Graphic Novice #068: Cleanliness Is Next To Godliness

Graphic Novice returns from an unscheduled hiatus with a landmark episode 68 with opening music by Henno.  VF and his sidekick discuss the stress of not reading comics, cabin renovations, Michael Leal, The Salty Language Podcast, bidets and bathroom sanitation, adventures at the dentist’s office, VF vs. The Angry Ginger and a t-shirt update.

The “Comic News” segments covers Ant-Man, Batman v. Superman and why Graphic Novice didn’t spend any time talking about the San Diego Comic Con this year.

In an attempt to get caught up, the guys have to dip way back into June and hide how few books they’ve actually read with an extremely selective version of “Rapid-Fire Review”.  The comic books discussed include We Are Robin #1, E is For Extinction #1, X-Men ’92 #1, and Ninjak #4 (from June 24, 2015), Captain Canuck #2, Detective Comics #42, Secret Wars #4 (From July 1, 2015), Batman #42, Earth 2 Society 2, Starve #2 (interspersed with a Todd McFarland rant), Civil War #1 and Boom!’s Strange Fruit #1.

Things are wrapped up, as always, with a look towards the books we’ll be discussing next week.  Thanks for listening, listeners.  We love you!

Graphic Novice #067: The Post Secret Wars Marvel Previews

Kick off your shoes, get comfortable and get ready for almost 3 hours of the Graphic Novice Comic Book Podcast.  The opening segment takes up roughly an hour, as VF & Nickel catch up and discuss the Graphic Novice T-Shirt campaign, cabin renovations, July 4th, gun control and fireworks.

After the non-comic related banter comes to an end, the “Comic News” segment focuses entirely on a run down of all the books scheduled for release or relaunch following the end of Marvel’s “Secret Wars” event. VF and Nickel discuss each book and share their relative enthusiasm for the title.

Following one of the longer news segments, HQ sent the signal down to try and wrap things up, so the guys limited “Rapid Fire Review” to one week of books, looking at the titles released on June 17, 2015, including: Captain Canuck #2, Black Canary #1, Justice League of America #1, Alex + Ada #15, Lazarus #17, Low#7, Manifest Destiny #15, Southern Bastards #9, Deadpool’s Secret Secret Wars #2, Magneto #19, Moon Knight #16, Ms. Marvel #16, Old Man Logan #2, Runaways #1, Thors #1, Bloodshot Reborn #3, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #45 & 46.

The guys promise to catch up on Rapid Fire Review next episode and close out the show with a look at the books released on July 8, 2015.  Thanks so much for listening… Stay Classy.
