POPULARITY
Crossed is a violent and graphic comic book series created by Garth Ennis. It explores the breakdown of civilization and the extreme horror that ensues when humans become infected with a contagion that removes all inhibitions. The series is known for its shocking and visceral storytelling, although some runs focus more on shock value than good storytelling. The original volume is a standout, with a focus on survival horror and impactful artwork. Other notable arcs include Crossed: Family Values, Crossed 3D, Crossed: Psychopath, Crossed: Badlands, Crossed +100, and Crossed: Wish You Were Here.

Stampeding brain-mad cattle, burning, gleefully defiling, massacre divine. That voice you hear in the back of your mind when someone cuts into line. That lust to twist the joint beyond the point of no return. That warm smile that welcomes you to atriocity. This is the beginning and end of everything. "Nice suit, you fruit."

Let's hear for the boys, specifically Ali who we have joining live in the beat lab. We discuss our favorite books and a little show you may have heard of, House of Cards. Please pay attention to the show notes if you haven't finished the series, we will spoil a ton of great plot points for you if haven't(Spoiler Alert: The last episode ends with an alien invasion, though you've probably figured that out if you've been paying attention). Also one last note, I was working on less than 5 hours of sleep and suffering from insomnia for a few days prior to the podcast so I get a little loopy and mean towards the end.

As always, we look ahead to the following week and look at some of the books we’ll be reading after February 28. Thanks a bunch for listening.
After wrapping up the 50th episode of Graphic Novice, the guys muster up the strength for at least one more episode. Before discussiing anything comic-related, the guys talk about Nickel's other podcasts, Doc's hockey career, a highly anticipated update on VF's struggles with convenience store sausage biscuits, Frankencastle, conservative Spider-Woman and keychain bottle openers. A quick discussion of the Spider-Man movie rights smoothly transitions things over to the comic book part of the podcast. In our weekly discussion of the previous week in comics, we look at Crossed Badlands 71, Batman Eternal 44, Detective Comics 39, Birthright 5, East of West 17, Postal 1, Saga 25, Wytches 4, Nameless 1, Nailbiter 10, Ant-Man 2, Avengers 41, The Black Vortex 1, Hawkeye 21, Punisher 15, Star Wars 2, United States of Murder Inc. 6, & Grimm Tales of Terror #6. We wrap things up with a look towards the books being released on February 18, 2015. Thanks for listening!
Two key members of the team are notably absent this week (for reasons we cant disclose) VF and the Soundboard. Nickel and Doc use this opportunity to take some deserved shots at VF and sneak in some hockey talk at the beginning of the show. We talk about dropping coins in a urinal, the hype surrounding Marvel's Star Wars #1, and our Top 5 Horror Genre comics, before discussing what we read during the previous week. "Rapid-Fire Review focuses comics released on January 7, 2015, and we spends some time talking about Crossed Badlands #69, The Woods #9, Batman Eternal #40, Detective Comics #38, Birthright #4, Deadly Class #10, The Fade Out #4, Nailbiter #9, ODY-C #2, Trees #8, All-New X-Factor #19, Amazing Spider-Man #12, Ant-Man #1, The Punisher #14 and Wolverines #1.

This week, Graphic Novice pays homage to Dolly Parton Wednesdays, and celebrates one of country music's all-time sweethearts off the top of the show. We continue our exploration of the female form with a look at newsworthy women in comics this week, including a Wonder Woman makeover, and a controversial Spider-Woman cover image. After discussing an intellectual look at Spider-Woman's physique, we debate the various reactions to scantily clad females in comics. A quick review of Marvel's AXIS event precedes our "Rapid-Fire Review" segment. Our review of the books from November 12, 2014 includes Crossed Badlands #65, Deep State #1, Evil Empire #7, Wild's End #3, Grindhouse Drive In Bleed Out #1, Batgirl #36, Batman #36, Batman Eternal #32, The Kitchen #1, Alex + Ada #10, Drifter #1, Fade Out #3, Outcast #5, Walking Dead #134, Wytches #2, All-New Captain America #1, Axis #5, Captain America and the Mighty Avengers #1, Death of Wolverine: The Logan Legacy #4, Nightcrawler #8, Nova #23, She-Hulk #10, Spider-Verse #2, Superior Iron Man #1, and Thor #2. We then bring out our Fred for the "Bring Out Your Dead" segment, where we look at Walking Dead TPB #11 (Issues 61-66). Things get wrapped up with an interesting aeronautic twist on next week's books. Thanks for checking us out, we've been working hard on our gluts.
