For 2013, the podcast featured a Love/Haters section in which the hosts declared their love or hate towards different people, from WWE wrestlers to comic book writers, as requested by fans. In 2014, it was replaced by Every Story Ever, a massive ranked list of every comic book ever, or at least the ones send by fans, rated from best to worst (the list started with ''ComicBook/BatmanYearOne'' as the best and ''ComicBook/IdentityCrisis'' as the worst, the latter of which has kept its place so far). They have since added yearly segments, including Word Heavyweight Champion (ranking the best 100 quotes in comics), Panel President (ranking characters in comics), and This Or That (deciding between two scenarios suggested by listeners). In 2019, they also began special Comics Catchup episodes, in which they read a series voted on by listeners, discuss it, then add it to the Every Story Ever list. Some of these segments receive entire special episodes, usually once a month, dedicated to plowing through as many of the lists as possible.
