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.
