  • WONDERFUL POD, WONDERFULER FOLKS

    Updated 6/15/25:

    More Quiznos talk please, we also love these subs. Cause they are good.

    This podcast rules so hard. The show has evolved and flowed so well over my last few years enjoying it. Greg, Mike, Vargas, BK, & Kaitlyn all give unique perspectives into collecting and reading comics. They’re a group of folks who have and understanding but aren’t gatekeepers. They just share with pure joy. So welcoming, so fun, so stupid, the best.

  • Fun and Friendly

    My favourite weekly comics podcast. The guys are great fun to listen to and give excellent breakdowns of the week’s first issues. My only complaint is how much money I’ve spent on comics I wouldn’t have before listening to the show 😂. Keep up the good work guys!

    Mike, Vargas, and Greg make you feel like you are hanging out with your long-lost friends talking comics. I used to support them on Patreon, but money is tight as my wife finishes NP school. Just know all their content is Golden!
