  • This review has been somewhat overtaken by events! I've just listened to the podcast (full disclosure: I haven't read the comic), and was going to comment on how a big selling point of the podcast is Dash's voice, courtesy of Peter Zielinski, who manages to infuse the lead character with a winning combination of youthfulness, toughness, and vulnerability.

  • Need More!

    I binge listen to this all while at work! Man everything was so good. From the acting to the sound effects I was in deep. I was even getting frustrated cause I wanted to know more. I hope there is a season two and also I will be buying the book so I can see how close I was with imagining everything. Great work guys.

  • Yes please.

    I may be a tad biased. But hearing the podcast episodes… I’m as drawn into the story just as much as when I first read the books. That’s what good writing does… Makes you forget everything and live in that world. The sound design is exceptional.
