Customer Reviews
Most in-depth comic book podcast
This group has created the perfect comic-book podcast. They discuss upcoming comics and old comics, comic movies, and other related subjects like any group of friends would. Their personalities come through very well on the cast and they don't mind disagreeing with each other. The podcast has featured some great interviews with many creators including Stan Lee. They feature a book-of-the-month club that discusses one book that the listeners have had one opportunity to buy. They also have contests, read letters and have a trivia game each week. Besides being the most interesting comic book podcasts, this is the first podast I listen to. Great quality, interesting personalities, and lots of content.
Simply the best comic book related podcast available.
I have tried many of the other comic book podcasts (when I waiting for a new GCS) and I have found them lacking. This show captures the feeling of hanging with your friends and talking the geek. The dynamic between the regular hosts and even the guest stars is what makes this a stellar podcast. They produce a lot of content so you will have lots to listen too. They involve the listeners so get ready to post on the message boards or compete in a contest to win comics. If you are lucky, maybe even be part of the show. Going back to get all of the older episodes and listening in order is similar to discovering a cool run of comics. You can't wait to get to the next one. Highly recomended and throughly enertaining!
Not only the best comic podcast, one of the best overall
Great information, great personalities, and one of the most consistent podcasts I've ever listenened too. The show is supposed to be released twice a week, but there are some weeks that there are three or four episodes. Honestly, one of the best podcasts I subscribe too.
