Episode 73: 2026: The Comic Book Comeback
Jan 09, 2026

2026 is shaping up to be one hell of a comeback year for comic book content—and it feels different this time.

In this episode, I break down my most highly anticipated movies, shows, and projects of 2026, from Avengers: Doomsday, The Boys Season 5, Supergirl, and everything in between. After a few rocky years for the genre, this might be the year that reminds us why we fell in love with comic book storytelling in the first place.

But this isn’t just my list.

I want to hear from you.

What are you...

Episode 72: Ranking Comic Content (Marvel & DC) of 2025
Jan 06, 2026

2025 is officially in the books — and it was a wild year for comic book movies, shows, and animated projects.

In this episode, I’m ranking my Top 5 BEST and Bottom 5 WORST comic book content of 2025 — no filters, no studio bias, just honest takes from a lifelong fan.

From the highs and lows of Superman, the long-awaited return of Daredevil: Born Again, animated experiments like Marvel Zombies, and everything in between — we’re breaking down what worked, what missed, and what flat-out disappointed.

Some projects surprised me. Some broke my heart. And a few made me qu...

Episode 71: Why Steve Rogers Coming Back is NOT a Problem, it's a Solution
Dec 19, 2025

Marvel bringing back Steve Rogers isn’t a desperate move — it’s a necessary one.

Since Endgame, Marvel has slowly lost the core audience that helped turn the MCU into a cultural phenomenon. Box office numbers reflect it, fan excitement has cooled, and many Phase 4 and 5 characters simply haven’t connected the same way. Bringing back Chris Evans as Steve Rogers isn’t about undoing the past — it’s about restoring the emotional foundation that made Marvel work in the first place.

In this episode, I break down why Steve Rogers returning could help bring back the magic...

Episode 70: My Thoughts on Supergirl Trailer | Disney investing $1 Billion on OpenAI
Dec 12, 2025

In today’s episode, I break down my honest first reaction to the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow trailer. Was it mind-blowing? Not exactly. Was it bad? Not at all. I get into why I think it lands somewhere in the middle—and why some of the fan criticisms actually make sense. Yes, I see the comparisons to the Guardians of the Galaxy tone, but at the end of the day, every director has their own flavor, and we all gravitate toward the styles we love most.

Then I pivot to the big industry shake-up: Disney investing $1 billion into...

Episode 69: Netflix Buys Warner Bros: The Shake-Up Explained
Dec 09, 2025

Outside the Comics Vol 3 dives deep into one of the biggest entertainment shake-ups in years: Netflix buying Warner Bros. Discovery. In this episode, we break down what the deal means, the entire streaming industry, and the ever-changing movie theater business.

We talk about the pros and cons of the theatrical model, why Netflix insists on keeping certain WBD pillars intact, and how Paramount is gearing up to overbid and crash the streaming party.

Whether you love movies of Hollywood or prefer the streaming business, this episode covers everything you need to know about the future...

Episode 68: The Batman 2: Scarlett Johansson as the Phantasm?!
Dec 04, 2025

Breaking news! Reports are coming out that Scarlett Johansson is in talks to join The Batman 2 — and if the rumors are true, chances are she’ll be playing Andrea Beaumont, setting up the long-awaited live-action debut of The Phantasm.

In today’s episode, I break down why this casting news is massive not only for fans of Mask of the Phantasm, but for the entire future of comic book movies. If Reeves is truly bringing Andrea into the sequel, we might be witnessing the setup for one of the greatest Batman stories ever told on film.

Episode 67: We HATE AI Dubbing!!!
Dec 02, 2025

In this episode, I dive into the uncomfortable truth: Marvel’s hype just isn’t hitting like it used to. With no major releases in a while, the buzz is fading fast—and it’s got me genuinely worried about how Avengers: Doomsday will perform when it finally drops. Then we head over to the DC side, where I break down why the highly requested Blue & Gray Batman suit just doesn’t land for me, even if the fandom’s been begging for it.

To wrap it up, I go off on Amazon/Prime Video’s atrocious AI dubbing for...

