“I love the bits and the tangents. I love this podcast. Pro-tip: listen at .75x speed and they sound drunk and its even funnier.”

“Was looking for an X-men podcast and found these incredible two guys who are undertaking the daunting task of ranking all of the X-men stories!! I’m joining the fun way late but have started from the beginning to see where all of the stories end up and have found myself making a list of my own of...”Read full review »

“Sadly, this podcast feels like it has gone downhill fast. They barely actually talk about the actual comics anymore, they are too busy trying to force bits”

“Excellent podcast in which two hosts (Zack and Adam) read and rate three X-Men stories each week. The hosts have a great dynamic with each other, having an entertaining approach. I’ve been a longtime X-Men fan but this has opened up many new stories to explore. Highly recommend.”

“This pod used to be so good and I've listened since the beginning, but my goodness does it feel like it’s a chore for one half of the hosting team these days. Whether is half thought out “bits” (your bits are NEVER funny by the way) that drag on way too long - seriously, please don’t use...”Read full review »

“As of mid-2021, there are at least twenty different X-Men podcasts. Nearly all are reviews of the animated series (and mostly not good) so to find a comic-focused X cast was a bit tough. Happily and luckily for me, the Battle Boys exist. This show kind of bops around at random, but honestly...”Read full review »

“The unbridled cheerfulness and positively of this podcast is just what I need to manage my mental illness. From Adam’s soothing voice to Zack’s endless supply of “yes and”, I find it hard to turn this off.”

If you like X-Men, definitely...”Read full review »

They also do a lot of work in...”Read full review »

“A really enjoyable show that gets the most out of its format. Each episode features three comics reviewed and ranked, and benefits from jumping around the now 50+ years of x-continuity (rather than progressing chronologically as arguably the best X-podcast does). The relationship between the...”Read full review »

“I love War Rocket Ajax. Particularly the Every Story Ever portion of their podcast. However, I don't care about DC comics, so half the time I'm tuning out or skipping forward thru certain portions of the program. I was quite happy when discovering Battle of the Atom, because it takes my...”Read full review »

“I’ve been reading the X-books since 1990 so I already have plenty of X-Men opinions of my own, and they don’t always line up with Adam & Zack’s takes, but whether they are going on about how much they enjoyed a particular story or complaining about how horrible another is, it is always a good...”Read full review »

I was a childhood X-men fan and wanted to get back into the lore about a year ago. I tried to plug into the current issues and follow some of X-men Twitter, but it was this podcast that made me feel like I was truly back in the fandom.
The depth of knowledge...”Read full review »

“There are a number of X-Men podcasts, and even more Marvel comics podcasts in general. But what separates Battle of the Atom is the unrepentant joy it brings to each and every week. Zach and Adam have excellent chemistry, having come to the X-Men at different times and with different tastes;...”Read full review »

“A comics podcast that strikes that fine balance between fun and informative, focused yet funny. The rankings, while handled seriously, are more-or-less a pretext for diving into the deep dark corners of the x-men comics catalog ... and showcasing the love these two have for the characters.

It's a pleasure to hear them...”Read full review »
