Fantastic source of information!
No longer do you need to be intimidated by finding a starting point for your comics. Not only is the New 52 line a great place to learn some basics of the DC universe, but this podcast is a great source for figuring out how to start. As well, if you want to know what’s going on but you REALLY don’t want to or don’t have the time to read every trade, you can get the basics to keep up with the expansive story lines within the DC lines thanks to Alex and the multitude of guest hosts who will help you wind your way through these stories.
A perfect entry point for getting back into comics
I really enjoy all of Mr. Faciane's podcasts, and this one might be my favourite! It's very clean and well planned, and there is a lot of content to enjoy. Whether you're into background or focused listening, it's an excellent podcast with a solid balance of explanation and commentary. It's really getting me back into comic books, which is something I hadn't realized I'd sort of given up on. Can't recommend it enough.
