    Great resource
    A great resource for the comic storylines of my favorite characters!
  • SeanJawn
    Readers Assemble!
    Their discussions make me want to read / reread more comics and graphic novels!
  • Wally V.
    One of the best podcasts
    This is one of the best podcast. Grizzy more insight onto the films you watch or you’re about to see. I’m loving the coverage of secret wars right now and I can’t wait for the movie because I’ll feel better prepared with this background knowledge.
  • SeanHolt
    Dive deep
    Dive deep into the stories that are adapted for the big screen. It’s fun to hear the discussion, even if I haven’t read the comic or story they are talking about. Give it a listen!
  • BKeff
    Their primers are the best way to prepare for future releases!
    As a huge Star Wars and Marvel fan, I would love to read all of the comic runs but I just don’t have the time. Source Pages dives deep into the comics to inform and prepare you for future show/movie releases. Brian and Hayley never disappoint and I look forward to listening to their coverage weekly!
  • Rgeezy9
    My only source to the deep world of comics!
    I love all things comics but don’t always have the chance to dive deep as I would like. I love that this podcast because it does the heavey reading for me!
  • TJD9582
    Great Pod!
    Great for MCU fans like me who didn’t grow up reading comic books!
  • Indianatapir
    Great discussions on comic sources
    I started listening to the episodes to get ready for daredevil born again and loved the listen. But now obviously I have to read the comics they talked about. Loved the in depth discussion!
  • Jambi_Knight
    Great show
    Love to listen while walking
  • HWGamer
    A fantastic resource!
    What a great podcast that does the work on breaking down the written source material for movies and shows and allows you to read along or just listen. Love this podcast!
  • RyanPDX74
    Do the reading for me!
    It helps me learn more of the backstory of all the shows I like!
  • 0mni-Man-beatsAvengers
    Wadda showwwww
    I love learning about all these nifty comics yo! You guys have such a great dynamic I love learning about these things🙂
  • MitchellWM!
    Source Pages
    This podcast never disappoints. Every episode dives deep into fascinating topics with just the right mix of insight and entertainment. The hosts have great chemistry, and the discussions are always engaging. It's the kind of show that makes you excited when a new episode drops-you know you're in for something interesting. Highly recommend!
  • TJ Stafford
    Something for everyone
    Very diverse cast with a lot of great content. They dive into DC, Marvel, Star Wars, Doctor Who, and many other topics. Recommend for any fans of geeky content!
  • CirUmeUela
    Perfect for a non-comic reader
    Love their breakdown of comic stories that are related to movie adaptations because I don’t have the time to read all these comics
  • DaniWolfe
    Everyone needs to listen to this!
    As someone who has never read comics, this is a necessity to stay involved and excited about the future of the MCU and everything surrounding it. I’ve also found some content I really enjoy that I wouldn’t otherwise have watched if Source Pages wasn’t covering it. Love the hosts! #WhatIfWanda
  • David Breuer
    The definitive Podcast for getting the story behind your favorite Movies or TV Shows!
    #WhatIfWanda The Source Pages is the place to find out about the inspiration behind the Movie or the Television Seres based on the actual novels or comic books that they were based on. Hayley Hobbs & Brian V. Klein take the time to read and break down the novel or comic book series, so you don’t have to read them yourself, in order to provide the inspiration for a movie or television series. They both provide the equivalent of the “Cliff Notes” for the stories so you wouldn’t have to read them, or to get you interested in reading them. I personally have sought out those novels or comic books, in order to read them for myself, after listening to that weeks podcast. Both Hayley and Brian are quite knowledgable when it comes to these stories and they provide their own perspectives about them. They even started a Source Pages spinoff for Doctor Who called Timey Wimey Talk which broke down each episode of the most recent season of Doctor Who which I really enjoyed listening to. I would wholeheartedly recommend listening to The Source Pages podcast (and have done so to my friends, family, and on Social Media) as you will be fully entertained by them.
  • Mmrresh153
    Love this show, #WhatIfWanda
    Expect comic deep dives, but at heart this podcast thrives as two very charismatic people tell all kinds of stories. Even if I'm not deep into a universe they're talking about, listening is still refreshing and fun. They dk a good job of inviting people into their worlds rather than other shows that can isolate the listener if they don't have preexisting context and knowledge.
