Hello, new followers!

We’re a podcast focused on weird/interesting comics and examining how they tied into pop culture/history.

We take a queer-friendly, feminist viewpoint, swear a lot, and also talk about dollar bin finds.

If that’s up your alley, check us out:

Finally, a comic that’s both protected AND certified. Safe collecting, everyone.

Greetings programs! We're downloading into The Grid and checking out Tron: Ghost in the Machine! A comic sequel to a video game that Disney would rather we forget. It tried to keep the Grid alive before the next reboot came along and derezzed it from canon.

Why is Bats, Cats & Cadillacs one of my favorite comics? Allow me to explain

The pumpkin spice latte of comics. Cozy supernatural comfort with fangs, fins, and kick-ass covers.

No clue what’s inside this comic, but it’s from the same publisher that gave us Debbie Does Dallas. What could possibly go wrong?

New episode! Today, we’re turning down the lights for some "Horrotica" comics. Jessika dives into Chains of Chaos #1 from Harris Comics, while Mike explores Jenna Jameson’s Shadow Hunter #0. It’s monsters, mayhem, and just a little bit of questionable seduction.

New episode!
This week, we’re diving into one of DC’s most chaotic crossovers: Eclipso: The Darkness Within. It’s a 90s comic event where black diamonds turned heroes into villains, friends into enemies, and comic covers into storage hazards.

New episode! We’re getting spooky with our Indy Horror theme! Mike braves the carnage of Scotch McTiernan’s Halloween Party, while Jessika dives into Spend the Night #1, a slasher pastiche with scream-queen energy.
