  • introvertedart
    A must listen for comic fans
    If you are a comic book fan with a sense of humor you need to listen to Mike and Tommy talk about Jack The King Kirby. They alway have interesting guests who share their own insights on the Kings work. Informative and funny…what’s not to like ?
  • Boomtown Reviewer
    Jacked Review!
    This podcast has it all! Humor. Passion. All that stuff. The hosts are great and the guests are even better (when they have them). Always learning something. A week doesn’t go by that I’m not excited to here these guys wax Kirby. If you love Jack Kirby- check it out. If you hate Jack Kirby- check it out. If you’re thinking, “Who’s Jack Kirby?” You’re living under a rock and you need to- check it out.
  • Taoist Chainsaw
    Often the best parts of my day
    Listening to these two lovable jagoffs talk Jack Kirby is often the highlight of my day. If you love Jack Kirby and childish obscenity this is the podcast for you.

    I don’t care what the wife says, if we’re on the east coast we’re going to Wo Hop! Jacked Kirby is one of the best Podcasts out there!! Super informative yet very personal. A couple of hilarious East coast guys with a deep friendship host the show with the occasional appearance by one of their friends or a special, industry guest. The list of luminaries in their catalog is astounding but no matter what the episode is about or who’s there they’re always keep me laughing. And on top of all that, I’ve learned a lot about the comic industry, NYC history, hip-hop, Wo Hop and of course Jack Kirby the King of Comics,
  • Sicaboner
    Great Show to Geek out!
    Long time listener and first time reviewer. Great show. Bring back Joe Esq!
  • CometDwN_ramhAm_mew
    What are you waiting for???
    If you like hilarity along with all things bagged and boarded with white glove obsession or are content with thumbing through a book while eating pizza half choking from these comedic geniuses and then throwing it on the pile of junk mail after….no matter what kinda madness you have, you’ll be happy you found these guys and listened to Jacked Kirby. Eggsellsheezore!
  • I'm J's
    It makes my husband happy
    So, thanks guys. I don’t listen but my husband does and now he started buying old comics and won’t shut up about some place called Wo Hop. 🤷‍♀️ I’m glad he’s happy and thank you for bringing joy to his life but why does he learn things about 90s east coast hip hop on a podcast about a comic book artist? 😉
  • A-kid-eric
    The best Jack Kirby podcast by some guys from NY.
    I’ve been listening to the show for years. I used to live on the East Coast and now I’m on the West Coast and I miss that vibe real bad. Listening to these guys helps me out a lot! Peace!
  • Agatha's Brooch
    Comics and beyond
    Such a great cast for comics, movies, art, and just well-rounded discussion! Mike and Tommy know their stuff and it shows. Awesome cast.
  • Ekoe
    A great podcast
    This podcast is really worth keeping in your feed if you have any joy for comics. It isn’t always just about Jack, most of the time Jack is a starting off point in the interviews and where that takes some people can be fun. Mike and Tommy are simply fantastic with their guests and are so much fun to listen to. These guys seem to really connect with their guests in such a wonderful way. Everything from contemporary excitement to nostalgic storytelling and the occasional history lesson in between, Mike and Tommy are always worth listening to.
  • sullywo
    I’d give it 6 stars if I could
    Can’t say enough good things about this podcast! Tommy and Mike are hilarious, and the chemistry these two best friends have is obvious and infectious. The conversational tone, as opposed to typical “interview” tones, really allows the guests to open up, and makes you feel like you’re hanging out with old friends shooting the breeze. Great topics and killer guests especially over the last year or two. Look forward to each new show!!

    The Best King Kirby Podcast
    Mike and Tommy are the most entertaining and informative podcast on Jack Kirby. I’ve been reading since 1978 and I learn something new every episode! The guests are amazing but I enjoy just listening to their memories of reading Kirby Comics! My highest recommendations for any comic fan!
  • Cornbluth
    Jacked Kirby holds it down for The King!
    Tommy and Mike are the truest of true scholars when it comes to comics and it shines in every episode. Their love and loyalty to Jack Kirby is the heart of the show while banter and wit serve as the brains. Not only do Tommy and Mike have a profound respect and knowledge of comic book history, but they work as a wonderful on-air duo.
  • Darth Corgi
    Long live the King!
    The best podcast out there on Jack Kirby and all the roads that lead back to him told through interviews with fans and industry professionals. Thanks for the great show guys!
  • jim hilford
    Ayeee
    Tommy a great host
  • Warguyflims
    Great love letter to the King himself!
    Great podcast keep up the good work!

