Our story

In 2016, we started a comic book reading club, where we found that discussing the first issue of a new series helped fulfill a lot of what we were missing from the comic book experience — community & conversation. These books didn’t require an intimidating amount of background knowledge — Instead, they welcomed more new voices, perspectives, and ideas as our reading club grew.

For almost eight years now, we’ve pressed a record button before starting those weekly meet-ups, and whether you are new to comics, or a long-time fan, I hope you find that joining this reading club helps make your comic book experience feel a little more accessible and welcoming.

We are also always keen to hear from creators and publishers who are interested in being interviewed or having their work featured on our show.
