    Finale Crisis (not really though)

    Finale Crisis (not really though)

    Hey, this is a weird way to do this, but this is the end of "Why Comics?" I don't see any real future where the show comes back, but as most of us know, never say never. However, I just can't do it with the same energy and passion I had as before. Thank you all even if you've listened to just one episode.
