Comics Therapy. No Reviews. Just Analysis.

Three comics from November 6, 2013. Plus your Nerd Confessions and Aaron's Inner Child.
On The Couch this week: artist and writer Becky Cloonan.

Show Notes:
Theme of the show is what happens when we die. Make no bones about it, mortality sucks. No matter where, or when, you are.

Mansion, check. Possession, check. Occult artifacts, check. Gateway to hell, check. Yeah, this is a pretty traditional haunting, starring a con man with a slightly different plan about how to spend the rest of his second chance at life.

Ten Grand #5 22:09
It's love story, okay? But he wasn't a very nice man and she's dead, and these things never really work out anyway, do they?

Trillium #4 29:28
The end of everything. Well, not everything. Just humanity. But we're selfish like that.
