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 12: Don't Be So Bloody Damn Tiresome
    Jun 15 2026

    Come in, traveler. Rest your weary head. Let us care for you, but leave well alone the cellar…where we’re cooking up the twelfth episode of Swords Against Cerebus, covering issues 23 and 24 (“The Beguiling, parts 1 and 2”)! This week’s discussion questions:

    Did Dave Sim kill John Lennon?

    Can you trust any women?

    Does anyone not want to fuck Cerebus?

    P.S.: It’s Ed’s fault this one is late. If you feel obliged to send them some encouragement, fire a few shots off your balcony in a random direction.

  • Episode 11: What if the boat is too small?
    May 30 2026

    Who are those fashionable podcasters in the Mega Man boots? Why, it must be the hosts of Swords Against Cerebus, bringing another episode to you! This one’s episode number 11, covering issues 21 (“Captain Cockroach”) and 22 (“The Death of Elrod”)! Maybe it says something that we rolled snake eyes on this pair of stinkers. Well, at least we had fun with ‘em!

    This episode features such incredible things as:

    A classic Dave Sim drug story!

    Elrod bitching, again!

    A really stupid plan!

  • Episode 10: I Never Cared Much for Red Sophia
    May 15 2026

    Iceberg, right ahead! It’s episode 10 of Swords Against Cerebus, covering issues 19 (“She-Devil in the Shadows”) and 20 (“Mind Game”)!

    We were tricked — fooled, that is — by the last 18 issues, so sure we wouldn’t have to think about Cirinists and Suenteses for at least another five issues (if not twenty) that these issues knocked us on our fucking asses! For old time’s sake, let’s do some bullets:

    The return of Henrot!

    Rampant Islamophobia!

    Elvis!

    Easily the worst misogyny in the comic yet!

    Usually I’m one to tease all the good bits in the episode summary, but you’re going to have to hear this one for yourself.
