Julia and Victoria know absolutely nothing about comic books, but they’re diving into the deep end this week and sharing their unqualified opinions about the grim, layered, and existential graphic novel Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons.

In this week’s episode on The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo, Julia and Victoria talk about the journal entries they wrote as teenagers, Julia’s failings as a Spanish translator, using tweezers to write poetry, and how rare it is to find nuanced discussions of religion in YA fiction.

Julia and Victoria settle in for a cozy little detective novel: Agatha Christie’s iconic Murder on the Orient Express. Julia nerds out about this prolific mystery writer who defined the genre, and Victoria almost forgets the ending again.
