We'll commission a new piece of art--available to Patreon subscribers as a desktop background and everyone else as prints or cards--every month!
Weekly Video Reviews
We'll post mid-week video reviews of every current X-title!
Giant-size Semiannual and Twice the Posts
The Giant-Size Annual will become a giant-size semiannual, and we'll do two written posts a week!
Zine and Weekly Art
We'll commission new art weekly and produce a printed and digital Rachel and Miles X-Plain the X-Men zine!
T-Shirt of the Month
We'll release a new, original, limited-run t-shirt every month.
Rachel X-Plains Evolution
Rachel will write recaps and commentary for every single episode of X-Men: Evolution.
Podcast Wiki
Wondering which questions showed up in which episode, or where to find that one cold open about Fantomex? When we hit this goal, we'll start work on an exhaustive wiki and question index!
Website Revamp
We'll ditch our DIY setup and hire an actual web designer to revamp (and regularly maintain and update) the site!
A/V Upgrade and New Projects
We'll upgrade our video production setup, and start producing some new video and audio content--including some larger projects--in addition to the podcast and video reviews.

Welcome to Rachel and Miles X-Plain the X-Men, a weekly podcast where we walk you through the convoluted continuity of our favorite superhero soap opera!
Daunted by complex chronologies? Terrified by time travel? Confounded by clones? We are here for you. We have trained intensively for this responsibility for decades. We have the backissues, the calluses, and a really detailed map of the Summers family tree.
Rachel and Miles X-Plain the X-Men is free--and free of outside advertising--and we're committed to keeping it that way. Right now, though, each episode takes between six and ten hours to research, write, and produce--and that doesn't leave a lot of time or resources for additional content, like written posts, reviews of current books, and other material we'd love to add.
Your support will help cover operating expenses like hosting, comics, and production. It'll also allow us to budget more work hours toward the site and podcast--which means new features and additional content. In addition to written posts and reviews, we'll be able to commission podcast-exclusive artwork--desktop backgrounds, prints, and more--produce giant-size specials and a printed zine, and explain more X-Men, in more depth, more often!
