X Men 97 Season 2: The Apocalypse Threat + Backrooms Crushes Star Wars!

What's up everybody, we are back for another week of Only Comics, where we discuss comics and only comics... mostly. We've got a jam-packed show for you today. First up, we are breaking down the brand new X-Men '97 Season 2 trailer. If Marvel handles this right, we are about to get the greatest on-screen version of Apocalypse we've ever seen. Forget that blue Ivan Ooze cosplay—we are doing a deep dive into the First Mutant's twisted origins, his Celestial armor, and why his brutal "survival of the fittest" mentality makes him the ultimate game-changing villain. We're also talking about the absolute box office shocker of the year. The indie horror movie Backrooms is completely dominating the theaters, putting major studio projects like The Mandalorian & Grogu to shame. It goes to show you don't need a $200 million budget to tell a story people actually want to see. Plus, we continue our Road to Doomsday journey with an Avengers: Infinity War review, breaking down why Thanos is the absolute gold standard for villains and tearing apart the myth that he had "years of build-up." We also get into the wild science behind how Pym Particles actually work before we hit Endgame next week. Adrian comes through with an epic Hidden Gem covering a highly versatile and incredibly powerful mutant, but you'll have to listen to find out exactly who it is! And as always, we wrap the show up by dragging some of the absolute worst takes from our TikTok comment section. Hit play, sit back, and read a comic. The Next Movie on our Road to Doomsday is Avengers: Endgame The Road to Secret Wars Continues this Thursday on Mike Check!!
