These episodes have made the more boring parts of my days go by a lot faster and I love both of your guys’ dynamic while you div... more

    They dive into the meanings behind the character, the origins, the artists & writers, the dates and the issues, and the hosts are just genuinely fun people to l... more

    I love this podcast. As a broke high schooler, I don’t have the money to buy my own comics and learn about these myself, I love this podcast and can’t wait for more! (Still waiting for a Wiccan episode)

Reed is not a bad man. He is not a bad husband... but it has become the most prevalent writing choice of the last 10 years simply because all you have to do is look at ultimate Reed Richards and the maker.
