Wow. Just wow.
Thank you guys, first of all, for the many great memories, premature though this is. I was a ComicsAlliance reader who found you at Episode 3, so I’ve been with you a LONG time! This has been a weekly ritual for me, as well as being some of the best fun I’ve had listening to any podcast. I will try not to be too sad… but you will be missed. Still, the next few months with have a bittersweet quality to them, and I’m SO SAD about the many, many, many stories you’re never going to get to!
Second of all, your kindness and courteousness about informing us all about the impending end of the show is, as with everything you do, INCREDIBLY classy. I’ve had the rug pulled out from under me by many, many podcasts I’ve loved (though, of course, I love no podcast as much as yours!) when they just suddenly disappear. The fact that you’re giving us a warning is a great kindness.
Third, thank you once more for the many laughs and insights you’ve given. You guys are the best! I’m going to miss the show… but not for a long time, so I look forward to the next few months, in spite of the sadness!
I always pictured that they’d find two new hosts to continue X-Plaining. An All-New, All-Different team lineup, while Jay and Miles jump into the Siege Perilous and new lives. Guess we’ll survive the experience after all.
Sadness that the show will be end 🙁
Hi, long time listener first time poster. I just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work podcasting, researching, and doing this show. I met you guys once at Phoenix Comics and Games as part of an after show at Emerald City Comic con. (I got Jay to sign a Cyclops toy box!). I’m going to miss listening to this podcast every week when it comes out, but I hope you two go on to do whatever you want. Thank you so much.
And, posting this before I listen. But, you two have finally hit the first X-Men comic I got as a kid. Adjectiveless 112! What a weird book to get as a first issue.
