We return, having read those classics of the comics canon that we had shamefully missed out on, deliver our reports, and discuss whether a critical canon is even a useful thing.

Also: find out our thoughts on whether or not we'd shelter Nazi war criminals! What happens when there should be a human femur in a box but then you can't find femurs? Drinking with Tom Paulin! Other things!

We read:

• The Unwritten: Apocalypse - Mike Carey and Peter Gross
• Chainmail Bikini - Hazel Newlevant, Various

Our shame books were:

• Black Hole - Charles Burns
• Love & Rockets - Jaime Hernandez, Gilbert Hernandez
• Maus - Art Spiegelman
• The Dark Knight Returns - Frank Miller
• Ghost World - Daniel Clowes
• Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid On Earth - Chris Ware
