A comics Podcast Unlike anything out there

I have been listening for quite a while now. Do you know what the best thing about this Podcast is? That no matter what combination of Hosts is on the episode, the quality is top notch For the past year I discovered and listened to the podcast until I got current, and it has been an amazing experience. The passion for comics that the hosts have is contagious (and I love comics already) I recommend this to anyone trying to learn about all aspects of comics, from creations, to collecting, reviewing, reading, relating to other media, specific books and works, manga (I know), working in the industry. They cover all the bases. This is a podcast for people who LIVE comicbooks and I can relate to that. I listen to this every Wednesday as I drive to my LCS to pick up my pulls and I love this ritual.

Best Comic Podcast Out There!

This has been my favorite comic podcast to listen to! The hosts are knowledgeable and helpful, and they all bring a diverse array of different comics/manga to the show. Cheers!

Excellent Pod

I find this podcast helpful for finding out about new comics. Hearing new tales on comics I already really like. But mostly, as a writer, I find it inspiring and helpful to listen to smart people dissecting stories. Keep it up gang!