    The Court Of King Kirby
    No one honors the great Jack Kirby like these guys. The show is full of love, compassion, information and REAL talk. Grade A stuff every episode. -Brandon B. Host of Apollo City Comics Podcast
  • rexrexrex
    Mixed bag
    Pros: the hosts really love Jack Kirby and share a wealth of information each episode. Their enthusiasm for Kirby is genuine and refreshing. Guest interviews add some periodic variation to the mix. Kirby produced enough material over his life that the podcast is able to focus on different topics each week rather than constantly retreading old conversations. Cons: the hosts regularly and gleefully veer into crude 6th grade boy humor. Additionally, I feel bad for some guests as they end up being silent for long stretches as a host monologues, or worse, they talk over the guest and whatever the guest was saying were is drowned out. Pitfalls associated with conducting remote interviews can reasonably explain some of these things. Overall, I find the hosts to be off-putting whenever they aren't talking about Kirby or comics.
  • Fcfegybdd
    Super knowledgeable on comics
    I listened to this show from tesd they talked to Walt and mike zapzic and about 2 months later I listened to all 63 episodes! Super funny guys too the “touch” Gary the mole man Esposito. I cry laughing at times. Listened to these guys great entertaining show. Made me start drawing again.
  • Lockheed Lee
    Comic history and laughs
    Every comic book fan should be listening to this podcast. Mike, Tommy and friends share with us comic book history and a bunch of laughs. Keep up the great work guys.
  • JR_ G
    Jacked
    This is my favorite comic book-related podcast. Both hosts are entertaining as heck, and I’ve learned a few things from them (and I’m someone who thinks he knows it all already).
  • marino319
    Two Everyman take on the King!
    Amazing podcast, hilarious hosts - goofing around and education us all on the man himself- Kirby! Always love this show, and the guests are top notch!
  • birdGodZ
    Jack is King
    The Kirby love is REAL 👊🏻
  • justinprime
    So Good on So Many Levels
    I love this show. I'm only a few episodes in and am already hooked on this like no other podcast. The hosts are just dudes doing a podcast, albeit ones that are obviously obsessed with Jack Kirby and everything connected to the man. I'm learning a lot, I'm laughing and I'm inspired to read some Kirby books! Must listen, perfect for while you're drawing comics. :)
  • Gdespo00
    Fun Podcast
    You can tell that the Jacked Kirby Crew are all friends and love to hang out and B.S. and have a good time talking pop-culture. The Podcast is full of passion, critiques and new information about The King. It's a Wednesday metope at your local comic store and everyone's celebrating The King. Give it a listen.
  • Buried Alien
    Everything I Wanted a Kirby-cast To Be
    LOVED the first three episodes of this show. I cannot wait to hear these guys crank out some more. They also mentioned some Kirby stuff I've never heard of, and I grew up in a comic shop! Can't recommend this podcast enough.
  • Ray from Miami
    Excellent Podcast for Kirby Fans
    This is a great new podcast about Kirby. I would describe it as hanging out in NYC with a few cool, funny guys that know an amazing amount about Jack Kirby's work and career and about comics in general." Most comics podcasts aren't good (bad sound quality, hosts that really don't know that much, hosts trying to be comedians, etc.). This one is an exception. I highly recommend it to any Kirby or comics fans. You'll learn a lot.
  • Animating Podcasts
    Loved the first 3!
    Can't wait for the next one!!!
  • The Jerry Farley
    Great angle to acknowledge greatness
    Great idea & angle for a podcast, to go further than "fandom" by inviting guests to share history & hard to find facts on Jack Kirby
  • JR-BK
    Mr.
    Informative and entertaining podcast about probably the most influential comic book artist ever. A lot of great information that even super nerds might now know and the VERY colorful characters on the show keep things pretty fun. Very unique and a must for comic fans.
  • XxXtotheTee
    A must for Kirby and Comic fans
    Not only do you learn a lot about Kirby and his art....Mike and Tom ARE EFFIN HYSTERICAL!!!! a great listen for sure!
  • MC Hogan
    Great find -- informative & humorous
    I stumbled on the Jacked Kirby podcast and it's great -- just like another reviewer said, it's like walking into a comic book shop and overhearing a conversation between true fans and shop owners gushing about their shared interest, Jack 'King' Kirby. SO many small facts, discoveries, random asides, and genuine ball breaking amongst these friends and contributors! I look forward to each weekly podcast release.
  • Mike CCD
    This is the podcast for you True Believers!
    The guys sure do love Jack Kirby and that shines through in each conversation they have... this pod is a history lesson/love letter to the foregone era of comics that are influencing the movies and pop culture of today!
  • Sjamesjr
    A podcast for fans by fans!
    Listening to these guys reminds me of conversations I had with friends before being a comic book geek was fashionable. Non of that fanboy nonsense from guys who think they're experts just cuz they've seen the Avengers 100 times. These guys know their stuff! Definitely worth a listen!
  • Sebastian is my real name
    ...
    This podcast is like spending an afternoon in your favorite comic shop while all types come to add to the very animated conversation - They're always insightful and sometimes colorful - What's better than talking Jack?
  • Alboulder
    Meet Jack
    Mike D & Tommy do a great job of hosting this informative podcast about the king, Jack Kirby. Their insights as well as those of their guests is a great way to introduce new and young fans to the world of Kirby. I look forward to hearing more of these smart, funny and enlightening podcasts.
  • Joey From Howard Beach
    A Podcast Fit For The King...
    A really fun and entertaining listen. A bunch of guys getting together and gushing about the best to ever do it, Jack "King" Kirby. The fandom is obvious and endearing, as each of these fellas talk about they're first experience with Kirby's work, and when it was that they finally "got it". Great stuff!
