    Episode 22: Neil Time

    Every great comic has that moment where all of the disparate plot threads come to a head, all the characters react exactly like they’re supposed to, and something beautiful is born. No, I’m not talking about the High Society plot. I’m talking about Neil the Horse, which debuts in issue #40 (“Campaign”)! Also in this episode of Swords Against Cerebus, we cover issue #41 (“Heroes”). Other fun stuff in this episode includes: The empire is losing the blood wars. A worse, non-Neil Unique Story! New leads on the duck statue! Cerebus fursuit! (Not mine.) Find your hosts elsewhere: Sophia Goodnight’s podcast, We Have To Talk About Dash Rendar (also available wherever you get your podcasts). Want to explain Marx brothers to Ed? Email us at swordsagainstcerebus@gmail.com! Swords Against Cerebus’s theme song was composed by Avery Crimes! (Although this week's intro is a sort-of cover of Slark by Ed.) And follow Swords Against Cerebus through our RSS Feed, on Spotify, on Apple Podcasts, or just at Gruppeshrike! P.S.: Sophia did an excellent job editing out the thirty-nine instances of insane static coming from my microphone this episode. If you enjoyed this episode, tell her, because she’s the reason it’s even remotely listenable!

We're preparing for Petuniacon, and we've got a big helping of Swords Against Cerebus for you, covering issues 34 ("Three Days Before") and 35 ("Two Days Before")! Hey, is this arc actually good? Or am I just being tricked by notorious hottie Bran Mac Mufin (yes, really)! It's a big couple of issues. I promise you I haven't spoiled [even close to] everything.

    Episode 17: Rocks Fall, Momentum Halts

    And with the hiss of the cockroach, it’s Swords Against Cerebus once again, covering issues 30 (“Debts”) and 31 (“Catching Cootie”)! Maybe you already guessed, but our least favorite character is back! Also, we finally read “What Happened Between Issues Twenty and Twenty-one!” And I can promise you this episode will answer these burning questions: - Is that a titty window in the cover of #30?- What historical reference did we totally miss in #27?- Was anything actually explained by that short story?- Is Palnu socialist? And since you know I love to tease about the letters…one terrifying letter from Frank Thorne. Content warning: discussion of a character claiming to have been raped, summarized between 42:53 and 43:48, and analyzed between 48:24 and 55:00.