You'll want to pull this episode off the racks early and maybe even consider getting your hands on an extra copy or two, as its first appearance of "The Soundboard". Try to get your hands on the first edition episodes while they're still available to maximize your profits down the road. We start out by discussing the Wolverine Memorial Karaoke Jam, our twitter activity, the Musings of Geek Podcast network, Batman '66, and the historic ties between comics and professional wrestling. In this episode we play catch up, and look at 2 weeks of current books in a double-sized rapid fire review segment. For October 29, 2014, we look at Crossed Badlands #64, Batman Eternal #30, Black Science #10, Low #4, Saga #24, Southern Bastards #5, All New X-Men #33, Axis Carnage #1, Fantastic Four #12, Guardians of the Galaxy #20, Inhuman #7, NOVA #22, and Bunker #7.

We then steal listener questions from other podcasts (Musings of A Geek) so that we can try out our own listener feedback section. Graphic Novice welcomes "The Soundboard" to the cast in this key episode, grab as many copies as you can (and thanks a bunch for listening).
Episode 37 leads off with a wall-snake update, The Walking Dead season 5 premier, and a few discussion topics coming out of New York Comicon. Nickel and VF find themselves on opposite ends of a Civil War debate and tensions run high afterward. In a "Rapid-Fire Review" of the books from October 8, 2014, we discuss Sabrina #1, Crossed Badlands #63, War Stories #1, Batgirl #35, Batman #35, Batman Eternal #27, Jennifer Blood Born Again #3 (of 5), Ragnarok #2, Winterworld #3, '68 Homefront #2, Birthright #1, Black Science #9, Cutter #2, Sex Criminals #8, Wytches #1, Thief of Thieves #24, Amazing Spider-Man #7, Avengers #36, Avengers and the X-Men AXIS #1, Nightcrawler #7, Punisher #11, Rocket Raccoon #4, and Grimm Tales of Terror #4. The gang then fights through technical difficulties, cancelled guests, and vicous killer gerbils to bring you the "Bring Out Your Dead" segment on the 9th Trade Paperback of the Walking Dead (issues #49-54). We finish everything up with a look at what we'll be reading after October 15th delivers a new crop of comics for us all. Join us for what we are pretty sure is one of our top 37 issues so far.
Graphic Novice attempts to connect with a new demographic this episode, and as a result, our explicit rating gets a bit more explicit than usual. The big comic news of the day is DC raising the price of individual Batman issues to $4.99 during the upcoming Endgame arc. We spend a considerable amount of time talking about comic pricing, and a little bit of time discussing Wolverine's pre-mature death in Nightcrawler #7. In "Rapid-Fire Review" we look at Crossed Badlands #62, Batman Eternal #26, Detective Comics #35, Gotham Academy #1, Grayson #3, Cutter #1, Nailbiter #6, Peter Panzerfaust #21, Protectors Inc. #9, Alex + Ada #9, The Fade Out #2, Bucky Barnes: The Winter Soldier #1, Captain America #25, Death of Wolverine #3 (of 4), Moon Knight #8, Silver Surfer #6, Thor #1, Uncanny Avengers #25, X-Men #20, Sally of the Wasteland #3, and Armor Hunters Aftermath #1. After choosing our best and worst books of the week, Doc explains why he is abandoning the Plus/Minus system he proposed a few episodes back. We wrap things up with a quick look at the books we'll be checking out after their October 8, 2014 release date. A certain guest editor put this episode together after a night of drinking, so if it sounds a bit off, dont worry, we think our regular editor, VF, will take the reigns back after he hears it. Thanks for listening!
