About this listen

Welcome to a sort of book club but for comics podcast from your hosts Sleeves (AKA Orion Ghia) and Galactosh. Join these two middle-aged men as they traverse comic book history, witnessing tales of daring do, fantastic voyages and tantalising adventure as they revisit the good, the bad and the outright ugly of four colour comics! Each episode will be a different story, arc or even a run of comics in a book club or rather... a comic book club format, to which you are cordially invited!

    Dec 22 2025

    Ho ho ho boys and girls. One again Santa has had a rummage through his sack and found a lovely gift for you all whether you've been naughty or nice.


    This festive period, join Sleeves, Galactosh and Santa as they delve into another festive package of holiday comics.

    Join your heroes as they discuss wintery ponderings such as; when is a homage not an homage? Why are there penguins at the north pole? And what is grooming?

    Come with us as the boys discuss uncanny xmen 143 and Lobo paramilitary Christmas special alongside jokes from your favourite ruddy faced benefactor, Santa himself.


    Ho ho ho.

  • The Transformers #7-8 (Part 2 of 2)
    Nov 23 2025

    Transformers... THE Transformers the original Marvel run that started it all (sure there was a cartoon too but that was rubbish... kids stuff) is a bit of an obsession for Sleeves. He's collected all the Marvel UK comics, he's started a substack on the subject. So we thought we'd ingluge the little scamp and discuss a few issues of the comic, just a small number... four... keep it light. What followed was over 3 hours of robot related rambling too long to be contained in just one episode. So we split it in two... and this is the second part.


    Reforming the same band of contributors that brought you an overstuffed look at Skybound's Transformers relaunch last year, Sleeves, Galactosh and special guests Virtual Dave and Michael Quintesson pore over the pages of The Transformers issues 5 to 8 reprinted in issues 22 to 28 of Marvel UK's fortnightly larger format comic. We join the story as Shockwave takes command of the Decepticons and begins his plans to conquer the earth one Blackrock facility at a time, learn why Optimus Prime's head is no longer on his body, why Buster Witwicky is having a lot of headaches, how the Dinobot came to be on earth, what the rite of oneness is and why Ratchet must learn to become a warrior!
