Customer Reviews
Comic Book Awesome
Alex, Justin, and Pete are easily one of my favorite comic podcasters and you should definitely check them out. They all have distinct and unique oppinions and knowledge of comic books so you're definitely not getting just one view on the books. Lots of funny banter and I've discovered many new comic books because of things they suggest. Keep 'em coming!!!
THREE DUDES ON A COUCH RULE!!!!!
Don't change a thing! Okay..... maybe improve the audio a little, but this format is WAYYYYYY cooler than the screen of green. Awkward, a little crowded, and yet you guys look so much more comfortable. PLEASE don't change it. I am not kidding!
Great Podcast
These guys are funny and they tell me what I want to know of the comic book world
