Customer Reviews
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!
These guys are hilarious!
Fun to listen to 👍
With It!
Fantastic tour of a trippy era of DC comics (that I didn’t know existed) by two hosts clearly having a blast. Light hearted, but with genuine respect for the martial and creators. So glad that I discovered this, with years of episodes to catch up on.
