About this episode

In this episode, Mike Garcia ranks the Top 5 BEST and Bottom 5 WORST comic book content of 2025, sharing honest takes on various projects.

2025 is officially in the books — and it was a wild year for comic book movies, shows, and animated projects. In this episode, I’m ranking my Top 5 BEST and Bottom 5 WORST comic book content of 2025 — no filters, no studio bias, just honest takes from a lifelong fan. From the highs and lows of Superman , the long-awaited return of Daredevil: Born Again , animated experiments like Marvel Zombies , and everything in between — we’re breaking down what worked , what missed , and what flat-out disappointed. Some projects surprised me. Some broke my heart. And a few made me question what studios are even thinking anymore. I also want to take a moment to wish everyone a happy belated holidays and a happy New Year . Thank you to every single person who listened, downloaded, shared, or supported the podcast this past year — it truly means more than you know. 2026 is already shaping up to be a huge year , and there are some exciting new things coming to the show that I can’t wait to share with you.
