À propos de cet audio

Swords Against Cerebus is the only podcast -- perhaps the only podcast brave enough -- to cover all 300 issues of the infamous Canadian comic book Cerebus. There were no other volunteers.

  • Episode 6: Ableist Batman: Dark Son of Reagan
    Mar 20 2026

    We are the night! We are episode 6 of Swords Against Cerebus! This one covers issues 11 (“The Merchant & the Cockroach”) and 12 (“Beduin by Night”). In the dark, mean streets of Kitchener, Ontario, one man has an idea: what if Batman but “craaaazy?”

    Just in case you thought these issues were starting to get any good, we unpack a big helping of ableism, along with the return of Elrod’s return, and Dave Sim’s account of himself.

  • Episode 5: Back Blasted in the Ball Hall
    Mar 6 2026

    Somewhere in the deserts of Mars, a hand falls to the ground, twitches once, and then ceases to move forevermore. The last of the forces sent to P’razz has been extinguished. The Venusian attack was swift and devastating. With the human economy decimated, there was no time or money to invent a bulwark against the arc lightning cannons, and nothing to prevent the loss of one of the most important strategic locations in all of the solar system.

    In a lead-lined command center on Earth, a general puts their head in their hands. No one says anything. The comm links beep out and fall silent.

    Finally, a great sigh rumbles out from the general’s chest. They look up, looking each and every person in the situation room in the eye. Words aren’t needed to express (in fact, couldn’t convey) the sorrowful resolve it inspires in everyone in the room.

    “There’s only one thing to do,” the general says, and everyone knows how the sentence is going to end before it clears their lips.

    “Send out the fifth episode of Swords Against Cerebus.”

    If you’re hearing this, it means you have clearance to hear episode five of Swords Against Cerebus, covering issues 9 (“Swords Against Imesh”) and 10 (“Merchant of Unshib”). Important take-aways include:

    The economic situation of Estarcion (it’s a mess)

    The invention of buz (it’s a mistake)

    The remarkable sexlessness of Cerebus’ misogyny (it’s, well, bad)

    Oh, and Cerebus gets his back blasted by balls.
