Hi all! We’re back from our season break! Did you miss us? We definitely missed you. For this episode, Darci and Brian, (Carrie unfortunately couldn’t join us to record)p, discuss Darci’s choice: The Sprite and the Gardener by Rii Abrego, Joe Whitt, and Crank! From Oni Press. There’s talk about the coloring, panel placement and, of course, friendship among other things.

The CDB Crew also talk about a new Heavy Metal themed comic coming soon to Kickstarter as well as their spotlighted books: Bolero #1 by Wyatt Ashley-Costello Kennedy, Luana Vecchio and Brandon Graham (Image) and This Was Our Pact by Ryan Andrews (First Second).

Also, decide at the end if Brian has gone insane during the break and is expressing this by being “artsy” on his personal Instagram page. Don’t worry, despite what he said, “Ennui” is not going to be next week’s guest star.
