The Beatles wrote a song just for this occassion… We’re Sixty-Four! Michael Leal of the “Who The What Now” Podcast and Danger Entertainment helps us ring in our sixty fourth episode, which we almost dedicate to the end of DC Comics’ “Convergence” event. But… It wouldn’t be Graphic Novice if we didn’t delay the discussion of comics, in favor of some weekly off-topic banter. After getting all the network plugs out of the way, we get an update from VF farms, check in with Michael’s many exploits and get an update on all the ongoings of the Danger Entertainment podcast network. Nickel also takes some time to complain about stuff.
In the “Comic News” segment, Michael Leal walks us through some of the key events leading up to “Convergence”, in an attempt to help us understand the consequences of DC’s most recent universe-wide event. The conversation follows a few different tangents, as Convergence is compared to Secret Wars, and the guys debate whether Marvel or DC has better villains.
In “Rapid-Fire Review” we look at books released on May 20, 2015, including Fade Out #6, A-Force #1, Deadpool’s Secret Secret Wars #1, Guardians of the Galaxy #27, Master of Kung-Fu #1, Moon Knight #15, Planet Hulk #1, Secret Wars Battleworld #1, Uncanny X-Men #34, Wolverines #19, Bloodshot Reborn #2, Ninjak #3, Ufology #2, and The Tithe #2.
As always we wrap things up with a look towards the books we’re going to be reading next week (May 27, 2015), and say our goodbyes after a tight and efficient 3 hours of podcasting.

Tony and Bryan wax nostalgic about their memories of the past 199 episodes, bits that they did, and other silliness. They listen to voicemails from friends of the show, and talk a few stories and comics.

Back in the studio after the landmark “Guide to Secret Wars” episode, VF and Nickel spend some much needed alone time with one another. As is often the case, it takes a little while before the topic of discussion finally gets around to comics (40 minutes to be exact). Off-topic banter includes an update on Nickel’s cabin acquisition, The Salty Language Podcast attempting to deflate Graphic Novice’s Moon War victory, Doc Thirst’s disdain for his fans, podcast listening habits, the weather, VF’s chickens, Mad Max, and how Nickel gets drunk and lies about stuff to try and make friends at parties.
After the hauntingly beautiful “Comic News” bumper blesses your earballs, the guys discuss the Super Girl trailer, and the now cancelled Archie Comics kickstarter campaign.
Two weeks of books (May 6, 2015 and May 13, 2015) are covered in the “Rapid-Fire Review” segment including Afterlife With Archie #8, Convergence #5, Jupiter’s Circle #2, Nailbiter #12, The Wicked + The Divine #10, Amazing Spider-Man #18, Ant-Man #5, Punisher #18, Secret Wars #1, Spider-Gwen #4, Spider-Woman #7, Wolverines #17, Lantern City #1, Rebels #2, Convergence #6, Birthright #7, Black Science #14, Chrononauts #3, East of West #19, Savior #2, Walking Dead #141, Howard the Duck #3, Magneto #18, Ms. Marvel #15, Night Nurse #1, Secret Wars #2, Silk #4, Thor #8, Uncanny Avengers #4 and Wolverines #18.
As always, we wrap things up looking at the books we’ll be reading from the following week, and finally say our farewells. Thanks to everyone for your support, interaction and feedback.

Graphic Novice scribe Desmond Hassing joins Nickel & VF to take an in depth look at Marvel Comics’ Secret Wars. Throughout the episode, we take a look at the history of Secret Wars, try to figure out how it will end, and eventually work through the giant list of new titles Marvel will release as part of the event. To the surprise of no one, things tend to veer off-topic occasionally, but if you’re looking for information to help you navigate the muddied waters of Marvel’s Secret Wars event, where better to turn than the Graphic Novice Comic Book Podcast (don’t answer that)?
As we closed in on the 3-hour mark, Des is blindsided by the decision to wrap things up, but not to be denied, he sneaks in a brief “Rapid-Fire Review” segment to discuss a couple books Nickel & VF haven’t discussed before, including Image Comics’ No Mercy #2.
Tell your friends, co-workers, and grandparents, that the answers to all their Secret Wars questions have finally been answered… The Graphic Novice Guide to Marvel’s Secret Wars is here!
Also… VF bought some pet chickens.
Editor’s Note: We apologize if this podcast makes this already confusing event even more confusing. We are who we are.
Thanks for not kicking us off the interwebs just yet. If you enjoy or hate this podcast enough to leave an iTunes review, drop us a line and we’ll send you a handwritten thank-you letter.
Thank-you so much for listening.