Episode 66: Stranger Things 5, Supergirl Hype & My Final Word on the SnyderVerse
Nov 29, 2025

In today’s episode, I dive into my thoughts on Stranger Things Season 5 so far — why I’m loving it, why I’m praying plot armor doesn’t tank the finale, and my fear of it turning into another Game of Thrones Season 8 situation.

I also talk about the rumored Supergirl trailer dropping next week and what I really want to see within the movie with her character embracing her RAGE.

Then, to close things out, I finally address the delusional SnyderVerse cult once and for all. No more debates, no more convincing people with basic comm...

Episode 65: The Animated SnyderVerse: The Only Real Way It Comes Back
Nov 25, 2025

The SnyderVerse returning in animated form might be the most realistic—and honestly the BEST—path forward for Zack Snyder, Warner Bros., and the entire DC fandom.

In this episode, Mike Garcia breaks down why animation gives Snyder more freedom than he ever had in live action, why it avoids the studio politics holding everything hostage, and why this move would finally expose who the real Snyder fans are… and who’s just clout-chasing because they hate James Gunn.

We dive into:

Why animation is NOT a downgradeHow Snyder could go full mythic without budget c...

Episode 64: Why the SnyderVerse Is Dead: Breaking Down the Delusion
Nov 21, 2025

In this episode, we break down the truth behind the SnyderVerse cult, the bogus DCU rumors flooding YouTube and Twitter, and why some fans refuse to let go. From false “Saudi Arabia buying Warner Bros” conspiracies to the growing hate campaign against James Gunn, we separate fact from fan fiction.

We also analyze Grace Randolph’s controversial 44% SnyderVerse poll, the misleading narratives pushed by influencers like Tyrus Magnus and Cosmic Book News, and the toxic hype machine keeping the SnyderVerse dream alive.

If you want real talk, facts, and an honest look at modern DC fandom...

Episode 63: Wonder Woman Coming to Man of Tomorrow?
Nov 18, 2025

In today’s episode, I break down the latest rumor: Wonder Woman possibly appearing in the Man of Tomorrow movie. Reports say they’re searching for a tall, physically built actress in her 20s… but honestly? I’m skeptical. James Gunn and Peter Safran haven’t confirmed anything, so take this one with a grain of salt.

I also dive into Spider-Man’s potential new Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus. And look—these characters are iconic, but I’m really hoping Marvel gives us some fresh villains making their live-action debut instead of reusing the same faces.

Episode 62: Disney+ Embraces AI — Is Bob Iger Risking Everything?
Nov 14, 2025

In today’s episode of Outside The Comics: Vol 3, we dive into three major conversations shaking up the fandom. First, Brainiac is officially confirmed as the main villain for Superman: Man of Tomorrow — so who should portray him, and what form of Brainiac would make the biggest impact in James Gunn’s DC Universe?

Next, we shift to the casting world as Brie Larson steps in as Rosalina. Despite the online criticism, I break down why her genuine love for Nintendo makes her a natural fit — and why the hate needs to stop.

Episode 61: Predator Badlands Review | A Jimmy Olsen TV Series???
Nov 11, 2025

In today’s episode, I share my spoiler-free review of Predator: Badlands — and while the Predator makes an appearance, it doesn’t quite feel like a true Predator film. The action delivers, but the humor? Maybe a bit too much. Let’s talk about those mixed tones.

Next up, Jimmy Olsen — yes, Superman’s pal — is getting his own spinoff series. At first, I wasn’t sold… but hearing it could expand the DC universe and spotlight villains? That changed my mind.

And finally, there’s trouble brewing at Funko. Could the collectible giant really go under next year...

Episode 60: Pre-Judging Predator Badlands | GEN V Season 2 Talk
Nov 07, 2025

Everyone’s already picking sides on Predator: Badlands — some calling it great, others trashing it before it’s even out. A lot of that hate seems to come from the idea of the Predator being the good guy this time. In this episode, I talk about that rush to judgment, how negativity drives so many opinions online, and why I’m holding off until I actually see it.

