  • Great Comic Breakdowns

    Listened to a few episodes now and have had a blast learning more about certain comic runs and characters. Just finished the Ben Reilly episode which was unbelievably well done. As a big fan of Ben myself, this episode was perfectly executed. Check this geeky pod out!
