The holiday season calls for a holiday story, and only one character can star in a holiday story. Big guy, red, magical. You know who we’re talking about...Hellboy! Hellboy goes on a ghostly adventure to help a tortured family on Christmas Eve. It’s not your traditional Christmas story, but since when was this show traditional. Enjoy the show and happy holidays to you and yours.

Since Jason Mamoa is so dreamy, we decided we had to read some Aquaman before the movie comes out. We tackle a recent Aqua-Epic in Underworld. Arthur Curry has been killed and a crazy, xenophobic madman has taken the throne (topical, eh?). If you’ve ever wonder what Game of Thrones would be like underwater, give this episode a listen.

Lets try something a little different this month. No superheroes, magic, or ‘topian futures. We team up with Jennie of Newbery Tart to cover “This One Summer”, an award-winning and controversial coming of age tale from Mariko and Jillian Tamaki. The book follows Rose, a preteen girl struggling with her transition to adolescence and how she interacts with the world. Check out this episode, then head over to http://www.newberytart.com and give them a listen (and maybe a follow on twitter!)

We’re mixing it up this episode. While we figure out what our next arc is going to be, we decided to read a random single issue from the current Avengers run. This issue expands on the 1,000,000 BC Avengers mythos and gives us backstory on some of Marvel’s more hellacious characters including the first ever Ghost Rider.

“But Jacks of Trades, they didn’t have motorcycles in 1,000,000 BC. What does he ride?”

A FREAKING MASTODON, THAT’S WHAT! We paired this issue with White Rascal from Avery Brewing Co.

Gideon Falls ended its first arc, and the guys have strong opinions. Did we get any answers? Did Mike lose it because people still don’t believe in the barn? Our best reviewed series to date gets its last review, and we decide if we continue it. This issue is paired with Mönchshof Schwarzbier and Founder’s Solid Gold.
