Awesome Comics Podcast Episode 39: Ask The Awesome Comics Podcast!

By John Freeman on March 31, 2016

With lots of comic news, movies and general debate happening recently this week Vince Hunt, Dan Butcher and Tony Esmond decided to take time to answer some listener questions and spend some quality time together alone on the Awesome Comics Podcast. This leads to talk about comic movies and tv shows (no spoilers), the origin story of the awesome comics podcast and Superted vs Bananaman!

There’s also some great small press comics you need to check out and as an added extra, the trio decided to pick out a personal fave from the world of mainstream comics too.

It’s a show packed full of comic talk with a dose of ridiculous (and occasionally rude) humour, so check it out!

Mentioned in this episode are: Dirty Rotten Comics, XCT – Xtreme Champion Tournament, Bob Fingerman, Bronx Heroes, First Comics, Badger, All Star Superman, Avengers Arena, Avengers Undercover, Pipedream Comics, A Place to Hang Your Cape and Down the Tubes
