Chris and Andy are an amazing 1, 2 combo and this is THE podcast for the serious or not so serious collected editions collector! My favorite comic related podcast. Love the variety of shows. Creator spotlight, Solicitation, collected edition review and more.

Every week or so Chris and Andy get together to discuss the world of comics, with a focus on collected editions. They manage to combine being knowledgeable and insightful, with a banter that is funny and respectful, but importantly they pull no punches and call it as it is. I have been...Read full review »

I have been listening to Chris for a number of years. Love hearing his and Andy’s reviews of comics on being released. Love it when they take punisher’s graphic novels and tell the story and then give their reviews on that book. Keep up the good work.

I’m slowly working my way back into comics after I was burned with CrossGen. Man what a bummer that was. Great stories and art.... oh well. Keep the podcast rolling.

I look forward to seeing this podcast in my feed. It is an enjoyable and interesting discussion of comics. As I move more toward collected editions, this has helped me think of what stories I want to read and find new ones that I wouldn’t have read.

Chris and Andy provide a consistently entertaining and informative podcast focused on the collected editions of golden, silver, bronze age, along with modern-day comics. Both are well versed in the history of comics and past legendary creators (Kirby, Eisner, Ditko) to current day comics,...Read full review »

I have been listening to Chris on the CCL podcast for a year or two now and I enjoy his summaries of what is going on in the world of collected editions. Check it out!
PaulK3 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/25/18
Chris’s show is the best put there when it comes to collected editions. Hands down one of my favorite podcasts out of the long list of podcasts I subscribe to!
DDNL14 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/24/18
This podcast streamlines all the comic book-related information in magazines, preview catalogs, and/or websites that I simply don't have time to go through. I enjoy that it covers a healthy bit of indie and lesser-known comic book series as well as the staples that DC and Marvel have to...Read full review »

CCL
This podcast is my #1 source for comic book collected editions. I have been listening since 2010 and have yet to listen to any other podcast that is as entertaining or informative. Chris has a great broadcasting voice and covers great topics and news relating to new and older releases alike.

CCL is an indispensible guide to the world of graphic novels and collected editions. Highly recommended.
dragonsleeve via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/09/14
I have always been a single issue collector but this podcast has helped me grow into starting a collection of trades and hardcovers. I've gotten a few recommended on the podcast and have loved them. This podcast is as helpful as it is enjoyable, Chris really knows his stuff. You won't...Read full review »
PunisherChad via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/07/14
Comics-related podcasts are a dime a dozen. Most times it’s fans fawning and/or just a concentration on the Big Two. But Chris Marshall is more democratic in his coverage. Plus, his podcast is unique in that he focuses only on collected editions (trades, archives graphic novels, etc). It’s one of...Read full review »
FunniesMan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/26/14
Chris gives a comprehensive overview of all things related to collected graphic novels. The best part is when he gives his opinions, which can be really honest and down to earth. There are so many comic book podcast out there, this gives a unique spin and definately not your average comic book...Read full review »

I've listened to many comic based podcasts over the years and CCL has always been in the top 5. After several years and several different shows, one of the only constants is Chris Marshall & the CCL. Chris keeps it concise, doesn't talk act like a jerk, is appropriate to listen...Read full review »

It's like a podcast by Ben Stein... very informative, very knowledgeable, very boring... Listened to multiple episodes could not finish any and could not retain anything listened to. Way to dry and unengaging.Read full review »

Several things make this the best comics podcast out there: 1. Chris discusses both current and classic collected editions. 2. The interviews are informative and top-notch. 3. No one else does as much research with regard to what's coming out in collected editions, news, announcements, etc....Read full review »

A very informative show on the latest comic and graphic novel trade releases. A must for any comics and graphic novels fan
Sidach01 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/10/13
I collected comics as a kid but stopped when I went to college back in 1999. With the new 52 reboot I decided to jump back in and see if the books being put out were as good as I remember when I was way into them as a teen. I soon realized that the single issue format did not work for me anymore,...Read full review »
Thaddeus602 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/10/13
Chris you have one of the best, informative podcast for fans of collected comics. You also give a quick on point review of Dark Knight Rises. I also went back to look at Batman Begins and will watch all three once the Blu Ray arrives.
HipHopHead 78 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/13/12
I like that this focuses on collected editions, as that is the true interest in the comics industry today: floppies are meant to be collected and on a shelf, not in a box. Interesting podcast and not overlong like many others. Hope it gets back onto a regular schedule soon!
TheDoh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/12/12
Always eager to recommend another Michigander's(or is it Michiganian's?)work!Chris does a fantastic job of letting the listener know all about what is available out there in terms of collected comic editions and gives great recommendations and reviews on all kinds of stuff!I'm glad I...Read full review »

This is a great podcast for learning about the upcoming collected releases. I enjoy when Chris gives reasoned opinions about the work based on the merit of the way it's arranged and assembled and not based on the content. Interviews with creaters associated with the material is also great...Read full review »

Mitchell Frizzell via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/18/10
I do not give many reviews and tend to be critical of the way a podcast flows. Chris is a professional, he follows an agenda, and clearly conveys to the audience his opinion of the books he is reviewing. He has had some great guests on and informative interviews. This cast has inspired me to...Read full review »

Asuka002 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/30/10
I like the way Marshall has a very regimented format to this podcast. He runs through the new and upcoming releases each week, and then focuses in on one particular trade and talks about it in detail. A well-constructed part of my weekly listening line-up.
Sensei Carter via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/11/10
The CCL podcast does a great job of finding all the release details and relevant info regarding the latest comic trades, hardcovers and collections from the various publishers.
