In this episode of Shelf Lives, I interview Reno V of the Comic Dissection Podcast & Judgmental Horror Junkies. We cover comics as literature, horror movies, one wild week for the Shelleys, our types of humor, the Great Muta, the US as a soft power institution (which...hasn't aged great), and tremendous amounts of nostalgia.
