Episode 65 - Just Like Animals



Comics Therapy. No Reviews. Just Analysis.

Three books from November 5, 2014. Plus a Second Opinion, featuring questions answered by a different listener each week, with Keith Silva.

Show Notes:
This week’s theme is all creatures great and small. It’s heartwarming, isn't it? After a month of horror books we needed this. Like a giant, cuddly, soft and furry palate cleanser. Wait, that came out wrong. Anyway, we’re looking at three books that feature animals in three dramatically different ways. Cybernetically enhanced smart ass killing machines, time traveling imprinting dinosaurs and neglected-then-coveted man’s best friend.

Terrible Lizard #1 31:55
Back to the Future

Homeward Bound

Show notes this week are brought you by an inexplicable fondness for Michael J. Fox movie meta references. Duh.

Episode 64 - Hell Is For Children



Comics Therapy. No Reviews. Just Analysis.

Two books from October 29, 2014. Plus a Second Opinion, featuring questions answered by a different listener each week, with Joe Patrick.

Show Notes:
Happy Halloween! No, for real. It is Halloween right this very second, and we are happy and you should be, too. (Sure, now that this is posted it's actually November, but in the moment let us celebrate October with one final round of horror comics.) This week’s theme is creepy children. Some of the scariest books, movies and comics we’ve ever seen or read have involved kids who are either not all there, or not what they seem or just...not. These two books do their part to add to this delightful niche in the genre, where children aren’t a source of joy or peace or love, but in fact something to fear or fear for.

Missing children. Children who keep demons away. Boogeymen who take children. Parents who miss children. Hit men who kill children.

A child destined to bear Satan's heir. A child who kills, repeatedly. Happens to be the same child.
