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.
