  • An explosion of comic-y goodness

    If I could put into words what a great bunch of people the ACP are, I would. But my knowledge of the English language simply isn’t vast enough to explain fully, of how wonderful this podcast is. Imagine seeing the 78 Superman movie, 89 Batman, & Avengers Assemble for the first time…it’s like that all in one huge high 5. If you’re not listening to this podcast & you love comics, then maybe it’s you thats the problem Mom!!! I’m a good boy!!! Sorry, where was I? Yeah, listen to this podcast
