The clubbies get mesmerized by Leviathan’s art and not-new-but-not-boring take on a classic monster of destruction story; Seeds makes us talk bees, love, aliens, internet, symbols and you guessed it... seeds; and, Infinity Wars deals with an original universe, and a new villain that could conquer Thanos?
To honor the monumental milestone that is FIC’s 51st episode, we now bring your ears a special variant edition, wherein club members pitch books we’d like to see hit the shelves.

In this episode, we get into “Bone Parish”, and discuss what could happen when a family-run, bone-snortin’ business gets too big for its britches.
“Justice League Dark” teams up the B-List that’s gonna save magic - it’s like Justice League, but a bit bolder & better for us.
“The New World” is the FIC pick of the week, and delivers a club-love story set in a world we never hope to see, and yet already feel we’re on our way.

This week, “The Mall” delivers a Mafia-style, reverse-Mamma Mia, with all the 80’s you can handle, dark undertones, and everybody gets their own store! “Euthanauts” takes a ‘death positive’ perspective, leaving the club ‘death-questioning’, with its unabashed curiosity and deep-dive into the afterlife; and “The Life of Captain Marvel” is really the life of Carol Danvers, a beautifully-layered narrative about superheroism within a complicated family.
