www.amazon.com/shop/onlycomicspodcast0:00 - Intro: Doomsday Clock Theory & The "Toddlers" Rant1:55 - Welcome to Only Comics & The "Peace Prize" Conspiracy7:56 - Avengers Doomsday Teasers Hit 1 BILLION Views13:39 - The Russo Bros: "Doomsday Has Already Started"16:09 - The "Hidden Clock" Theory Explained (Steve & Loki Connections)25:05 - Rumor: Steve Rogers & Loki Reunited in Doomsday?29:07 - Marvel Moving Forward with an X-Force Movie?32:52 - Wonder Man Release Date & The "Binge" Strategy36:03 - The 2016 Movie Trend: Civil War vs. BvS vs. Deadpool40:55 - Zack Snyder’s "Justice League 2" Script Leaks43:24 - Thumbs Up / Thumbs Down (News Recap)46:26 - Iron Man (2008) Rewatch: The Risk That Saved Marvel53:38 - Terrence Howard vs. Marvel: The Pay Cut Controversy58:39 - The "I Am Iron Man" Improv & Secret Identities1:11:09 - Road to Secret Wars: New Avengers #16-20 (The Collective)1:25:09 - We Respond1:47:20 - Response to Hater: "Infinity War is for Toddlers"1:53:29 - Hidden Gem2:12:30 - Agree to Disagree: X-Men Apocalypse vs. BvS2:16:40 - Outro & "Other Stuff" Tease

Is the MCU’s biggest villain actually going to start out as a hero? This week on *Only Comics*, we’re digging into a massive *Avengers: Doomsday* rumor that claims Doctor Doom isn't just the villain—he’s actively asking the Fantastic Four for help. We break down the theory that Victor travels with the team to save the multiverse from incursions (at least until he inevitably betrays everyone). It sounds a lot like Mysterio in *Far From Home*, and we’re here for the chaos.On the DC side, the casting news for *The Batman 2* is heating up. Reports say Sebastian Stan (yep, the Winter Soldier himself) has been tapped to play Harvey Dent. We discuss why this casting is perfect, how his history playing "two people" prepares him for Two-Face, and whether we'll see the coin flip in this movie or the next.Plus, we continue our **Road to Doomsday** with a rewatch of *Captain Marvel* (does it hit different in timeline order?), wrap up our **Road to Secret Wars** with the explosive finale of *House of M*, and Adrian drops a DC Hidden Gem that proves Steve Trevor is more than just a love interest. Finally, Mike nearly crashes out with a legendary rant about why homework is a scam.#AvengersDoomsday #DoctorDoom #SebastianStan #TheBatman2 #MarvelRumors #MCU #OnlyComicsUse our Affiliate Link if you are going to sign up for Marvel Unlimited: https://yazing.com/deals/marvel/OnlycomicsJoin the Legion of Interns to go down the rabbit hole with us on "Other Stuff": https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcCf4TY3lm9wqOH5za2_h-w/joinSupport the Show: https://onlycomicsmerch.com/Watch or listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3OAjdvYrsHMXElchOJHrz0The Road to Doomsday Watch Order: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1n5BZNzDN9UVStyERfWv4wtDAle1otDYP7txEdpYgqdM/edit?usp=sharingIf you like something from the set or even a Shirt or hat that we are wearing, you might find it on our amazon store front check it out: https://www.amazon.com/shop/onlycomicspodcast0:00 - Intro & The "January Void"07:48 - Avengers Doomsday: Doom Asks the F4 for Help?08:50 - Mike vs. Adrian: Pronouncing "Mjolnir" (aka Millionaire)10:14 - Rumor: Who Wields the Hammer Against Doom?16:26 - Doomsday Plot Leaks: The Void & Incursions21:34 - Namor & Sue Storm: A Desert Romance?27:17 - DC News: Sebastian Stan is Harvey Dent in The Batman 237:15 - Thumbs Up / Thumbs Down: News Speedrun40:37 - Road to Doomsday: Captain Marvel Rewatch43:21 - The Tesseract & Infinity Stone Lore50:26 - Mar-Vell Changes, Skrulls & Kree History1:10:37 - Captain Marvel's Power Levels & Binary Mode1:20:21 - Road to Secret Wars: House of M (Part 2)1:26:38 - The Gala & Doom's Appearance1:38:58 - "No More Mutants" - The Finale Breakdown1:47:24 - We Respond2:04:14 - Mike's Rant: Why Homework is Bullsh*t2:24:57 - Hidden Gem: Steve Trevor (Wonder Woman's Anchor)2:42:09 - Agree to Disagree2:46:58 - Outro

