Mr_Ruedan ,

Super fun show

I started listening think it would be just a summary of older comic books. Which it is. But it is so much more! These two are super fun to listen to. Great show. Definitely recommend it to any comic book fan, or just someone wanting something different. You will laugh and learn about older comic books.

Introduced me to comic books!

Never in a million years did I think I’d listen to a podcast about comic books, let alone fall crazy in love! Dr. Bobb and Dr. Husband are just a lot of fun. Thanks!
