August 28, 2024Episode 57: Dark Empire

August 14, 2024Episode 56: Traveling to Mars
We're back! And this episode, we're reading a comic from one of our favorite contemporary writers, or at least one of our most-referenced, Mark Russell. Traveling to Mars may be the most contemporary series we've covered, an 11-issue epic following a terminal cancer patient's journey to become the first human to set foot on the red planet, and claim it for the Easy Beef Corporation. Along the way we get some robot shenanigans, one man's critical appraisal of his life, and the beautiful story of a fish called Leroy Brown.
Next, on Crying in the Book Club: We're heading to a galaxy far, far and away for the comic that inspired everyone's favorite Star Wars movie: Dark Empire.

June 26, 2024Episode 54: Gunjo
We're closing out Pride Month with a classic Emily-core pick in Gunjo, a toxic yuri manga about two lesbians who fucking hate each other. But also love each other. And also commit all kinds of crimes. I would call it fun but it's actually grim and sorta depressing.
Next, on Crying in the Book Club: We're going back to the X-Men for God Loves, Man Kills

May 08, 2024Episode 51: Runamay 2, Part 1
It's May in the book club (and everywhere else, I suppose?) and you know what that means: it's time to return to Marvel Comics' best team of all time, the GOATs of teenage superheroes: The Runaways. This episode, we read the first 12 issues of BKV and Adrian Alphona's second volume of Runaways, and discuss all the teenage angst that comes with the territory. Also: Jean-Luc found a sick forum from 2005 where they talk about Runaways and reports back. Also also: We find out which hosts have experienced sex with a power vacuum.
Next, on Crying in the Book Club: We close out Runamay 2 with the last twelve issues of BKV's Runaways.

April 10, 2024Episode 49: The Wize Wize Beast of the Wizarding Wilds
This week on "Comics With Names That Are Needlessly Long...." Ok that was mean. The name is fine. Chad's back, hanging with the usual hosts. It's just like the old days, right down to the fact we talk about some perv shit the whole time. Except unlike the old days this time it's actually what we're here to do! So that's cool.
Next, on Crying in the Book Club: It's episode 50! We've got some stuff planned! You'll find out when we do!
