I've listened to a bunch of comic book podcast and they usually suffer from poor quality, boring personalities, & crappy opinions. Sometimes they even go completely off topic & talk about nonsense that has nothing to do with comics.
I started to think that comic book nerds just couldn't cut the mustard when it came to podcasting. That is until I listened to Behind the Panels. Behind the Panels cuts the mustard and cuts the malarkey. They actually focus on relevant comics and if they go off topic it's still entertaining. It's quickly become one of my favorite podcast.
My favorite segment is "What We've Been Reading" where they talk about the current books released the week of the podcast, & they actually give detailed opinions explaining why they did or didn't like what they've read.
Their personalities are charming and entertaining.
Yes, they can make really corny jokes and break into gutbusting laughter over it, but the sincere fun that they're having, bleeds through and warms your heart... most of the time.
If I had anything to suggest it might be to, every once in a while, review some classic comics from previous eras. It'd be interesting to hear what they had to say about comics dating back to the 30's all up to the 90's, even if they were to just poke fun at them. Can't wait for the next episode, guys!
