Hi
Hi
thanks for the review! fully agree with everything said ✌️✌️
Although they obviously share a love for comics and all things geeky, there is too much dead air where I picture them sitting around looking at each other wondering who's going to say something next. The first 15 minutes of every podcast where they basically talk about themselves before they get to actual comic talk is so tedious I find myself turning them off. I've unsubscribed and will check back someday to see if they've livened things up.
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!
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.
