Two recent collections from Sequart sparked Summer's curiosity, so editors Rich Handley and Lou Tambone dropped by to talk about "Musings on Monsters: Observations on the World of Classic Horror" and "From Bayou to Abyss: Examining John Constantine, Hellblazer".

Rich and Lou talk about coming up with the criteria for limiting which monsters to include in that volume, and we all talk about our favorite monsters from that era and what they mean to us.

Next, we talk about John Constantine, Master of the Dark Arts, the Hellblazer comics series, the too-short-lived TV series, his reappearance in the Arrowverse and what that may mean for his getting a new solo series on The CW, and more.
