22 Panels - A Comic Book Podcast

22 Panels Episode 5, 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank

Send us a text 4 Kids Walk Into A Bank: A Masterclass in StorytellingFour days before Pitchers and Catchers reported for the greatest Cubs season of my lifetime (or really anybody's) I saw this headline at The Nerdist: 4 Kids Walk Into A Bank is Wes Anderson Meets Reservoir DogsAnd that's all it took, I was hooked. I knew I NEEDED to read this book, and the first issue couldn't come soon enough. The story was good enough to keep me hooked through a release schedule that involved 3-6 months between issues. Good enough for me to buy digital copies so that I would have easy access anywhere I went. Good enough to buy it in hardcover to showcase it on my bookshelf. And when Tyler asked me to do this podcast, planning our first episode for the week that Matthew Rosenberg & Tyler Boss were to release their reunion What's the Furthest Place From Here? It immediately popped into my head as the first book that I wanted to take a deep dive on for our show. Then as I re-read it I realized that it was not just the story but the ways in which that story was told that made this book not just good, but truly among the greats. With that in mind, Tyler and I decided that we would discuss the things we liked most about how the story was told rather than just the story itself.Consider becoming a patron!Support the show
