About this episode

The episode discusses the final issue of Solo by Brendan McCarthy, highlighting its visuals and storytelling while reflecting on the series as a whole.

The final issue of Solo, by Brendan McCarthy, is memorable for its psychedelic visuals and offbeat storytelling. It's a fascinating issue that has been held in high regard by critics in the years since its release. Outside of comics, McCarthy is known for his work on Mad Max: Fury Road as a writer and designer, as well as cult animation such as Reboot. We spend a little time discussing what we know of his work, and then talk about each story in his Solo issue. Finally, we reflect back on the year of reading every issue of the series!
