Frank and José go deep into the vaults for more of our earliest  unreleased recordings, dating back to 2015, with the 2012-2013 Boom!  Studios maxi-series Deathmatch by Paul Jenkins & Carlos Magno. Then, Frank goes solo to talk Paul Grist’s 2011 Image Comics series Mudman, Dark Horse’s 2014 Tomb Raider reboot with Gail Simone & Nicolás Daniel Selma, and the late life Vertigo title Coffin Hill by Caitlin Kittredge and Inaki Miranda. Given the amount of  corporate-owned IP, clearly the format of the show was still being  sorted out. Afterwards, Frank has managed to outlast the actual “Swords  of Cerebus” reprint series by entering his second “telephone book”  collection, High Society, starting with #26-29 (1981.) Mac is  present but mostly passive for this, another reason why we sat on the  material for nearly eight years.

Nearly three years since our last episode, and a thoroughly unforgivable  nigh on seven years since the original recording, Diabolu Frank and  special guest Token Fire Guy discuss the first thirty issues (or initial  five trade paperbacks) of Brian K. Vaughan & Fiona Staples’  sci-fi/fantasy series Saga. For perspective, this talk  took place in October of 2015, the same month Paper Girls launched, a  series that concluded four years later, had a television series  adaptation delayed by COVID, before finally being filmed and the first  season released since we hit the stop button on this thing. It’s even  about half a year out from the tenth anniversary of Saga itself. Though indefensible, Frank did try to edit this episode several  times over the years, initially overwhelmed by perfectionist leanings  and a complicated narrative scheme that didn’t work out across a three  hour recording, and then had that computer permanently crash, requiring  recovery and re-editing. As the episode progresses, you’ll hear that  fussiness go right out the window. Barack Hussein Obama was still the  President of the United States of America and Hillary his heir apparent.  It’s a podcast. It’s a time machine. And now… Saga.
