Description

Melody and Rachel host their last episode of 2019, discussing comic books as well as superhero-centric shows and movies. Rachel takes over the reins as Melody moves on: here's hoping things don't go totally off the rails!

Check out what we talked about:
"The Sandman Vol. 1: Preludes & Nocturnes" by Neil Gaiman with readalike "The Sandman Vol. 2: The Doll’s House" by the same author. Also, the BBC Radio full-cast dramatization of "Neverwhere" based on the book by Neil Gaiman.

The comic book series "Preacher" by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon with readalikes "Hellblazer" by Jamie Delano and "Lucifer" by Mike Carey. Also, the AMC show "Preacher" and the FX show "Legion." (Rachel would also like to note that she misspoke during the recording: the character John Constantine was originally created by Alan Moore, not Neil Gaiman.)

"Captain America Vol. 1: Castaway in Dimension Z" by Rick Remender and John Romita, Jr. with readalikes "Captain America Vol. 2: Castaway in Dimension Z" by the same team as well as "New Avengers: Everything Dies" by Jonathan Hickman.

2019 films "Joker" and "Avengers: Endgame" as well as Amazon Prime show "The Boys."
