  • Excellent comics talk

    Great premise, great show! The two people talking format works really well, as the host offers some consistency and the guest some variety. Also, there’s a nice balance of enthusiasm to realism about the comics discussed, which is refreshing.

  • Love the show!

    If you’re a comic book fan in search of a podcast that will offer you something new on the topic, The Runs is the show for you. Ryan Alexander-Tanner is a working cartoonist and educator who brings a practical perspective to discussions of highly regarded, as well as often overlooked, runs of comic books by a wide variety of creators. The guests pick the run – Byrne’s FF, Kirby’s 4th World, Hama & Wagner’s Nth Man – and, as often as not, find they are introducing the series to Alexander-Tanner. ... more

  • I want to like this

    A good concept with interesting guests, tarnished by the host. It would be one thing if the host was deeply knowledgeable about the topic being discussed and then chose to dump all over it. Instead, he gleefully claims ignorance to the topic while stating a typically negative opinion based on something he thought he recalled from years ago. Why start a comic book podcast featuring guests who are interested in comic books if you don’t appear interested in them?

  • Great podcast, horrible title.

    I came across this podcast by chance. I'm a huge fan of comic book history, so this show really scratches that itch. Great podcast, but you couldn't have picked a worse title.
