After a two-month hiatus, the Graphic Novel Apostle podcast is back! It's April, so we have some catching up to do on our Batman: The Long Halloween series. In Gotham City, it's St. Valentine's Day, and there's murder in the air! In this episode, Batman faces off with Carmine Falcone in front of Alberto Falcone's grave, Selina Kyle might have just figured out Batman's secret identity, and another colorful member of Batman's infamous rogues gallery makes her first appearance in our mystery. We should have suspected this villain to appear at Valentine's Day!

And if you haven't heard enough from me on this podcast, check out my recent appearance on The Intake Podcast, with hosts Carson Miller and Travelle McManus (yes, THAT Travelle McManus, from the Radiant Black book club episode of the GNA). We took a deep dive into what makes the Silver Surfer the best ... and the most emo ... character in comics.

Mark's pal Seth Borin joins the show for this Book Club episode to discuss beer brewing, moonshining, Prohibition era bootlegging, gangsters, hillbillies, southern magic, werewolves, and all the things that can go wrong deep in the woods of West Virginia. It's Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso's shadow-drenched 1920s crime noir/horror tale, Moonshine, vol. 1.

On this special episode, I'm joined by some of my favorite kids (including my own!) between the ages of 6 and 12 to talk all about Dog Man. We discuss the characters and what we like best about the world of Dog Man from Dav Pilkey's best selling graphic novel series. Then, we take a break an go watch the Dog Man movie before regrouping to share what we thought about the animated adaptation. This was such a fun episode, and it gave me a chance to spend the day with two of my favorite dads and our crew of kiddos. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

The Dog Man books are written and illustrated by Dav Pilkey and published by Graphix (from Scholastic).
