Ep. #255 - Conquerer Jones

• Intro - EVERY SINGLE HELLBOY BOOK IS 45% OFF. This is not a drill. It's the holidays, so make someone happy with the gift of Hellboy (or other Dark Horse books, which are all 45% off too). Knitting, listener email, Iron Fist opinions, opinions about other comics, and what we think about Jessica Jones on Netflix. Comics and comics and comics.

• Club Book - Hellboy vol. 5, Conqueror Worm is on the dance floor and we are swingin' with it, doing the Mashed Potato, every dance you can think of. Yes, we are Whipping and Nae Nae-ing too. This is a big turning point in the story of Hellboy, and this trade is a great demonstration of character work by Mike Mignola as writer, which is occasionally maybe overshadowed by Mike Mignola the artist.

Ep. #254 - The Shirt Cannon of Doom

• Intro - EVERY SINGLE HELLBOY BOOK IS 45% OFF. Still. Go over there and buy that stuff. Austin is sick, Frank Miller hates, full stop, he Hates. Well, he doesn't hate giving Superman a huge dick. But whater'ya'gonna'do? We review Superman American Alien #1 by Max Landis, Nick Dragotta, Alex Guimares, and John Workman.

• Club Book - Hellboy Right Hand of Doom, Volume 4. This volume has more short stories than the previous, and a nice varied palette of storytelling, both character- and visually-driven. We see Mignola's writing start to gain its finer point, with the focus being shifted, and we also have the most iconic three panels from any comic ever.

Ep. #253 - Coffin Full of Tears

• Intro - EVERY SINGLE HELLBOY BOOK IS 45% OFF. Not only those books though, it's all Dark Horse. Time to invest your money into some great stories. And then, listen to us agonize over what art is and what it's doing to us. Will we survive? Maybe. The art might, so at least we have that.

• Club Book - Volume 3 of Hellboy, The Chained Coffin and Others. A book of short comics, and basically there's not a single misstep in any of them. That's hyperbolic, but it is true that the comics are super well done and artistically amazing. We do have minor things we disliked, but yeah. Minor. We love Hellboy.

Ep. #252 - Paprika Chicken Baby!

• Intro - You can check out the pilot of Ash Vs. the Evil Dead online, legally, for free. David does an impression to remind you of that? The Manson family was totally nuts and crazy. And then...

• Club Book - Volume 2 of Hellboy, Wake the Devil is on the dance floor with us this week. Is the book funnier than all other Hellboy volumes, and is that weird? Plus, did Mike Mignola write later issues, or did Hellboy? We do discuss things like his characterization through dialogue use, and also Guillermo Del Toro and the film Crimson Peak. Wait. Yeah. Yeah we did do that. Thanks for stopping by!