  • SuperflyMaxPower
    Great Source Material
    #WhatIfWanda I’m so grateful for Hayley and BVK for doing the research and sharing the background of all these stories and characters. When I was young, I loved comics (and Star Wars), but so much has happened in the the decades since then. It’s wonderful to have this resource to help me catch up. And, Hayley and BVK are a delight to listen to. Keep up the great work!
  • Jb.216
    Great Show
    #WhatIfWanda This podcast is great, especially if like me, you don’t keep up with all the comics. It’s helpful to know some background before diving into my favorite tv and movies. Sometimes I even go back and read some of the issues they talk about. It’s been great discovering new nerdy content! Also love the hosts! They have great conversations and keep me engaged! Thanks Hayley and Brian!
  • its.Jess.K
    Perfect 😍
    I love this podcast when prepping for upcoming media! Whether you have never read the comics and looking for some background on the characters or if you’ve read them in the past and need a refresher this podcast will be perfect for you. Hayley and BVK are fun to listen to and have a great banter and conversation. Love ya 300 #WhatIfWanda
  • phetes15
    #whatifwanda
    I really enjoy the hosts and is a good way to get an overview before you go see a new marvel movie or watch a new series.
  • Agatha's Brooch
    Great dives into comics
    Love learning the behind-the-scenes and origins on characters from fave franchises. Endless reference material and things to add to the reading list!
  • ActualFan66
    Good show but
    I enjoy the show but your facts are very very wrong. especially with the xmen stuff.
  • Himotheyjr
    SECRET WARS
    I really like the secret wars episodes I hope you do some more soon
  • Nate Rooted
    How Else Could You Keep Up?
    Hayley and Brian “Sparc” the light for countless nerd properties! Break it down and prep up for whatever’s next for any fandom with this dynamic duo. **Whoop**
  • JjBiggyBags
    Great pod for everyone
    I never have read any comics of any kind (other than Calvin and Hobbes) and this podcast is perfect for me! I love the way that it is a perfect middle ground for everyone! Thank you guys for the awesome podcast! Keep doin what you’re doin!
  • PeepeeBoy1
    A Fun Journey!
    It’s an enjoyable listen, getting to hear Hayley and Kevin track their latest pop-culture interest back to the pages that birthed them. They’re like archeologists for nerds!(Or whatever the library equivalent of an archeologist is.) Give it a listen! -Tommy from Jacked Kirby
  • corgicmh
    Amazing!
    This podcast is French Kiss! I enjoy the primers y’all do, and look forward to seeing what’s next. One of my top three stranded panda network shows.
  • cordero413
    The podcast I’ve been looking for
    I’ve been following this podcast since it’s inception and I haven’t looked back. It is perfect for those who want an in-depth discussion into the stories that inspire the movies and shows we love. Though Brian and Hayley mostly cover Marvel Comics, they don’t just stop there; they’ve done plenty from DC to Dune to Lord of the Rings, etc. The two hosts always keep an engaging conversation whether it be on the book they’re covering, a dip into their lives, anecdotes, sports and the like to make the listener feel like they know them on a personal level. Listeners can read along with them as they always post their reading list on their social media pages including the Stranded Panda group on FB where they (and their colleagues) seem to really love connecting with their audience. You don’t just get good content out of following this podcast; you become part of an online community with a lot of great active members. Thank you two and all of Stranded Panda for giving the nerds another platform.
  • Jon Zxcbn
    Love it
    I love this podcast. This is going to make understanding secret wars so much easier. I really like the way they mix humor with telling the story. This podcast is a must listen for any comic fan.
  • Chittlet
    Perfectly balanced as all things should be!
    I really enjoy listening to source pages because I’m the alpha geek among my friends who goes and learns as much as I can about the characters I’m seeing on screen. I love reading my comic collection and finding new things to read and this podcast always helps me find new content to expand my knowledge. I have been a long time MCU cast listener and I’m so glad source pages is part of The Stranded Panda Network!
  • Lexie Sue Smith
    Great Connections
    I heard about this podcast on Marvel Cinematic Universe Podcast, gave it a try, and loved it! As a comic reader myself, it’s nice to see all of this comic knowledge being tied into the movies and series for everyone.
