If there's anything negative to say, it's that the stories are just as sinfully short as the podcast/performances.

I love TAH so gosh dang much. As always, some segments hit a little harder than others, but boy was this a fun ride. The whole thing was fun, but Beyond Belief really did clinch it at the end. I’m hopeful for more TAH in comic form, as the other mini-series’ from the Bens have been quality as well

I fell hard and fast for the podcast, and so was delighted to get this into my hands. It was nice to have something tangible and, since I may not ever be able to see the show performed live, something visible. The illustration style changed with each story told, which I thought was really clever, as the tones of the show vary wildly from segment to segment. The adverts are clever and silly, and are not frequent enough to detract from the stories.
I heard all the voices in my head as I was reading.

If you're familiar with the podcast, it's just like the podcast but with pictures! If you're not familiar with the podcast, it's a bunch of one-shot comics in various genres inspired by the sort of entertainment that was popular in the middle of the 20th century: a couple of space westerns (one from the law-enforcing end of things, one from the tall tales side), an amphibious noir detective swimming in manpain, a British empire time-traveler, a superhero with Basically All The Powers and a club of kid sidekicks, a Captain America parody, a shipful of people exploring space in the name of science and diplomacy, a rich guy pretending to be a hobo to find his true love, Amelia Earhart having secret adventures as a time-traveling Nazi-thwarter, and a married couple of functioning alcoholic socialite spirit mediums who stumble into all sorts of shenanigans without even trying. All of this is presented with humor and affection, and it matches the style of the podcast perfectly--probably because the writers are the same between the two.

This was a lot of fun but mostly made me miss the podcast.

I'm a HUGE fan of the Thrilling Adventure Hour podcast, but some properties don't translate well between mediums, and this is apparently one of them. A couple of the stories in this collection are fun, but for the most part they feel flat without the distinctive voices that make the show such a pleasure to listen to. Thrilling Adventure Hour stories are knowingly formulaic, but the actors give it the "wink and a nod" that tells the listener that this quality is just part of the campy quality of the overall program. On paper, it just feels like formulaic writing for the most part.
In short, if you don't listen to the show, don't read this. If you are a fan, read it with caution.

If you're a fan of The Thrilling Adventure Podcast, this is a must. If you haven't heard the podcast, but like a good anthology of various stories, this is also a must. Each segment fits the tones and feels of the podcast it's been drawn for and it makes me incredibly happy.

This is based on a radio/theater program I have never heard nor seen, which is why I do not think I enjoyed it very much. This graphic novel has a collection of shorts with very odd story/character combinations, which would be more amusing for those with some familiarity with the show. It isn't necessary, though, the shorts seem to work on their own.
