United States3 years ago - Love the idea, hate the creator
I really enjoy the idea of calibrating the X-Men. The comic lore is fascinating and nuanced, and I hope others would enjoy reading them! My issue with this podcast is the demeanor of the creator. Jon has the tendency to be condescending due to his insecurity and I get the impression that he enjoys lecturing a little too much. I really enjoy the content of this podcast, but have trouble with Jon’s pain.

If you aren’t listening and love X-men in any way. Love the guests and the show format is fantastic. I look forward to many more and have started from the beginning again. Seriously give it a shot and remember heroes are a spectrum!

Don’t read much of anything. Wanted to make a resolution this year and try and do that. Class of X is a great introduction for new readers to have a foil through guest readers being educated on stories and elements of X comics by Jon Risinger. I’ve checked out every run discussed on this show through digital subscription, library loans, and buying collected volumes since starting this podcast.
I hope that Jon one day has no one left to invite onto the show because he’ll have educated all of the... more

I don’t have a lot of free time, but I love superhero stories. Being able to work and listen to Jon talk about the X-Men stories in an in depth way while also providing the outside information needed for these comics gives me a much better understanding of X-Men as a whole
