Extra Issues – Berserk Part #1 – Vol. 1-3

Zuck the Fairy and Charlotte “Iron Slab” Fierro begin our two part series on Kentaro Miura’s seminal dark fantasy manga series Berserk. This episode covers the first 3 volumes, and the next episode will cover volumes 4-14. The manga series continues after that but 14 concludes the first big portion and provides a satisfying conclusion if committing to 42 (and counting) volumes seems intimidating.

Comics covered in this episode:
 – Berserk Vol. 1-3

Topics discussed:
– Do these opening volumes “sell” Berserk to its audience?
– Why Guts so sad?
– Is Puck the Rick Jones of Berserk?

Our next miniseries will be on Kentaro Miura’s Berserk:
Ep 2: Vol 4-13 (trust us, splitting it up like this makes sense)

Following that, we’ll be doing a miniseries on Jeff Smith:
Ep 1: Bone, and Rose (A Bone prequel)
Ep 2: RASL

After Jeff Smith, we’ll be covering Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman and M.R. Carey’s Lucifer, as well as some spin off titles. The episode breakdown will be finalized soon.
