Disassembled: Heroes and Villains
A podcast that doesn’t just explore characters—it deconstructs them.
Each week, we pull apart the most iconic, complex, and controversial figures across comics, animation, video games, and pop culture. From masked zealots to haunted warriors, fallen heroes to corrupted gods—we unravel what makes them tick… and what makes them dangerous.
Blending dramatic storytelling, continuity-rich history, and philosophical analysis, Disassembled isn’t just a lore dive—it’s a breakdown of the characters we thought we knew. One that asks:
When does belief become obsession?
When does loyalty become a lie?
When does a hero become the villain?
And what lesson can we learn from the icons we grew up with?
If you’re looking for more than backstories—if you want to understand the why behind the who—this is your next obsession.
New episodes every Thursday.
Written and hosted by Tom Bedford of Handsome Comics.

And as always—Stay Handsome.
