I Read Comic Books

A podcast for regular comic book fans.

IRCB was started way back in 2015 by Mike Rapin with Zander Riggs, Paul Jaissle, and Nick White as regulars on the show. Over time, the show’s rotating roster of regular guests grew as Mike added different voices and perspectives to this weekly comic book conversation.

Today’s lineup includes Nick White, Paul Jaissle, Brian Murray, Kait Lamphere, René Rodriguez, Kara Szamborski, Tia Vasiliou, Kate Skocelas, Danny Martinez, Paloma Deerfield, and Zach McCrary. Zander Riggs has edited almost every episode of the show.

I Read Comic Books endeavors to share the joy of reading comics with a wide adult audience. The show covers a range of comic book topics, and each regular episode covers what the show panelists are reading that week and what they're excited to read next. Minisodes, special mini-series, and other bonus content are available on Patreon.

Join us for our ongoing chats and weekly recording live on Discord! You can also listen to the show on your favorite podcast platform and access exclusive subscriber-only content on our Patreon.

And as we say on the show every week: comics are good, and so are you.

The IRCB Discord is your local online comics community. Can't make it to a local comic shop but love talking about the books you love with the regulars?

Join us and our fans to talk about comics, life, the universe, and whatever is happening in F1 racing these days—we don't know what Nick did when we gave him admin powers that one time. Featuring monthly live audio hangouts, weekly live show recordings where you can interact with us, and even the occasional movie night!
