Welcome friends to Back Issue Bloodbath, a comics-centric podcast presented by Geek Hard. Join hosts Andrew Young and Petula Neale as they get down and dirty in the four-colour world of comic books, focusing on classic stories, new issues, comic creators and hot button topics.
As many listeners know, we like to talk about murder on Back Issue Bloodbath. Tales of murder most foul are good times over here. Hell, we have Bloodbath in our name. Of course, we love a bit of killing in our comics. So this week felt as good a time as any to get back into a noir murder mystery of the familial variety. This week on Bloodbath, we give our review of the 2022 comic miniseries The Deadliest Bouquet.
Written by Erica Schultz with artwork by Corola Borelli, The Deadliest Bouquet focuses on the three daughters of Jasmine Hawthorn, Rose, Poppy and Violet. Jasmine was a hard-edged killer who trained her kids in the art of espionage. But in 1998, her past finally catches up with her, and it’s up to her estranged daughters to solve their mom’s murder. Easier said than done. They’re likely to kill each other before they solve the mystery.
Join Andrew and Petula as they look back on The Deadliest Bouquet and give their thoughts. It’s a fun ride for those who like a bit of killing. All in a day’s work for Back Issue Bloodbath. Enjoy!
