but I must admit that the show has gotten weaker since Bryan Deemer has taken a break

To each his own, I guess. Bryan returned recently and was nothing but negative, and mean, and critical without substance. I enjoy the upbeat and optimistic show that Pants creates without Bryan's influence.

I'm a longtime listener of GCS and between 2007 and 2011 I think I listened to the show almost every day. There are even 20-30 episodes I will never erase. I loved the fact that a guy like Bryan (and Mike) broadened their horizons with independent comics, manga and European stuff. The fact that they have a more objective view on superhero comics made it a more interesting show to listen to for me. Bryan is such a cool, inspiring guy and I find it such a pity his interests, duties and time went elsewhere. The fact that Mike got thrown off the show, I'll never get that. The last year I discovered some other great podcasts because of CGS interesting me less and less, despite the fact that I think the CGS-geeks are great guys. Where Monsters Dwell is certainly my favorite podcast now. Hopefully listening to Mike on his own The Nerdhub will be as good as it was on CGS. Fingers crossed.

Just got word of the departure of Mike. I ... can't ... believe .... this ... Damn !
I happened to share a lot of Mike's opinions and I also loved the fact that he looked beyond DC and Marvel for his reading pleasures. His voice is also nice to listen to. I keep listening to the CGS podcast, but I must admit that the show has gotten weaker since Bryan Deemer has taken a break, as much as I love the other guys. You will need to step up your game and get someone new with a broader view of the world of comics, like Mike has.
And there I was hoping that Mike could come along to London next year... Bummer.
