Matt Meyer is Comic Watch’s resident Comic Reviews Editor, host of The Comic Watchers Show podcast (@CWatchersShow), and has been with the site since 2018. When he isn’t neck-deep in his latest stack of unread back issues, he’s typically working to fix the space-time continuum in his busted-up, rusty El Camino.

Chad Burdette, the Content Manager for Comic Watch, is no stranger to the world of comics. Prior to joining the Comic Watch team, he was the comic book community blogger for the Times Union, the premier newspaper in Albany, NY for 8 years. He joined the site in 2020 as part of the Press Team since he is not very good at reviewing comics. In his few moments of spare time, he hosts his own interview YouTube Channel, is a consultant for the yearly comic convention held by one of the local public libraries, and sometimes sleeps.

Duna Haller is an editor at Comic Watch, focused on indie publishers and commentaries, as well as the host of the Mutant Watch show (@WatchtheMutants). She started reading comics at 12 and she has always been interested in the place comics occupy socially, and how they reflect the real world around us. Massive nerd stuff!

Ariel “The Bee” Bee is an old soul in an old body. She has been reading comics regularly since she was 8 (and irregularly before) so it was perhaps inevitable that her road has led her here to Comic Watch, where she writes about comics while chewing on tictacs.
