A shiny, happy and mostly new podcast will be launched on podomatic every week. In it two blokes of different ages will be looking at comics old & new as well as comic realated media, (games, TV, movies etc.) and any other comic related goodness that thay can think of. After an extra long pilot episode your hosts (more on at the bottom of the page) will pick one issue each to talk about and dissect. It can be old or new, a major publisher or an indie, Superhero or Vertigo, a Tv show or novel - the sky's the limit as long as the Father & Son duo can find something to argure about. What makes us different from all the other comics podcasts? Glad you asked. We are 2 British people looking at an almost exclusively America art form with love, affection and with just a dollop of irreverance.The show can be e-mailed by clicking Here

Your Hosts: Andrew P Leyland has been reading comics since before he could actually read and thinks writing for the trade is the work of the Devil and that they are comics, not graphic novels. Micheal P Leyland is Andrew's spawn, 23 years his Jnr, and thinks that Geoff Johns is the best writer ever! Needless to say they don't always see I 2 I on what makes fun comics. Fun will be had by all.