Welcome back to Only Comics! We are kicking off 2026 by dissecting the biggest "what ifs" and future leaks in the comic book world. First up, we settle the debate: In a fight between Spider-Man and Wolverine, who actually walks away the winner? The answer might surprise the die-hard Logan fans.Then, we break down the heartbreaking reveal from Ryan Coogler about the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever that could have been. We’re talking T’Challa, a father-son ritual, and a massive war with Namor that was scrapped—and honestly, it sounds way better than what we got.We also go deep on the latest Avengers: Doomsday teasers. Why is Thor praying to Odin before battle? Is Jean Grey confirmed dead in the MCU? Plus, Mike starts his massive MCU Timeline Rewatch with Captain America: The First Avenger, and Adrian drops a Hidden Gem on DC’s Mother Box technology that proves it's more than just a glorified iPhone.Finally, we jump into the reality-warping madness of House of M (Issues 1-4) in our "Read a Comic" segment. It’s a packed episode to start the year right.

Is Marvel fumbling the bag by hiding Doctor Doom, or is this the "Jaws" strategy at work?On this episode of Only Comics, we’re breaking down the latest Avengers: Doomsday controversy. Everyone is freaking out because we haven’t seen RDJ in the mask yet, but we explain why keeping the monster off-screen is actually a genius move. You don't need to see Doom until you're sitting in the theater with your $32 popcorn.Plus, we react to the leaked X-Men footage where Cyclops is finally—FINALLY—getting the respect he deserves (and looking comic-accurate while doing it).But the real meat of this episode is our Deep Dive into Omega Level Mutants. We explain exactly what "Omega Level" means—it’s not just about strength, it’s about having no upper limit. Then, we get into the absolute insanity of Legion. Imagine a character who doesn't just have a toolbox of powers but has a "3D Printer" that can create any power he needs instantly. We break down why he and The Sentry are the most broken characters in Marvel history.Use our Affiliate Link if you are going to sign up for Marvel Unlimited: https://yazing.com/deals/marvel/OnlycomicsJoin the Legion of Interns to go down the rabbit hole with us on "Other Stuff": https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcCf4TY3lm9wqOH5za2_h-w/joinSupport the Show: https://onlycomicsmerch.com/Watch or listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3OAjdvYrsHMXElchOJHrz0If you like something from the set or even a Shirt or hat that we are wearing, you might find it on our amazon store front check it out: https://www.amazon.com/shop/onlycomicspodcast0:00 - Cold Open: The "Jaws" Strategy & X-Men Leak1:50 - Intro: Turning 40, "Black Santa" & Snowstorms8:33 - News Start: Avengers Doomsday Teasers10:15 - Doomsday Leaks: Steve Rogers & Thor's New Look12:30 - X-Men Leaks: Cyclops "Glazing" & Nokia Phones16:15 - Is Hiding Doctor Doom a Mistake?28:00 - Doomsday Rumors: Who is the Traitor?39:21 - Secret Wars: Tobey, Hugh & Deadpool Roles43:40 - Spider-Man 4 Rumors: Sadie Sink & Claire Temple52:00 - DC News: Snyder's Regret & Supergirl Screenings54:24 - Supergirl Reactions: Is Milly Alcock the next RDJ?59:54 - Booster Gold & Batman Brave and the Bold1:05:37 - Thumbs Up / Thumbs Down1:13:20 - Road to Secret Wars: The Sentry (New Avengers)1:32:30 - Mental Health as a Superpower (Sentry Analysis)1:40:32 - We Respond: Fan Comments & Questions1:49:12 - Hidden Gem: What is an Omega Level Mutant?2:07:21 - Deep Dive: Legion (David Haller) Explained2:22:25 - Agree to Disagree: Cap vs Iron Man & More2:28:23 - Outro & 2026 Predictions

