First Issue Club Podcast

We're a weekly podcast that's dedicated to all things comic books. We fancy ourselves a reading club that's accessible to new and existing fans of the comic community.

Our Story:
In 2016, we started a comic book reading club, where we found that discussing the first issue of a new series helped fulfill a lot of what we were missing from the comic book experience — community & conversation. These books didn’t require an intimidating amount of background knowledge — Instead, they welcomed more new voices, perspectives, and ideas as our reading club grew.

For almost seven years now, we’ve pressed a record button before starting those weekly meet-ups, and whether you are new to comics, or a long-time fan, I hope you find that joining this reading club helps make your comic book experience feel a little more accessible and welcoming too.
