Join us every week as we dive back into the "inappropriate" books of our youth and how they impacted our lives, exploring our fresh perspectives on these reads as adult women. In this week's episode (part 1 of 4), Sarah Wallisch, Andrea Roedel-Schroeder, and guests Liza Field and Liv Shircel review and react to the late ‘90s-early ‘00s comic book series “Johnny the Homicidal Maniac (created by Jhonen Vasquez).

Part 1- In Which Johnny is a Maniac, and Also Homicidal.
Johnny is, as it says on the wrapper, a Homicidal Maniac. We follow him through a spate of violent murders, and even worse, soliloquies. We meet his neighbor-kid, Squee, along with some victims and a few hallucinations (RIP NailBunny). Johnny has to keep a wall in his house well-saturated with blood to keep “SOMETHING” from getting through from…somewhere else? Maybe? Or maybe he’s just imagining the whole thing? Or maybe it’s real? And maybe he can’t die? Or be caught? Either way, lots of murder done got did. We dive into the author a little, who it turns out is a pretty rad dude, which you wouldn’t necessarily expect based on these comics.
