We're not out of the woods yet. This issue features the sexually deviant Sheriff from last month and, as expected, things get a little dark. If you're willing to bear with us, we promise he gets his comeuppance. This issue has a new kill, a new friend, and some new info on our protagonist (maybe even his real name!). Join us as we continue down the dark and wacky winding road that is "Plastic".

Warning: We will be reviewing the book in excruciating detail. If you have not read it and want to, please read the book (and/or check out a previous episode) before listening to this episode. If you want to know what happens without reading it, then let it ride!

In addition: This issue of Plastic features extensive themes on sexual assault as does the show discussion.

Sorry to be a bit of a buzzkill, but Plastic, while zaney and fantastic, also touches on some pretty heavy topics and has many graphic depictions of violence. It's definitely not for everyone, so if this is not your cup of tea, check out our episode on Batgirl: Beyond Burnisde. If you're interested in a story like Plastic, this issue further delves into the mystery of our protagonist, his psychoses, and the corrupt millionaire pulling the strings. In this episode, our protagonist only known as "Victor", loses his name but gains a new friend.

This episode, the guys are joined by their favorite comic book peddler, Richard O'Brien, to discuss "Batgirl: Beyond Burnside". The first volume of her current "Rebirth" series has Barbra Gordon jet-setting around East Asia, meeting one of her idols, rekindling an old flame, discovering new things about herself, and fight a mysterious group of students who will stop at nothing to get their teacher the information needed to pass the biggest test of their lives. Suggested by Richard, this book was completely off our hosts' radar. Find out how they felt out about it and see if maybe you should take a look it as well.

Spring is here and with it, a new beginning: one born in violence and sexual depravity. We start our second volume of Drinking Issues with Image's "Plastic". "Plastic" is a modern twist on the classic "beauty taming the beast" story. The only difference is this beast is a temperamental sociopath, and his beauty is...full of hot air. When the love of his life is held hostage by a powerful Southern aristocrat, how far will our "hero" go, and how many people will be left in his wake? Strap in for the first installment of this 5-part adventure.

Don't you hate when you find a nice gingerbread house to snack on only to have the witch that lives there try to eat you? This week, Mike tricks Davis into reading a horror book when the guys cover Scott Snyder's "Wytches" vol. 1. The story follows Sailor Rooks and her family as they try to uncover the truth behind this quiet town's terrible secret. This re-imagining of the classic witch folklore hides some surprisingly endearing human moments. Pledged isn't always pledged, even at the bottom of a roasting cauldron.

Drinking Issues is back with an overstuffed extra-sode. Due to last month's technical difficulties, this episode covers both issues 5 and 6 of Champions. The guys cover the conclusion to the team's introductory arc and the introduction of the Champions' villainous counterparts: the Freelancers. Also, the final thoughts and ratings on the story as a whole. Can the ends justify the means for our hosts? Listen and find out.