I also share some thoughts on Gen V Season 2 — why it didn’t land the way I hoped, how the Gen Z focus threw me off, and why that same old “lo...

Episode 59: The TomorrowVerse Had So Much Potential… And Wasted It
Nov 03, 2025

Alright, let’s talk about the TomorrowVerse — DC’s latest animated universe. I watched every movie, from Superman: Man of Tomorrow to Crisis on Infinite Earths, and honestly? Only The Long Halloween really hits. The rest? Mid, messy, and a little confusing. We’ll break down the highs, the lows, the wasted characters, and the few moments that still made me smile.

If Warner Bros. really gets bought out, what does that mean for DC Studios and James Gunn’s big DCU plan? Does everything get rebooted again? Or could new ownership actually save it? In this episode, I break down how a possible sale could shake up the creative side, what the competition with Disney and Marvel really means, and why Hollywood is all about that fight for control.

On this episode of Outside the Comics: Vol 3, we’re talking about Zack Snyder dropping that hint that Henry Cavill is still Superman… and honestly? Let people believe what they want. There’s no point in beating a dead horse to a bloody pulp — especially when it comes to hardcore Snyder fanatics. Everyone’s got their version of the story, and that’s okay.

Then we’ll jump into some of the hottest new comics dropping this week — what’s worth grabbing, what surprised me, and what’s already on my pull list.

Episode 55: James Gunn’s DCU: Is It Already Falling Apart?
Oct 17, 2025

Everybody’s got an opinion about James Gunn’s DC Universe — and most of them ain’t shy about it. From “his movies all look the same” to “he’s just making Guardians of the Galaxy again, but with DC characters,” critics like Critical Drinker, Nerdrotic, and the rest have been lighting him up online.

But hold on — is it really that bad, or are people just stuck in the Snyderverse?

In this episode, we’re breaking down the 10 biggest complaints people have thrown at Gunn’s new DC era — from Superman, Peacemaker Season 2, to Creature Commandos — and w...

Episode 53: My Thoughts on Peacemaker Season 2
Oct 11, 2025

Here it is, the finale of Peacemaker Season 2, and I will say, it wasn't as grand as I thought it would be. Mostly because of the quick pacing, and the lack of the emotional depth of Chris Smith being in his "perfect world". But also, we as an audience have higher expectations only because we can predict on what may happen next in the grand world of the DCU. Yet we cannot forget, the core of the story here is about Peacemaker, his road to redemption, and his desire for being a part of a family. Let me know...

After losing his family again for the second time in this Nazi-world and believing that everything he touches dies, he now becomes a broken man. With the finale being a week away, what do you think will happen? Is someone or something coming through those dimensional doors? Will Keith get his revenge against Chris? Will we get a longer episode this time? And what of the other big cameos? Let me know what your thoughts...

In this episode, I kick things off with Superman — and the success the movie is having post-theatre, and haters are still trying to cope that it "failed". Then I jump into Marvel Zombies, where Wanda has gone full Queen of the Dead, trapping the world in her twisted reality… but does the show actually land the horror it promised? Finally, I wrap things up with Alien: Earth, and why Disney’s take completely misses what made the Alien franchise terrifying in the first place.

Sep 22, 2025

On this episode of Outside the Comics: Vol 3, there's this one troll out there (and more) that got so upset on Sasha Bordeaux being a Cyborg, and truly believed she is THE Cyborg from the DCU. This mindset opens up the talk of how so many trolls feel about women in general, being the frontrunner or not, in the world of comics. All of it is rooted from the "M-SHE-U" of course, but if we changed our mindset and give these characters to different sets of hands, would it be better?

DC recently pulled the plug on the Red Hood series following backlash over writer Gretchen Felker-Martin praising Charlie Kirk’s death. In this episode, I dive deep into the controversy — not just the cancellation itself, but the bigger picture of how we as fans draw the line between fiction and reality. Why is it that we love horror, villains, and dark stories in comics and movies, yet we recoil when people cross that line into celebrating real-world tragedy? I break down the difference between enjoying fictional darkness and endorsing real harm, using this moment as a clear example. All that...

