Thanks to our awesome Patrons, we're proud to present another Booksplode! What's a Booksplode you might ask? It's a bi-monthly special edition podcast in which we take a look at a single graphic novel or collected edition, something we really just don't have time to do on the regular show. This month, we bit off a bit more than we can chew with Cerebus Volume 3: Church and State - Book One by Dave Sim. So much so, that we brought in an expert, famed cartoonist and established podcaster Alex Robinson of Star Wars Minute and The Godfather Minute! Alex joins Josh, Conor and Ron as they try to break into the mythos of Cerebus! Running Time: 00:59:30 Music: "Undisputed King of Nothing'" J Church Learn more about your ad choices.