After management scolds the guys, co-host Nickel starts things out by pitching the most inappropriate but erotic contest in the podcast's short history. We try to go through all the shows on the Musings of a Geek Podcast Network and fail miserably (sorry shows that we missed). Marvel Fact Files, Scott Snyder's new upcoming series "Wytches", CGC (graded comic books) and the upcoming East of West One-Shot Encyclopedia/Atlas, all get some discussion (41 minutes worth) before we get to the bi-weekly Walking Dead Trade Paperback Disucssion where we look at TPB #5 (Issues 25-30). After discussing the gruesome events of the aforementioned Walking Dead books, we move on to the barely anticipated and unaptly named “Rapid-Fire Review” segment. The books on the list from August 13 include Crossed Badlands #59, Hexed #1, Batman #34, Batman Eternal #19, Birds of Prey #34, Harley Quinn #9, New Suicide Squad #2, My Little Pony Friendship is Magic #22, Sex Criminals #7, Starlight #5, All-New X-Men #30, Amazing Spiderman #5, Amazing X-Men #10, Captain America #23, Fantastic Four #8, Inhuman #3, Nightcrawler #5, Original Sin #7, Spider-Man 2099 #2, United States of Murder Inc. #4, Wolverine #11, Wolverine #11, Wolverine and the X-Men #7, X-Force #8, X-Men #18, Armor Hunters #3, and Thief of Thieves #23. After sharing their thoughts on all the books we quickly recap the best and worst choices for the week, and the ongoing plus/minus stats. As always, we look ahead to the following week's books (released August 20, 2014) before calling it a night just short of the 3-hour mark. Ironically, there was some discussion of cutting down to a 1-hour podcast prior to the show...
Two out of three ain't bad... Those of us who have seen The Guardians of the Galaxy were present this week, to discuss the movie, and take a quick look at this week in comics. Before we look at the week's books, we a few minutes to discuss the reason for our co-host Doc Thirst's absence, his love of Rocket Raccoon, the ongoings over at the Musings of a Geek podcast network, and our thoughts on "The Guardians of the Galaxy" movie. We then start the Rapid-Fire Review segment for books released on July 30, 2014 and talk about Crossed Badlands #58, Evil Empire #3, Batman Eternal #17, Harley Quinn #8, Black Science #7, East of West #14, Fatale #24, Fuse #6, Low #1, Outcast #2, Ten Grand #10, Avengers #33, Cyclops #3, Guardians of the Galaxy #17, Hawkeye #19, New Avengers #21, Uncanny X-Men #24, and X-Men #17. After selecting our favorite and least favorite books of the week, we look at the Graphic Novice scoring system to assess who is getting the most out of their pull list, then look ahead to the books being released on August 6, 2014.
The Graphic Novice Comic Book Podcast returns this week to talk about some things and stuff. That stuff includes a discussion of some comics from the previous week and the fourth Walking Dead trade paperback… eventually. Prior to our regular comic talk, however, we touch on The Crow, Desmond Hassing’s slighting of Nickel and the History of Bad Ideas Podcast, the great city of Chicago, monthly comic book sales for June 2014, the Overstreet Price Guide, and perhaps the greatest betrayal the Graphic novice team has ever faced. So that our regular guest Fred doesn’t have to endure 4 hours of recording, we start things off with our Walking Dead segment, covering issues #19-24. As always, we eventually do get to “Rapid-Fire Review” and discuss Crossed Badlands #57, Batman Eternal #15, Robin Rises Omega #1, My Little Pony Friendship is Magic #21, Manifest Destiny #8, The Wicked + The Divine #2, Dark Engine #1, All New X-Factor #11, Magneto #7, Nova #19, Original Sin #6 (of 8), She-Hulk #6, Silver Surfer #4, Uncanny X-Men #23, and X-Men #16. We finish things off with a look ahead to next week’s new releases. Don’t miss out on the podcast that Doc’s very own mother has finally moved into her top 50 podcasts list.