In this episode, I break down both sides of the story: the human side, where a beloved actor who’s given us over 20 years of Beast Boy deserves support, and the business side, where studios are always looking out for schedules, consistency, and profit. But at the end of the day, I can’t help but lean toward Greg and the actor’s perspective. This episode is about what it me...

A topic that I've been trying to avoid for quite some time. The topic about politics in superhero movies & TV shows. With people taking it to the extreme, especially with Superman being out in some states, it's time for me to share how I truly feel about politics as a whole. Whether it's in Marvel, DC, or even the Boys, we all have different opinions, and some are not always viewed the same way as others. But what is it all about at the end of the day? Telling a great story. As always, Like, Subscribe, Share and Download...

Episode 26: Ironheart SUCKS... Plain & Simple
Jul 03, 2025

Not sugarcoating a damn thing, Ironheart was not good at all. All episodes are on Disney Plus, and the show did not deliver in anyway. From the insufferable character of Riri Williams, to the ending of the Devil's Deal, even targeting toxic fans of saying, "if you don't like Ironheart, you're a racist", I target all of it and more and hold nothing back. In addition, rest in peace to Jim Shooter, comic book writer for Secret Wars, and talk on Marvel Rivals Season 3 and the debut of the new Queen in Black. As always, don't forget to Like...

Episode 25: Ironheart is... Not Good... So Far
Jun 29, 2025

I know it's early for me to do a quick review of Ironheart since it has not concluded, but I feel like I have to get this off my chest and just express how I feel. It's back to identity politics and forced diversity when it comes to this show. Ironheart & the character of Riri Williams is disappointing me, and here I go into detail as to why. Plus, the Batman 2 script is finally finished, and I touch on Jon Watts not doing the Fantastic Four like he originally was supposed to. As always, don't forget to Like, Subscribe...

Jun 23, 2025

BREAKING NEWS!!!! Jon Bernthal aka The Punisher, will be in Spider-Man 4 (Brand New Day)! How awesome is that?!

Plus, we get 2 more crossovers confirmed for DC/Marvel. The first is Daredevil & Green Arrow, while the second is Captain America & Wonder Woman.

A Rolling Stone Interview just released with James Gunn where he talks more in detail on his upcoming Superman movie, the state of the DCU, the challenges and anything else that he focuses on when it comes to his vision. Dare I say, I am excited even more! Here I break down into the most important segments and what we can expect from the Son of Krypton.

Episode 22: Happy Father's Day!!!
Jun 16, 2025

Hey there everyone, Happy Father's Day!!! Today being a short episode, I decided to talk briefly on the best fathers that comics have given us. From Alfred Pennyworth to Batman and Uncle Ben to Spider-Man, even Jonathan Kent to Superman, these dads have proven time and time again why they are the best. Also, I kinda reveal why the Fantastic Four (if it wasn't obvious), why it's called "First Steps", and teasing how much of a big that little baby is. As always, Like, Subscribe, Share and Download!

Episode 21: Killer of Killers Is a Game-Changer
Jun 12, 2025

So I finally watched Predator: Killer of Killers, and it was AWESOME!!! Probably the best Predator movie since Predator 1 starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. The amalgamation with the different time periods really has shown the open world of how Predator is supposed to be. Especially my favorite middle section of this movie. Spoiler free on this review, but I HIGHLY recommend it greatly. In addition, the Video Game Strike has ENDED. Plus, three Miles Morales in Beyond the Spider-Verse, some James Gunn news on a new Wonder Woman movie being written, and how I truly feel on endings with series finales...

Episode 20: Blank Panther is now White
Jun 08, 2025

Another controversy to talk about, where the comic book writer, Christopher Priest, has made Black Panther, white. Here I give a perspective on how this can be one of the funniest things that can be done when it comes to forced DEI, and how hypocritical it can be when it works one way and not the other. I would LOVE to hear your thoughts on this controversy, and if it matters in any way. Plus, Dakota Johnson says people behind the scenes are to blame for Madame Web's failure. A new Wolverine toy revealed by Hot Toys, and so...

