It’s the calm before the con! This week on the AIPT Comics Podcast, we’re previewing all the biggest comic book reveals and must-see events coming to San Diego Comic-Con 2025, from Marvel’s panel blowouts and giveaways to DC’s cosmic tournament and Image’s merch madness. Plus, we unpack the latest bombshells from Age of Revelation, as Marvel expands the X-line with new Wolverine and Spider-Man tie-ins and teases the fall of the Ultimate Universe in Endgame.
Also in the mix? A Gargoyles crossover, Jonathan Hickman’s next cosmic showdown, Paper Girls going portable, and the Ice Cream Man breaking format (again). We review our top books of the week, spotlight jaw-dropping KAPOW moments, and look ahead at the best reads coming your way next Wednesday.
Whether you’re packing for SDCC or just trying to keep up with the multiversal mayhem, don’t miss this one.
