United States4 months ago - Fantastic podcast!!!!!
If you want to learn all about X-Men without reading the comics this is for you. I’m a huge fan of comics but never the x-men. After reading this podcast I went too my LCS and picked up 5 omnibuses and some single issues. I’m sure my shop is thankful for y’all

Apple Podcasts5jlynch8United States2 years ago - A must listen pod for fans of recent X-Men comics!
Long time listener of the pod. It’s been amazing to follow Justin and Alicia’s comic reading journey, they have come so far! I really appreciate their enthusiasm and dedication to reviewing all the latest X-Men books. Hope they keep up the good work!!!
Apple Podcasts5DMVCBNUnited States2 years ago - I’m finally caught up.
I’m a newish listener. I started at episode 1 and got caught up around new years 2024.
BTW I agree with Alicia for different reasons. Audio books don’t count as reading. Speaking as a heavy audio book listener who only READS comics.
