This episode we are celebrating Halloween in April! "Batman: The Long Halloween" is considered by many to be one of the foundational Batman stories that helped shape the caped crusader we know today. Following Batman in his third year of protecting Gotham city, this story shows the transition of city rule from the mafia to the super-villains, all framed by the emergence of 'Holiday', a serial murderer who kills every holiday.

For the first half of the show we talk about this iconic murder mystery comic run, and in the second half of the show we discuss other murder mysteries across various media platforms that are worth checking out!

Of course, we end the show by introducing the manga that will be the next long comic we will talk about in two weeks time!
