Hulk & Bane! 2 of The Most Misunderstood Characters in ALL Comics!

Welcome back to Only Comics! This week, Mike and Adrian are taking no days off as we dive deep into the real comic book origins of some of the most misunderstood powerhouses in Marvel and DC. We break down the staggering box office domination of Spider-Man: Brand New Day and prove why superhero fatigue is a total myth. Then, we pivot to DC to review the brutal, R-rated Batman: Knightfall animated movie and explain why this is the definitive version of Bane—not the live-action disappointments we’ve been given before.

But the real meat of this episode is our massive deep dive into The Incredible Hulk. We trace Bruce Banner’s tragic origins, his explosive power scaling, and the ultimate betrayal by the Illuminati that led to the legendary Planet Hulk and World War Hulk storylines.

Plus, we discuss the canceled Spider-Noir series, the recasting in Amazon's God of War, and why Marvel's Echo completely missed the mark compared to Maya Lopez’s original comic run. Stick around for our Hidden Gem of the week
