Comicsplaining
123 episodes - English - Latest episode: 12 months ago - ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsCandace and Ripley are best friends, roommates, and comic book nerds. We've been reading Marvel comics for years, and have even read the complete order for our favorite characters. Unfortunately, we struggle to share our wealth of knowledge with each other, because despite being in the same universe these comics are not similar at all. Thus did we decide to explain our faves to each other, starting from the beginning. Whatever your level of interest in comics is (or isn't), tune in for the info, the goofs, or just to hear hot takes from two queer women. Join us every Wednesday as we talk about either X-Men or Thor in alternating order.
