The “butter effect” is officially buried and the Cyclops shades are on—Mickey’s camera is clean, Pete’s broadcasting live from a Cincinnati record store, and Tat’s ready to fight for Peacemaker like it pays his rent. We dive into Marvel Zombies (Eps. 1–2): Young Avengers mayhem, power sets finally unchained, and that slick Blade/Moon Knight mash-up that had us yelling at the screen. Plus a jellybean-style body-count game (closest wins bragging rights), and a speed run through the rumor mill: Ghost Rider leading Midnight Suns, Daredevil pulling up in Brand New Day, Harrison Ford’s Red Hulk durability, a Simpsons movie quietly jacking a 2027 Marvel slot, and when to expect that Doomsday trailer.

Pete’s mandated to finish Eps. 3–4 by next week. Place your bets. Tap in.
