The Warrior Prophet Chapters 22–25: The Circumfix 19.09.2026 51minOur full-series reread of R. Scott Bakker’s The Warrior Prophet reaches its conclusion with Chapters 22–25.We also look back at The Warrior Prophet as a whole and ask a question that surprised all three of us: Is this book actually better on a reread than we remembered? Both Shawn and Shobz found the battles and desert journey much less overwhelming this time, while I found myself appreciating the Esmenet and Serwë material more than I remembered. ⚠️ FULL SERIES SPOILERS: This discussion contains spoilers for all seven books of The Second Apocalypse.Next time, the Slog continues with The Thousandfold Thought, Chapters 1–4.Page Chewing BlogPage Chewing ForumSupport Page Chewing on PatreonAffiliate Links that support the show:Audible Standard Free Trial: https://amzn.to/4z1iKnsAudible Standard Monthly Membership: https://amzn.to/3S6vaddKindle Unlimited Free Trial: https://amzn.to/4wqkYdDAmazon Prime Free Trial: https://amzn.to/3UptxI9Join Captivate.fmSend a message via SpeakPipe -
Blood Meridian Chapter 13 | Chapter by Chapter Read Along 19.09.2026 14minChapter 13 continues one of the darkest stretches of Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian as Glanton's gang moves from place to place leaving bodies behind them.At this point, one question is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore: are these men still killing for money, or do they simply enjoy killing?In this episode, I explore the gang's increasingly indiscriminate violence, the kid's growing boldness, Glanton's apparent abandonment of the life he once had, and Judge Holden's remarkable ability to move between murderer, strategist, intellectual, and political operator.We also return to the contrast that has followed us throughout the novel, the desert remains extraordinarily beautiful even as the people moving through it become increasingly monstrous.And Glanton finally has a bounty on his own head.The hunters are becoming the hunted.Next up: Chapter 14.Page Chewing BlogPage Chewing ForumSupport Page Chewing on PatreonAffiliate Links that support the show:Audible Standard Free Trial: https://amzn.to/4z1iKnsAudible Standard Monthly Membership: https://amzn.to/3S6vaddKindle Unlimited Free Trial: https://amzn.to/4wqkYdDAmazon Prime Free Trial: https://amzn.to/3UptxI9Join Captivate.fmSend a message via SpeakPipe -

Scott Bakker’s The Warrior Prophet reaches Chapters 18–21.The Holy War enters one of the most brutal stretches of its journey.

We Actually Picked the Same Comic?! | Panel Chewing #146 11.09.2026 59minThis week on Panel Chewing, Steve and Jarrod do something that almost never happens: they choose the same Pick of the Week.But first, why are there so many #1 issues? We talk about the appeal of jumping into a brand-new comic from the beginning, whether publishers are leaning too heavily on #1s to boost sales, and why more comics might benefit from starting as limited series instead of promising an ongoing that could be cancelled before the story has a chance to finish. Then we dig into this week's stack, including American Caper #10, Powers 25 #12, Denver #1, Conan the Barbarian #34, Battle Beast #12, Black Star #2, Regicide #1, Batman: Bad Seeds, Terabytes #9, and Black Tower: The Raven Conspiracy #1.There's plenty to like this week, including the gloriously violent fun of Battle Beast, but The Last Driver isn't so lucky and earns a visit from the dreaded trombone. Then it's time for Pick of the Week, and somehow we both picked the same book. We talk about its deeply flawed protagonist, excellent dialogue, fantastic artwork, and a tense first issue that left both of us wanting to know what happens next. Finally, our Lone Wolf and Cub readalong reaches Volume 14: Day of the Demons, putting us officially halfway through the series. This volume offers another fascinating look at Edo-period Japan, the ordinary people caught within its rigid social structure, and Daigoro's remarkable ability to maintain his compassion despite everything he's witnessed on the assassin's road. Join us for comic reviews, our rare shared Pick of the Week, and another journey down the road of demons.Page Chewing BlogPage Chewing ForumSupport Page Chewing on PatreonAffiliate Links that support the show:Audible Standard Free Trial: https://amzn.to/4z1iKnsAudible Standard Monthly Membership: https://amzn.to/3S6vaddKindle Unlimited Free Trial: https://amzn.to/4wqkYdDAmazon Prime Free Trial: https://amzn.to/3UptxI9Join Captivate.fmSend a message via SpeakPipe -
