In this week’s episode of That! Comic Podcast, we’re back from Monster Mania Baltimore with stories, scoops, and straight-up insanity. We break down everything we saw, including Michael Colter’s spicy take that Luke Cage should return as a crime lord — but only if he gets a full show. Vincent D’Onofrio? The man just wants Swamp Thing in the DCU more than we want a working MCU timeline.

We react to the brand-new Peacemaker Season 2 teaser and break down Nightcrawler vs. Mr. Fantastic in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. Spoiler: Alan Cumming is still out here throwing hands at 60 and smacking Pedro Pascal around like it’s nothing.

We squash rumors about Matt Reeves ditching The Batman 2 — James Gunn says he’s still locked in. Speaking of Gunn, Supergirl has officially wrapped filming and the hype is real.

We also get into the Thunderbolts director potentially jumping over to helm the X-Men reboot, and yes, there’s a wild rumor about Neve Campbell playing Polaris. Welcome to the multiverse of madness, baby.

We wrap up with a review of Tales of the Underworld and answer your listener questions — some serious, some totally unhinged. And don’t forget, COMICS! Yes, we round out the show with a slew of comic book reviews.
