On this somewhat unusual episode of Comic Books Are Burning In Hell, Chris, Joe & Tucker discuss the graphic novel Slaine, written by Pat Mills and illustrated by Simon Bisley, published as a stand alone volume by 2000AD. After that, Chris takes his leave and Joe & Tucker have a long talk about movies they've recently, the passing of Philip Seymour Hoffman, and comic book criticism.

Forgive me, but I think Alex Ross is objectively kind of a bad painter. Look at Dr. Strange, Thor and the Hulk.

It's totally pronounced 'Slain'. That was the intent, and it's not like these characters are speaking any language anybody alive today would recognise anyway.

It's pronounced Slon-yeh, as a recent article in the Megazine stated. Basically, Irish pronunciation bares no relation to its spelling.
