  • Great content and fun!

    Started listening 3 years ago just before the fun ride that was/is the pandemic. Every week I really looked forward to listening to everyone’s reviews, bits, and banter on comics and comics-related news. The hosts (Sean, Tyler Cale, and Marco) are all great and their interactions are often entertaining. The show/podcast is polished but also feels like you’re hanging out with friends. Keep up the good work/content!

  • Fun, friendly, and interesting

    Comics isn't the biggest industry and the communities can still be very gatekeepy. The Pals are NOT those guys.

    Highly inclusive, very friendly, very well versed in the industry and characters of comics, they make an enjoyable weekly podcast that is fun and enthusiastic of comics while also not afraid of being critical or having a variety of opinions.

    If you love comics, listen to the Pals. If you're interested in comics, listen to the Pals. They're great.
