Monster 15: NPC Tenma

Folks, we are in the small dip that the rollercoaster does before it crests back up the hill and climbs for the final breathtaking scramble - this is Monster at its most exciting, locking into place for a nailbiting conclusion. Join us this week as Martin becomes the main character, and then watch along as Nina's tragic flashbacks sum up all of the subtext from the past couple of readings. We're heading back to the scene of the crime in more way than one, as we draw on some long forgotten (and cut) theories about what this all means. Matt and Quinn have a grand old time puzzling through what the devil is and how he works, y'all - this is a good one!


Material Covered: Monster (Chapter 123 - 131)


Next Time: Monster (Chapter 132 - 141)
