  • So sad

    I’ve been listening to these guys for well over a decade. They definitely lean far left based on several of their comments over the years. I’ve always laughed it off but on the most recent episode, one them stated they would not be picking up Marvel’s 1776 because of the “current political situation “ and he wasn’t feeling very patriotic…maybe in 3 years…WOW! You sir have a severe case of TDS and I am done!! Enjoy the next 3 years…I know I will.

  • This podcast has become uncomfortably negative. Criticism is to be expected when discussing an art form, but the current dynamic sucks all joy out of being a comic reader. Very unfortunate.
