Join Alan, Keith and Roddy as they deep dive into one of Marvel's finest hours - both in the world of comic books and the world of movies. Settle in, there's a lot to go through here! The Status-Quo-Shattering Saga that sent both critics and fans reeling! For more than 50 years, the Soviets employed an undercover agent - an unstoppable, untraceable killer known as the Winter Soldier - to assassinate key political figures in the West. His suspected identity? Bucky Barnes, Captain America's onetime partner, thought to have been murdered in the closing days of World War 2. Now, the Winter Soldier is back, working under the command of the ruthless General Lukin - who has obtained a functional Cosmic Cube, a weapon of limitless power that can bend reality itself. Vowing to end Lukin's reign of terror and destruction, Captain America relentlessly tracks the Cube's trail - only to find himself face-to-face against the Winter Soldier. Will Cap be forced to battle his resurrected partner so soon after learning

In honour of World Book Day, we thought we'd present a very special book club with one of the undoubted greats of the Comic Book Genre, Art Spiegelman's MAUS. MAUS depicts Spiegelman interviewing his father about his experiences as a Polish Jew and Holocaust survivor. The work employs postmodernist techniques and represents Jews as mice, Germans as cats, and Poles as pigs. Critics have classified Maus as memoir, biography, history, fiction, autobiography, or a mix of genres. In 1992, it became the first graphic novel to win a Pulitzer Prize. This one was Roddy's choice, and he is joined by Alan and Keith for a deep dive into this undoubted classic. We hope you guys enjoy, and please don't forget to like, rate, subscribe and spread the word!
