We couldn’t be happier that we chose to do an episode on this. What started as a simple curiosity turned into an exploration of one of the 
more underappreciated comic imprints ever and at the center of it, is Icon. This series is one part superhero comic, one part commentary and one part satire. On the surface it is easy to see how many people have dismissed this series as a relic of the nineties, with its polybag and its flashy art and design, but at its heart is a comic with a timeless message. We really hope if you’ve dismissed this series in the past or haven’t yet heard of it, that you will give us a listen.
