After a very quick hiatus, the CDB Crew is back with a new episode! Brian has chosen for us this week, Rock Candy Mountain by Kyle Starks and Chris Schweizer and published by Image Comics. We also get into conversations about other related topics like riding the rails, strong opinions of John Steinbeck, and how to summon the devil. It is a fun time to be had by all!

Other books talked about this episode: We Don’t Kill Spiders #1-2 by Joseph Schmalke and DC Hopkins (Scout/Black Caravan); Maniac of New York vol 1 and 2 by Elliott Kalan, Andrea Mutti, and Taylor Esposito (Aftershock); and How to Make Tostones by Vanessa Flores (https://twitter.com/vanieflores/status/1460695388290179080?t=pjkbia5hoqufpI-3J_iZ0w&s=19)
