476 - FCF: Die (feat. Eric Sipple)

<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">For this month’s</span> <strong>Four-Color Flashback</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Paul and Arlo roll the</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Die</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">to discuss Kieron Gillen and Stephanie Hans’ dark tale of a group of one-time RPG nerds getting sucked into the world of the game. Gillen has described the book as “goth</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Jumanji</span></em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">,” and there’s some truth to that–these characters feel everything, hard. Luckily, so do we, and so does special guest Eric Sipple, author of</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Mimesis</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">and co-creator of</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The Deli Counter of Justice</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">.
