This week on Coffee & Comic Books, we begin our journey through Naoki Urasawa's Billy Bat. In these first five volumes we get some funny animals, ninjas, amusement parks, assassins, metatext, noir, Tezuka, and so much more. You can listen to the episode for free on the Export Audio patreon or in the podcast's own free feed at exportaud.io/comicbooks.
We also get pretty far afield talking about other comics too. Hit the read more for a list of other stuff we talked about and some fucking bananas pages from them. Rick brought some truly out there recommendations this week.
CW: One of the images below is from a page of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen that depicts something analogous to a school shooting at Hogwarts. Talking about Billy Bat led us down some rabbit holes.
