Podcast - Bryan E. West

Optic Blast!

Optic Blast! is the comic book discussion show where comedy and comics collide. A monthly podcast that covers the highs, lows and most importantly the in-betweens of the comic book medium. Here at Optic Blast we love comics, and we hope to provide an insightful commentary on the comic book medium, but we’re not above making lewd jokes along the way.