  • Not so sharp shooter
    Spark notes for an MCU nerd
    I found this podcast while listening to my other favorite in the stranded panda network and I’m so grateful. My obsession with Marvel is purely for the movies since I have no comic book background but thanks to this cast I have all the little insights that make me feel like a better fan. I started with their Moon Knight primer and haven’t looked back. Laters gators!
  • Captains2012
    Spark notes of Podcasts!
    Whenever something new is coming out, a movie or a new MCU character is introduced, I always try to research that character or read up on the story. As a mom of two toddlers, I’m so glad there is a podcast that can now do this for me! The MCU podcast is wonderful to review and "fan-girl" over new content with, but Sourced Pages takes that one step further and really dives into the lore of these stories and characters to prepare you for the new content. Thanks for making my life easier, Hayley and Brian!
  • Allybug21
    Comfortable Comic Knowledge
    I have been listening to the MCU podcast for a while now, and with all of the love and joy I get from the stranded panda family I knew I had to branch out. I have wanted to get much more into the comics world for a few years now and have held out for a personality or group I enjoyed and Moon Knight releasing gave me just that opportunity and excitement! I had to know more about the comics. Thank you so much Hayley and BVK for being such an amazing addition to my day with fun and funny comic knowledge :)
  • tubulartommy643
    Makes reading the comics worth it
    My girlfriend thanks you for being the friends I’ve never met who I can pretend to speak with about these comics. Lol, well done folks
  • Ace de chase
    Great show!
    The stranded panda network is great. They have wonderful content, if you haven’t listened to them yet you need to!!!
  • PC__LOAD__ LETTER
    Source Pages
    I really love the idea of this podcast and am stoked to be here at the beginning. Can't wait to find out what new source pages we are driving into together. I am a huge fan of the Stranded Panda Network, and have been meaning to review all your shows for a long time! Five stars all day long!
  • Joe Mcstuffins
    The Cast I didn't know I needed
    When I see a movie based on comics, I always find myself wondering about the comics that provided the source for that movie, but seeking them out can be challenging. The solution -- This Cast!! Hayley and Brian post comics (generally about a dozen) related to a property in advance so you can read them (though this is not required), and then discuss them. It's so helpful, and I love it!
  • RangerLG
    Great Cast
    I’ve only recently started in the MCU and never read the comics. Having a car go over all the source material is great. BVK and Haley do a masterful job with this podcast.
  • GetBusyDyin
    Great For MCU and Comic Fans
    A great podcast for fans of the MCU and Marvel comics as well. I love the deep dive into the comic source material and the comparison to the MCU content. Don’t miss an issue, I mean episode!
  • KonaRiderJGM
    Great way to get more info of characters
    I have really enjoyed listening to this podcast and taking a deeper dive into learning what makes the movies/shows I watch so deep and meaningful. I love how sometimes characters/storylines are true to origins but other times they take it in a new way I wasn't expecting. Keep up great work KonaRiderJGM
  • MrReal4Real
    Thank you!
    This is such an awesome podcast! Must listen. Sobriety optional. 😏
  • NoonienSoong
    THEY READ SO WE DONT HAVE TO
    It's not that I don't like to read novels and comics. I do, it just that the volume of information out there available to me is a daunting mountian. I have a long list of things I want to read that aren't related to shows and movies as well. So it is really nice to have some of the background work done for me on new shows and movies coming out. Thanks for keeping me in the loop.
  • Brita 💕
    Never Judge a Book by it's Movie
    So great to be able to catch up with the source material for my favorite shows while I fold the laundry and cook some dinner for my kiddos. Stranded Panda is a great network. I am so glad I started listening. Love you 300.
  • Benjamin55404
    Source Pages a Reading Collective
    These guys take books and novels as introductions to our favorite movies and shows. So far we have had a look into Black Widow, Kang, Uatu, Shang Chi, and WandaVision source materials. It has been a lot of fun so far. Can't wait for the upcoming Dune deep dive!
  • mutherAAAAAA
    Amazing pod

    #pocsafe

  • JollyGreenHulkster
    Sources Pages!
    So much fun to explore. I am stoked for the Amazon Lord of the Rings show and hope that you guys will be covering that when it releases! The WandaVision retrospective was great, too! I haven't had a chance to read those comics yet so it was fun to hear about them in light of the Disney show. Thanks!
