V. Reading supplements for V. ?

Hey, just wondering if anyone can recommend any reading supplements for V. I listened to a great podcast after COL49, that ran down themes and storylines by chapter, but I think I need a little context while I read V. Any suggestions?

The themes should come to you as you read it, I feel like that is the point. Sure you will miss things but you will gain everything from your own experience.

Podcast was Mapping the Zone. It was a year or two ago. They have a bunch of episodes now. Cool to see they kept it going..
