Read This Comic (Before You Die)

From the vaults! Join the RTCBYD team as they discuss the dark graphic novel classic The Crow, taking in references to the movie and their own goth youth secrets. Join your hosts Stu Taylor, Neil Gortz and Lucy James in the final episode of this current series. Get in touch if you would like to hear more. *AKA, an episode recorded way back that we've only just uploaded.

Bonus Episode! Found behind the sofa, this is technically the first episode of RTCBYD ever recorded, way back in February 2018*. Join your hosts Stu Taylor and Neil Gortz as they discuss this dark and challenging Punisher Max storyline by Garth Ennis and Leo Fernandez. * Excuse the outdated references to the as yet to debut Infinity War movie and second season of the Punisher Netflix show.

In the penultimate episode of season one, Lucy "One Take" James, Neil "Stallone Defender" Gorton and Stu "Dinner Party" Taylor tackle the iconic Judge Dredd villain (villains?) Judge Death and the Dark Judges. Expect segues into giant vagina monsters and '80s dessert choices.

We're back after a mid-season break! This time Lucy James takes co-hosts Neil Gorton and Stu Taylor down to Fabletown... as she weaves a tale of why the critically-acclaimed Fables from DC Vertigo should be in your collection. Along the way we ask the big questions, like can a relationship survive someone eating their grandma and can you copyright a flying monkey?
