Customer Reviews
Great!
Great content. Knows what they are talking about!
Dumpster-diving for comics is fun!
Mike & Jessika do a great job sharing the joy that comes with finding hidden gems buried in the discount bins. Love the alternating format between mini episodes and deep dives. Keep it up, guys!
Review
This show is awesome! Every episode is so much fun to listen to. No matter the topic they always seem to make it interesting. It’s always so exciting to see what gold they find in the dollar bins! It could be one of the most poorly written comics ever (super pro) and they could still make me want to read it. I also love how welcoming they are into the community. It’s so nice to be here.
