Love this podcast! David interviews the best creators/voices in comics. He does so with really thoughtful questions and research. He creates a really comfortable space for guests to be open and vulnerable. I really look forward to each episode, every week.

A friend showed me the Key Collector app. I discovered the podcast through a plug from the app creator. Couldn’t believe the quality of this podcast across the board! I understand not everyone will love every guest, but this was very informative from two incredibly immersed comic personalities....Read full review »

David Harper manages to bring on some really great guests from a variety of places in the comics realm. It’s not just mainstream or just indie creators, and there is a nice mix of artists, writers, and all other jobs in comics, so it feels like Harper appreciates and values all of it. On top of...Read full review »

Show sounds fine and the host is well versed in comics. However his guests are terrible. Guests like John from Big Vang comics in Ireland (a loathsome individual that campaigns to censor comics because he disagrees politically with their creators). He also had the Key Collector app guy on. I...Read full review »

Love the talks with creators the most, as well as the talks with comic shop owners. That’s why I come here and there is a lot of that good stuff so thats why I stay and listen. So LISTEN and be enriched!
AudioConsumer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/11/21
I love this pod, in-depth comics journalism is so hard too find that when something like this exists its hard to not be impressed. If you have any interest in comics i highly recommend it. My only issue is the amount of times David says "its interesting'. Once you notice it you cant...Read full review »

David Harper hosts the best comic conversations on the Internet . A veritable comic salon looking at the creative and business side of comic industry. In both a casual but meaningful way. Not to be missed!!!
mt328101 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/25/20
Off Panel bills itself as a comics podcast, but it is much more than that. It's a love letter to the form, a deep-dive into the industry, a spotlight on underrepresented books, and a joyous celebrartion of all things comics. David excells at making guests feel comfortable, so after a few...Read full review »

David Harper is the most intelligent voices in comic book commentary. Always fascinating interviews.
Pat Brickson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/03/19
It got me into writing/illustrating my own comic so, hats off. Incredibly insightful interviews. Real insider stuff. Also, if y’all could get David Mazzucchelli, Jason Lutes, Elise Gravel, Seth, Adrian Tomine, Chester Brown or anyone really from D & Q I’d poop myself.

Off Panel is the top comics podcast. Not only do you get comprehensive and interesting interviews with creators, you also get fantastic episodes with retailers on the state of their business, and the occsaional fan recap of current and past books. All around fantastic and informative.
Phillip Sevy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/19/19
David is a fabulous interviewer and he has the connections to get great guest. Unique to him is the ability to pull in guests from the retail markets that can provide a well rounded view of what the health of the market actually is and challenges assumptions fans might have. A must listen!
Jávier Fíles via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/09/19
The fact that this podcast -- quite possibly the best comics podcast out there -- is David Harper's spare-time side hussle rather than his job never ceases to amaze me.

David Harper is the Zach Lowe of comics, and not just because he apes the weekly “10 things” article theme. David is a guy who seeks the “big picture” in the industry while still catching the little details that make comics great, and it all comes across in spades in his wonderful interviews with...Read full review »

GraysonVIII via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/14/18
The host is very particular to catering to one particular style of artists or art style. It has been some time since I have heard an interview with someone I was interested in. Not to say he’s a bad host or interviewer. I understand he’s catering to his interests and that’s cool. However I highly...Read full review »