It is officially Christmas season—not just a day, a motherfking season—and we are crashing out over the biggest MCU leaks of the year. First up, the Avengers: Doomsday teaser leaked, and guess who’s back? Steve Rogers. Not Captain America, but Old Man Steve riding a motorcycle 90 years later. Is it a cash grab? I fking hope so because they need to make $2 billion. We break down what this means for Sam Wilson, the timeline rules, and why people need to stop crying about it "cheapening" the story.Then, we settle the debate once and for all: The X-Men would absolutely DESTROY the Avengers and the Fantastic Four. You think Hulk or Thor can stop Phoenix? Jean Grey would turn their costumes into gold stars before they even threw a punch. Adrian agrees—it’s not even a skirmish, it’s a wipeout.We also dive into the New Avengers run (issues 4-6), where Wolverine gets stabbed in the neck with his own claws by Spider-Woman, and Sauron gets his pterodactyl brains blown out in the Savage Land. Finally, for our Hidden Gem, we’re talking about Santa Claus. Did you know DC’s Santa trained Batman in combat?. Or that the legend of flying reindeer might come from shamans drinking reindeer pee after they ate magic mushrooms?. It’s the original eggnog, dude.Use our Affiliate Link if you are going to sign up for Marvel Unlimited: https://yazing.com/deals/marvel/OnlycomicsJoin the Legion of Interns to go down the rabbit hole with us on "Other Stuff": https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcCf4TY3lm9wqOH5za2_h-w/joinSupport the Show: https://onlycomicsmerch.com/Watch or listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3OAjdvYrsHMXElchOJHrz0If you like something from the set or even a Shirt or hat that we are wearing, you might find it on our amazon store front check it out: https://www.amazon.com/shop/onlycomicspodcast00:00:00 - Intro & Christmas Banter00:07:08 - The 2025 MCU Lineup00:08:16 - LEAK: Steve Rogers Returns in Doomsday00:14:39 - Rant: Is RDJ as Doom a Cash Grab?00:24:00 - Deadpool in Doomsday & X-Men Power Levels00:28:40 - Peggy Carter Variants & Captain Carter Fatigue00:32:30 - Thor's Prayer: Will He Die in Doomsday?00:37:50 - Spider-Man 4 Leaks: Organic Webs & Punisher00:47:40 - YouTube BANS Fake Trailer Channels00:52:50 - Netflix vs. Paramount: The Hostile Takeover00:58:35 - Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua Reaction01:01:42 - Thumbs Up / Thumbs Down (News Recap)01:06:20 - DEBATE: Why X-Men Destroy The Avengers01:20:23 - Comic Read: New Avengers (The Breakout & Savage Land)01:53:00 - Krispy Kreme vs. Dunkin Donuts01:58:50 - We Respond02:21:42 - Hidden Gem02:43:32 - The "Magic Mushroom" Origin of Santa02:49:03 - Agree to Disagree02:51:36 - Outro & Holiday Wishes

What’s up, League of Interns! Welcome back to Only Comics. This week is absolute madness. Literally hours after we recorded this, the Avengers Doomsday trailer leaked, confirming the massive hype train is real. We break down the rumors that led up to it—specifically the "4-Trailer Strategy" Disney is using for Avatar and the shocking Wolverine rumor that insiders claim will rival the "Snap" in Endgame. (Hint: It involves Magneto and a whole lot of pain).We also react to the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow teaser. Is James Gunn’s "boozy, depressed" Kara Zor-El the fresh take we need, or are we worried? Plus, we break down the Street Fighter trailer—it’s colorful, it’s goofy, and we have some strong opinions on that Bison casting.Later, we continue the Road to Secret Wars with a breakdown of New Avengers (The Breakout) and a Hidden Gem deep dive into The Sentry. Is Bob Reynolds just a "meth-head Superman," or is the Void the MCU's next extinction-level threat?Use our Affiliate Link if you are going to sign up for Marvel Unlimited: https://yazing.com/deals/marvel/OnlycomicsJoin the Legion of Interns to go down the rabbit hole with us on "Other Stuff": https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcCf4TY3lm9wqOH5za2_h-w/joinSupport the Show: https://onlycomicsmerch.com/Watch or listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3OAjdvYrsHMXElchOJHrz0If you like something from the set or even a Shirt or hat that we are wearing, you might find it on our amazon store front check it out: https://www.amazon.com/shop/onlycomicspodcast0:00 - Cold Open: Doomsday Leaks & "Hulk Mike" Rant1:22 - Welcome to Only Comics (Winter Wonderland)4:23 - The Doomsday Trailer Strategy: 4 Trailers for Avatar?16:58 - The "Shocking" Wolverine Rumor: Magneto's Revenge?21:40 - The Batman Part II: Scarlett Johansson & Long Halloween33:10 - Box Office: Zootopia 2 Hits $1 Billion44:13 - Supergirl Trailer Reaction: Drunk, Depressed & Dangerous57:09 - Netflix vs. Paramount: The Hostile Takeover1:04:59 - Street Fighter Trailer: Comedy or Action?

Is James Gunn’s DCU dead on arrival? Netflix has officially entered an agreement to buy Warner Bros., HBO Max, and the entire DC Universe in a massive $82.7 billion deal. The biggest question on everyone's mind: Will Netflix finally #RestoreTheSnyderverse?In this breaking news special, we break down the industry-shaking merger and what it means for the future of Batman and Superman. We analyze whether the streaming giant will let James Gunn finish his vision or if the "Snyder Cult" will finally get their wish.
