After several weeks of dystopian and urban fantasy, Brenna and Joe travel back in time to the 1980s and the Iranian Revolution for a deep dive in Marjane Satrapi's award-winning comics & animated film, Persepolis.

Brenna touches on a vital lesson in semantics re: the classification of the text as a comic vs graphic novel (and why the distinction is so important). We also address the cyclical nature of the two volumes, the melancholy implications of the text’s ending and the universality of Satrapi’s sparse visual style, which is so effective at drawing audiences in.

Plus: Brenna pitches Joe on Jacqueline Woodson's Harbour Me and Joe discovers (after the fact) a potential future Chapter in Dan Wells' I am Not A Serial Killer (aka Jr. Dexter).
