It's another round of TFTSB classics, where we're revisiting some of our favorite episodes. This week we are coming back to TFTSB #192. We are joined by close friend of the Shop, Faust. They have brought us one of their favorite books, Rick Remender's run on Uncanny X-Force: Apocalypse.

SPOILER WARNING! We do spoil the end of this arc AND talk a bit about the ramifications that has on the rest of the run

For this season's break, we are going back to some of our favorite episodes. This week, we’re going to revisit a conversation with one of our favorite writers (and friend of the show) Leah Williams (X-Factor, Power Girl, Gotham City Sirens). Leah brought us one of her favorite books, Land of the Lustrous by Haruko Ichikawa. It’s a weird, genre bending epic with a little bit of everything. Take a listen and find out why this was one of our all time favorites!

For this season's break, we are going back to some of our favorite episodes. This is TFTSB episode 199, where we talked to Jackson Lanzig(NYX, Batman Beyond, Star Trek) about one of his favorite books Tale Of Sand by Jim Henson, Jerry Juhl, and Ramon K Perez. In the spirit of re-runs, this felt like an obvious first choice given the infinite re-readability of this incredible visual story. This was such fun book, and Jackson was such a delight.

It is our last episode of the season and it is RJ's turn to pick a title from last year. He has brought us the wonderfully quirky and strange murder mystery, Hobtown Mystery Stories Vol 1: The Case of the Missing Men by Kris Bertin and Alexander Forbes. This was such a fun small town mystery with some really strange elements.

It’s Rj’s turn to take us back to the year of his birth. It’s 1994, and we are diving head first into Starman by James Robinson, Tony Harris and Wade Von GanBadger. It was a great year for comics, and this is a great pick. We follow a reluctant hero as he deals with the generational baggage of being the third Starman.

It’s Adam’s turn to pick a book from last year, and he’s bringing us Deviant by James Tynion IV and Joshua Hixon. This is a nailbiting ho-done-it that kept us all in suspense up to the very last panel. We all had a lot to say about this one, as it landed right in each of our wheelhouses for different reasons. It had a neo-noir style mystery at its core, it touched on serial killer lore, and also serves as a very important conversation about queer representation in the media.
