Customer Reviews
Considering the Geekbox features little to no comic talk...
...this podcast is a godsend.
Ryan Higgins offers a unique perspective as both a comics fan and comics retailer, and Brock is a good counter-balance to the nerd-gasmic tendencies of the former. Glad to see comics getting some serious, in-depth discussion.
Fantastic new podcast!
Its like having a comic book store in your ears! Now if they could just work on the other senses.
Great podcast
Ryan and Brock are great! Episode 3 really nailed down the feel of the podcast! Can't wait to hear more!
