Episode 32: BPRD and Moth City

Fun with Nazis and 1920’s Chemical Weapon Arms Traders

Brock saw HBO’s True Detective and now cant stop yapping about it. Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson head this crime drama that one would think had nothing to do with a comic book podcast, but Nick and Brock are media junkies so the intro is a topical free-for-all.

When thinking about BPRD, you usually think of Hellboy, but the hornless devil hero is absent from what we read this week. How the conversation ended up being as long as it was is anyone’s guess, but no one would have expected these books to leave Brock baffled by his own opinion. No one does Nazi references like Mike Mignola, though, and this is one of the few books that can bring them around and still get a laugh.

This week’s webcomic was Moth City from creator/writer/artist Tim Gibson. American cowboys owning islands near China and selling biochemical weapons to the 1920’s Chinese government to suppress the communists? Even that brief description doesn’t give an idea of what the reader is in for as they travel through this active panel comic that is full of intrigue and characters refusing to stay dead. A long conversation ensued and at a certain point and sooner or later the plug had to be pulled or it would have been another run at the longest CCCP podcast yet!
