What happens when a child is born who will invent immortality? According to Ram V and Felipe Andrade's The Many Deaths of Laila Starr, Death is fired from her job, is cast into a mortal body, and attempts to find and murder this child. Oh, she also dies a lot. On this month's Four-Color Flashback, Paul & Arlo discuss the book's unique approach to Indian mythology, Andrade's beautifully distorted figures, V's ability to be self-serious without being pretentious, and more. Plus, Paul gets into Severance, the boys aren't feeling This Is Us' final season, and Arlo reads more Superman.   NEXT: it's an MCU catch-up session. The boys will discuss the trifecta of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Eternals, and Spider-Man: No Way Home.     BREAKDOWN 00:00:34  -  Intro / Banter 00:27:39  -  The Many Deaths of Laila Starr 01:32:20  -  Selecting the next FCF 01:36:03  -  Outro / Next     LINKS   “‘The Many Deaths of Laila Starr’ is more than the sum of its parts” by Meera S.
