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.
But the real meat of this episode is our "Who The F*** Is?" segment on the OG X-Men commander, Scott Summers. Forget the weak, laser-shooting Boy Scout you saw in the Fox movies. We're breaking down the true concussive power of Cyclops' "punch dimension" portals, his tragic origins, and why he's actually one of the most misunderstood badasses in Marvel history.
We also hit Thor: Ragnarok on our Road to Doomsday, drop a Hidden Gem on Marvel's Warwolf, and end the show with a legendary roast of a commenter who had a little too much to say. Hit that subscribe button, grab your ruby quartz visor, and let's get into it!
