You Should Read This‪!‬ Alan Parsons and Ryan Ruppe

Did you watch The Mandalorian? We did! And the people who made the show very clearly read Lone Wolf and Cub. So we read the first volume of this legendary 50-year-old manga.

We get some of the old X-team back together when old friend Ian Ritch joins Alan and Ryan to talk about Jonathan Hickman, Pepe Larraz, and RB Silva’s full reboot of the X-Men comics universe in the interlocking double series House of X/Powers of X.

We got the gang back together to talk about a book we first looked into nearly five years ago: Ghosted, volume 1, by Joshua Williamson, Goran Sudzuka and Miroslav Mrva.







Get ready for spoopy shenanigans with Alan and Ryan and special guests Ian and Chewie!

This time on You Should Read This, Alan and Ryan jump into the Eisner award winning spoopy Dia de los Muertos tale from Ryan’s kids’ favorite cartoonist, Raina Telgemeier.

In this episode of You Should Read This, Alan and Ryan are joined by their pal Adam Ryan Cools to talk Dungeons & Dragons, RPGs with heavy lore, and deep, dark backstories in their discussion of Kieron Gillen & Stephanie Hans’ incredible book, Die.

To start off Season 2 of You Should Read This, Alan and Ryan tackle the first volume of the dense, legendary manga series 20th Century Boys.