Trailer linked below! Also, we talk on upcoming movies, and talk on the ticket sales crashing for Fantastic Four: Four Steps, and how the theatre can be a pain in the ass still for me to go to.

May 31, 2025

So here we are, awaiting more news of what may happen with Avenger's Doomsday, and Chris Hemsworth wrote a long message, thanking the fans for being Thor for 15 years and says, "Next Up, Doomsday". Is this is final goodbye as the character, are we going to get a proper ending for Thor like we have for Tony and Cap?? We can theorize, but only time will tell. Plus, more details revealed on the cancelled Black Panther game. Marvel will not have an H panel at SDCC this year, and two Penguins coming up on Variety's Actors on Actors together...

May 24, 2025

Breaking News is in, and Avengers Doomsday & Secret Wars has been delayed. I know this may be frustrating to a lot of people, but to me, it actually is a good thing. Greatness cannot be rushed when it comes to production, especially under the direction of the Russos. Let's be patient, and look forward to something awesome! Also also, The Punisher (in the comics) is back!!! After the comic series got someone cancelled and changed by the WOKE Culture, it is now back, and I'm really happy about that.

Episode 15: We need MORE Elseworld Storylines!
May 22, 2025

So just recently, Jeffrey Dean Morgan has revealed that he was supposed to play Flashpoint's Batman as Thomas Wayne. Unfortunately, as plans changed, it never came to pass. Which makes me wonder, what other Live action elseworld story, aside from "The Batman" & "Joker", could we have gotten or should we get? Could Marvel perhaps get into that more and not do what Marvel's What If did, but do their own thing whether they reboot Marvel or not? Such an interesting thought to have!

Episode 14: Why Fans Hate Ironheart?
May 17, 2025

So I've been thinking a lot in terms of what are the reasons that the Marvel show, Ironheart, is so hated by so many other people when it hasn't come out yet. Is it the character Riri Williams herself in not making much of an impact in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever? Could it be that people see her as a fake version of Tony Stark, or is it that because Disney+ has failed with a lot of their shows, this is another one waiting to happen? Here I break down all of the possible reasons and also give reasons...

Episode 11: Netflix's Devil May Cry... Yeahhh... No....
May 08, 2025

As a bonus episode, to talk pop culture and other shows I enjoy, I wanted to dive into Netflix's recent animated series of Devil May Cry. And wow... this show had A LOT of problems. From the character assassinations of Dante and Lady, to the unnecessary political undertones, the CGI and so much more. I think there's a reason why being successful in video game adaptations is extremely difficult. But I would love to hear what you think of the show itself.

Daredevil Born Again Season 1 has concluded, and I definitely have a lot to say. The wasted potential of the villain, Muse. The season finale not showing one other hero with riots and destruction going on in NYC, NOT ONE! But, with where the show is going, chances are, the Defenders will be making their return, and looks like the story will heavily focus on the comic called "The Devil's Reign". What did you think of the show as a whole? Did you enjoy it, did you think it could've been better or was it worse than you thought? Let...

Granted yes, it does involve Spider-Man (to an extent), the DC trilogy (Batman, Superman, & Wonder Woman), and finally Wolverine, but these other storylines really has piqued my interests, and perhaps it could for you as well!

Yes, the season thus far has been a bit of a slow burn, but this was the payoff we absolutely needed before the season finale!

I do not understand for the life of me, of why extreme Zack Snyder cult fans absolutely despise James Gunn and Superman. With the latest trailer/movie clip that just released, the cult is at it again, complaining on why Superman is screaming over the sun hitting him, or how Krypto is literally causing Superman pain. So in this episode, I'M CALLING OUT THE CULTISTS!!! I defend James Gunn and Superman and theorizing why the hardcore Snyder fans will never move on from the FAILURE of the Snyderverse.
