I haul a massive brick off the shelf today, but before I open it I go off on a long tangent about one of my favorite characters – Moon Knight! Then, it’s time to dig into the books – but, just half of them, since it was a seven-book stack!

In this episode I’m convinced I’m about to open a DC Absolute edition, which leaves me totally surprised when I open a pair of Hellboy Library Editions. How much do I know about Mike Mignola’s masterpiece, now 25 years into its ongoing story? I guess we’re about to find out.
