Is Marvel's massive new Armageddon 2026 event a brilliant, universe-shaking saga... or a foolish gamble destined for executive failure?In this episode of Comical Opinions, we break down why Marvel Comics executives are risking a potential $200 million legacy collapse by betting everything on yet another major Marvel reboot and crossover.
