This week, it's time for Shaun's to-be-read pick, and BOY HOWDY, it's time for every trigger warning under the sun! That's right, it's STRAY BULLETS by David Lapham! RJ tried to warn us that this was one of the bleakest comics he'd ever read, and somehow this book still surprised us in the depths of depravity and despair it brought us to! That's not to say that it's not a beautiful work of spectacular storytelling and phenomenal art, it is all that and more! And it's using all that talent to aim straight for your heartstrings and then your jugular. It's a heavy episode: TW for sexual violence, mass shootings, child abuse, child abductions, and just the general unpleasantness of humanity

This week, we dive into Shaun's all time favorite pick: 100 BULLETS by Brian Azzarello & Eduardo Risso! This book is an absolute masterclass in storytelling. It starts out with a simple premise: a person is given an attache, complete with an unregistered gun, 100 untraceable bullets, and all the dirt they need to get even on whomever wronged them. With this conceit, the first 10 or so issues play out like an anthology series. But slowly, the strands of this elaborate tapestry begin to weave together to reveal a conspiracy much deeper and darker than we could've ever imagined!

It’s Rj’s turn to pick a title to scratch off of his to-be-read list. This week power through yet another amazing title from Vertigo, Unknown Soldier by Joshua Dysart. The story takes place in a war-torn Uganda in the early 2000’s and focuses on the crimes committed by Joseph Kony’s Lord’s Resistance Army. Trigger Warning: some of the subject matter of this book is fairly upsetting.

This week we are joined by friend of the shop and friend of the show Mike Kaufman, who has brought us the DC sci-fi police drama, Far Sector by NK Jemisin and Jamal Campbell. What happens when a disillusioned police officer is given a burner Green Lantern ring and sent to the far recesses of space to maintain order in a society void of emotion? We talk about what it truly means to have emotions and navigate systemic issues present in all communities… even ones on the far edges of space.

This week, it's time to dig into one of RJ's all time favorites: MADAME XANADU by Matt Wagner & Amy Reeder! This mystical montage of mysterium and machinations brings us on a journey through time, with the Phantom Stranger standing at Madame Xanadu's opposition! The hands of fate are constantly trying to shape destiny with the help of the Stranger, while Xanadu is constantly struggling with the burden of foresight and how to truly do the greatest amount of good. It's high fantasy and high strangeness of the highest order!

This week, we're tackling an entry off Adam's To-Be-Read pile: Hellblazer- Original Sins by Jamie Delano & John Ridgeway! It's an iconic run for a reason! This book is full of laughs, tears, yuppie demons, child murderers, Christian pyramid scheme cults, Nazi hate monsters, and just so much more insanity! It truly is one of the first pioneers of the Vertigo era, paving the way for all the weird, esceroteric, and brilliant comics to follow in its wake.

It’s Adam’s turn to pick an all time favorite, and it just happens to be more Darwyn Cooke! We’re talking about the early 2000’s love letter to Will Eisner’s The Spirit. We can’t think of anyone more equipped to embody the (dare we say it) spirit of Will Eisner than the great Darwyn Cooke. And with Dave Steward and J. Bone backing him up, this book set the tone for comic visual storytelling that still persists today.

This week we're joined by our awesome friend, JenaLee @curlz_comics ! She brought us SHE HULK by Rainbow Rowell, with art by Roge Antonio, Luca Maresca, & Takeshi Miyazawa! This series is so full of heart, it's funny and heartbreaking, it's lighthearted at times and emotionally devastating at others. It's such a good "getting to know Jen" story (both Jens, in the case of this episode!)

For this week's episode, we knocked some dust off Cacey's To-Be-Read pile and dug into PARKER: THE HUNTER by Richard Stark & Darwyn Cooke! This quintessential hard-boiled crime noir was adapted from the novel of the same name from 1963, and in 2010 it was rendered in a simple, 3 color palette with effortless elegance as only Darwyn Cooke could do it! This introductory story for Parker is all about him returning from an attempted murder, exacting his revenge on all who deserve it, and getting back what he is owed. It's a nonstop odyssey of abject violence, and a masterclass in sequential storytelling
