Comics Are My Happy Place

Written by: Colin Hoult
Listen for free

Square-jawed actor and comedian Colin Hoult and his trusty leotard-wearing sidekick Nick Kirk are here each week to talk you through all the wild and varied corners from the worlds of comic books, whether that is deep dives into the latest from DC and Marvel (and their cinematic offerings), overviews of creator-owned and indie titles or continuing their ongoing mission to study and rank all of the Marvel characters from Abomb to Zzzax (not forgetting big hitters like Spider-Man, Captain America and the X-Men, of course).


Comics Are My Happy Place is a comics comedy podcast exploring all things comics-related.

    Oct 1 2026

    Catastrophe! Due to technical failure, the planned episode with Colin and Nick talking about Bishop is unsalvageable. Never fear, however, for Colin has stepped into the breach to do a whistlestop one-man recreation of that very episode for your listening pleasure. So here is not-quite-but-almost the lost episode - enjoy!


    NOTE:- We'll be dropping down to a fortnightly schedule for the time being as life is very much interrupting the regular weekly schedule at the moment and we want to make sure you're still getting some comic-y goodness from us

    Is GODZILLA part of the Marvel universe?
    Sep 17 2026

    Catastrophe (and not just for the unsuspecting inhabitants of Tokyo)! Technical difficulties unfortunately stomped on this week's planned 90s X-Men themed episode so instead, we have an emergency broadcast in which our very own Nick Krik asks the question:- is Godzilla part of the Marvel universe? There's only one way to find out...
