History of Comic Books Podcast

JT Wheatley

Rambling deep cuts into influential comics like Tom King's Supergirl.

Why we picked this

We picked History of Comic Books Podcast for its unvarnished, single-host enthusiasm. JT Wheatley talks about comics the way regulars at a shop talk—opinionated, digressive, and specific about panel layouts and creator track records. The show trades polished narration for a conversational ramble through new releases, older classics, and industry sales data. If you want a detached critical survey, look elsewhere. If you want a knowledgeable fan’s unfiltered read on what’s worth your shelf space this week, this feed delivers.

A rambling and too brief history podcast on the people, companies and events that make up the great comic book medium.
