VF and Nickel get together with a couple of their favorite podcasters, Annaleis (@wiretechgirl) from The Dark Angels and Pretty Freaks Podcast and Michael Leal (@michael_leal) from Who The What Now to share tales of Free Comic Book Days Past and Present. Before we get to Free Comic Book Day, we take everyone down the rabbit hole with us and discuss parenting other people’s children, Tenacious D heading north of the wall, the financial woes of podcasters, Gotham, and The Gotham Lights podcast and more. Eventually we do talk about some more on-topic matters, including Free Comic Book Day, opening a Comic shop in Napa City, and The Avengers Age of Ultron movie.
Our thanks to Annaleis and Michael for taking a couple hours to chat, and to everyone who takes the time to listen. We’ll be back to our regular broadcasting format next episode.

This week, Travis tells the tale of Indiana Brad before he gets sick and leaves. After the break, Devin talks to Dan Lizette of Podcast Digest and Dan Dougherty, creator of Beardo Comics and Touching Evil.
Bonus episode! This very special episode of SOC was recorded during our live show at Penguicon 2015. Travis and Devin were invited to Penguicon as Featured Guests and presented SOC at a panel. We had special guests BluRaven Houvenerand Trico Lutkins, with special field reports by Ben K.
To celebrate the 60th episode of Graphic Novice, Nickel and VF attempt to record a 60-minute episode, and it almost happened. An abbreviated “Banter” segment touches on our new website staff reporter, VF’s new mattress, a Doc Thirst update, and Nickel’s issues with the craft beer scene.
The comic news segment takes a quick look ahead to Free Comic Book Day 2015 (Saturday May 2, 2015), including some shopping tips and free book suggestions. We address the Eisners, but postpone our in depth examination of the nominees until our next non-sixty minute episode.
For “Rapid-Fire Review”, finally accurately named, we look at books released April 15, 2015 including Sabrina #2, Crossed Plus 100 #4, Convergence #2, Convergence: Shadow of the Bat #1, Chrononauts #2, Fade Out #5, Kaptara #1, ’68 Bad Sign One-Shot, Magneto #17, Ms. Marvel #14, Nova #29, Thor #7, Uncanny X-Men #33, Wolverines #14, The Avengers Rage of Ultron Graphic Novel, and Bloodshot Reborn #1.
The sixty-minute buzzer goes off, VF loses his mind, and we painfully work through “Next Week’s Books” and the books that we want to check out after April 22, 2015. As always, thanks for listening, and please check out our website graphicnovice.com for newly released articles.
Tony and Bryan are joined by Ryan Beagley from Green Up Podcast for a bit, and we talk coaching, video game stuff, parenting and other stuff. Then, Tony and Bryan discuss Jared Leto’s Joker, Frank Miller doing Dark Knight III, Iceman coming out, Marvel teaming with Telltale Games, bourbon recovery, Arrow and more!
Nickel and VF (aka Benjamin) return for another episode of the Graphic Novice Comic Book Podcast, ready to take a shot at recording a 60-minute episode. And, they fail miserably. Instead you get 160 minutes worth of stories about VF’s roof, purchasing a cabin, thoughts on the Edmonton Oilers winning the NHL draft lottery, new comics versus back issues, digital comic sales as well as the superman v. batman and star wars trailers, and some discussion of March comics sales… and eventually, there is even some actual comic discussion.
In the aptly named “Rapid-Fire Review”, Nickel and VF discuss books released the week of April 8, 2015, including: Four Points #1, Evil Empire #12, Rebels #1, Convergence #1, Convergence Batgirl #1 (of 2), Convergence Harley Quinn #1 (of 2), Convergence Nightwing Oracle #1 (of 2), Convergence The Question #1 (of 2), Birthright #6, Descender #2, Jupiter’s Circle #1, Nameless #3, Saga #27, Savior #1, Walking Dead #140, All-New Hawkeye #2, Ant-Man #4, Howard The Duck #2, Spider-Woman #6 and Rai #8.
The episode wraps up with a look ahead at some of the books we’ll be reading from the April 15, 2015 release date.