Doc, VF and Nickel all take a quick break from their jovial Canada Day celebrations to sit down and talk comics. The episode starts out with some hockey talk, tales from camping, and a quick Musings of a Geek podcast network update, before unrapidly proceeding to the inappropriately named "Rapid-Fire Review" segment. In this episode, the guys at Graphic Novice look at Crossed Badlands #56, All-Star Western #32, Batman #32, Batman Eternal #12, My Little Pony Friendship is Magic #20, Deadly Class #6, Fuse #5, Outcast #1, Peter Panzerfaust #19, Saga #20, Trees #2, Undertow #5, Amazing Spider-Man #3, Guardians of the Galaxy #16, New Avengers #20, Uncanny Avengers #21, Wolverine #9, and X-Force #6. Doc sneaks in a review of Revenge #1-4, and there is some brief discussions on Grayson #1, Image comics, and some uninformed but short debate on the future of single issue comics rightt before the guys look at the books coming out July 2 and say their goodbyes. Happy Canada Day and have a great 4th.
The great Ryan Browne joins us to talk about God Hates Astronauts #1 from Image and a whole bunch of other stuff, including Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt's The Sixth Gun from Oni Press, Jonathan Hickman and Nick Pitarra's The Manhattan Projects, Chew, Rob Schrab's Scud the Disposable Assassin, Silver Surfer, Ryan Stegman, Skottie Young, portfolio reviews, Andrew MacLean's Headlopper, Jeff Lemire, Matt Kindt, Tradd Moore, the Cohen Brothers, Original Sin, Mike Deodato, Trees #2 from Warren Ellis and Jason Howard, Garth Ennis and the Thin Red Line arc of Crossed: Badlands, Jim Rugg and Brian Maruca's Street Angel from AdHouse, Wolfhands by Nick Johnson and Justin Heggs, Southern Bastards and Jason Latour, Kirby's Devil Dinosaur, Wonder Woman, Baltimore: Chapel of Bones by Mike Mignola, Christopher Golden, Ben Stenbeck and Dave Stewart, Lane Milburn's Twelve Gems from Fantagraphics, SAGA, Star Wars: Rebel Heist by Matt Kindt and Marco Castiello, Ross Peacock, Outcast #1 and Paul Azaceta, T4, and a whole mess more!
We lead off with the trailer for our upcoming movie and show off the acting talents of our very own VF. Off air, Doc attempts to whip us into shape, demanding that we trim the fat and try to keep the show to under 2 hours... did we succeed... listen and find out. We try to make up for the short running time with our longest title to date. We spend a little bit less time talking about nothing before getting to our "Rapid-Fire Review Segment", where we discuss Crossed Badlands #55, Lumberjanes #3, Batman Eternal #10, Detective Comics #32, Justice League United #2, United States of Murder #2, Wraith Welcome To Christmasland #7, Manifest Destiny #7, Starlight #4, All-New X-Men #28, Amazing Spider-Man #1.2, Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu #2, Hulk #4, New Avengers #19, Nightcrawler #3, Original Sins #1, She-Hulk #5, Wolverine #8, Uncanny and the X-Men Special #1. Doc tells us about his trip to the Superman Festival in Metropolis Illinois, we read a letter from friend of the show Brian Kearns, and we wrap it all up by taking a look at the books being released on June 18. At various points throughout the show we mix is some Scott Summers discussion, talk about some DC bombshell covers, and Nickel polishes off an entire growler of non-alcoholic beer. We also prepare for next week's Walking Dead segment, and provide another helpful public service announcement about sex.
A week that include three number ones is sure to be interesting. We talk three new series that get off to good starts, a short and poor outing from Warren Ellis and more.

Who needs morality, anyhow?
What a week for comics, huh? Not only do we get the conclusion of Geoff John's epic Green Lantern run but we also have one of the best issues of the year from an extremely likely source. On top of all of that there are a slew of books including the beginning of a bouncy new hero, the continuation of one of the most intriguing series of the year (Mind MGMT) and many more. Fear not, dear listeners, as we are here to make sure you get caught up on what you may have missed or couldn't read in time. Oh, and apparently Joss Whedon and Bryan Singer want to see each others' penises, which is great entertainment for us.
