Still on the road and in the barstools, KMac and Yek switch it up this episode covering more of the cellared c’s with ciders and cryptids. Listen as we fine apple drink ourselves through the great offerings at the Capitol Cider House in Washington, DC and go hunting for all the weird, scary creatures in the Capitol region that don’t dwell in the big domed building on the east of the National Mall (Wink, Wink, know what we mean). Yek-ulder and Dr. KMac-ully break down the truth and fantasy behind those grainy critter videos and photos. The high-test apple brandy in no way influences our scientific scrutiny. Do you Beliv—rink?

Thanks to the core crew at Capitol Cider House for hosting us!

Cryptids:

· Snallygaster: Flying bird with a giant glowing eye with tentacle iron claws that sounds like a locomotive. Best call in Teddy Roosevelt to shoot that sh*t! (KMac: Partial real; Yek: 100% legit monster!)

· Dewayo (Hexenwolf): F’ you, Snally! Stop eating my chickens and harassing my Amish homies. Now you gone and made us archnemesises. (KMac: Big dogs or wolves; Yek: 100% legit monster!)

· Chessie, The Chesapeake Bay Monster: Thank you 1980s grainy camcorder technology of something popping up and down in the bay. Now we get to go crabbin’ and Chessin’ every summer. (KMac: Probably a manatee; Yek: 100% legit monster)

· Monogy (Devil Dogs/Hellbender): Nothing scarier to limey Red Coast than a half-man, half-fish-zard. I swam on down from West Va! (KMac: Obviously, Cryptobranchus alleganiensis; Yek: Ain’t no such thing as Cryptobranchus alleganiensis)

Welcome again to Masterpiece Comics Theater, an aural interwebs show where we debate all things graphic novels and imbibe all things barley brews. Lord KMacsworth III of Inkshire and Sir Yexington, Man of Comic Sans Letters bring you this time a heartpounding tale about a denary nighttides for a Slavic savage killing all in is path while being hunted by the Detective. The fashion minded killer won’t stop until all of those involved with creation of U.S. Millenium Falcon are мертвый. Can the Dark Knight get a step ahead in time to save the Gipper? Nancy does not D.A.R.E. to ask what will happen after 10 Nights of the Beast.

Artist: Jim Aparo
Inker: Mike DeCarlo

Colorist: Adriene Roy
Letter: Augustin Mas / John Costanza

The Highlights:

• KGBeast (Anatoli Knyazev): He knows how to rock those leather Gimp briefs, he knows how to throw shurikens, he doesn’t know cutting a rope is easier than cutting off your own damn hand. Nightly average body count: 9.8.
• A Complete Story Telling Ride: The covers make you want to read the book, the story keeps you turning the page, and the art and panel layout keeps the right pace for four fun issues.
• Batman gets the Beat Down: Proto-Bane just whales on the Bats. Two gunshots through the same shoulder hole. Good planning Dark Knight.
• Batman, the Detective: Only Batman can harass every street hood to find out where a Russian assassin hunting the president is. Gotham is his home and he knows every sewer storage room cul de sac.
• Reagan!: If you’re going to tell the ultimate 80s Cold War Story, you better not back off in featuring Ronnie hangin’ with Commissioner Gordon.
