Arc Reactions Podcast
Dylan and John review and react to comic book story arcs on a monthly basis. We review a mix of classic and modern story lines with insightful commentary and a bit of fun research thrown in. Come join us on our personal journey through some of the best and worst stories in comics.
Dylan and I have made the tough decision to put the podcast on a temporary hiatus until we both are at a position in our lives where we can dedicate the time and effort needed to create a show at the caliber we want to deliver.
We want to thank Larissa for stepping in during the pandemic and co-hosting with John. She did a great job and we welcome her to return anytime she wants to.
We do not have a time frame for when the show will return, but we do intend to resume making episodes when we are able to.
Thank you for all your support over the last 8 1/2 years. We love making the podcast and we will return.
Spider-Man: No Way Home coverage delayed due to Covid. We will cover this movie when it releases on Disney+.
Sorry for the delay, but please join us soon (early February) for our coverage of the Hawkeye series on Disney+.
