  • Just Greatness!

    At the Ripe old age of 52 I have become a fan of comics again. The interviews I have heard on this podcast have taken me back to my early years. I feel like I am getting to appreciate the people behind the scenes that I didn’t even know we’re creating my childhood memories. Thank you does not seem adequate, but it will have to do for now. Thank You!!!

  • Something for Everybody

    Comic Book Central is a very well produced show that impresses with a knowledgable host, a broad variety of genre properties covered, and most importantly, interesting interviews with performers and creators who you'd sometimes be hard pressed to find elsewhere. Quality work and worth your time.

    20 mins in to an episode and all there has been is TV show clips, commercials, and tons of internet links. In a 60 min episode there is hardly room for content.
