Customer Reviews
Thank you…
…Oblivion Bar for always being those good friends to talk comics with. I used to support them on Patreon, but money is tight as my wife finishes NP school. Just know all their content is Golden!
Best podcast around
These guys are hands down one of the comic podcasts you can find. Their chemistry is amazing and all of their opinions are spot on. I’m so excited every time I see a new episode drop.
New Favorite Comic Book Podcast!
Love Chris and Aaron’s back and forth. Their recent‘The Flash” review is hilarious — mostly because of how much Chris hated it 😂 highly recommend!
