S03 Bonus Ep: Arzach with ML Kejera

As the sweltering purple sun rises over the old ruins, the comics
in Yan and Nat's hands shrivel away and crumble to dust. With no
food, no water, and nothing to read for today's episode, the end
seems nigh for our brave adventurers, until… look! With a mighty
cry, comic critic ML Kejera soars in on a biometallic pterodactyl
holding aloft a glowing tome — "Arzach" by Mœbius! --- The
conversation with ML continues in the Comic Sans Aftershow, our
