About This Podcast

🎙️ The Comic Book Block Podcast Where every take is hot, every hero’s got issues, and every indie comic ends with “to be continued… maybe.” 🦹‍♂️ We cover heroes, anti-heroes, and those indie villains who monologue like they get paid by the word. 📚 It's deep dives, dumb takes, and debates that’ll ruin friendships faster than ranking Robins. 💥 We love comics… even when they break our hearts, our budgets, and the laws of physics. 🎧 New episodes every Wednesday IG: @thecomicbookblock
