AIPT Comics Podcast Episode 340: Symbiote surges, Spider-Man 3099, and Cullen Bunn unleashed

Welcome to AIPT Comics Podcast episode 340, your weekly fix for comic book news, reviews, and creator interviews! We’re back from SDCC and diving headfirst into a multiverse of reveals, exclusives, and symbiotes galore.

Plus, Marvel’s tabletop plans expand with a Marvel RPG x Marvel Rivals crossover one-shot, and we’ve got an exclusive first look at Vault’s just-announced Dungeon Crawler Carl graphic novel!

Then stick around for a can’t-miss interview with comics powerhouse Cullen Bunn, who joins us to talk about his upcoming horror series Deluge, launching October 8, 2025.
