Today on the show we have special guest and fellow Houstonian, Ryan Burton on to talk about his new Image book, Dark Engine! We discuss our favorite books of the week, tell a LOT of funny stories, and of course go over this week’s Movie & TV news! Don’t miss this one! We’re also reminding...Read more →

  Things get started out with Doc and VF’s attempt to get to the bottom of Nickel’s curious twitter activity leading up to Episode 30. Grease-stained pants almost bring an end to a 7-year relationship, Doc goes camping, and VF discovers the internets and re-kindles his love of He-Man, and after all that gets discussed in detail, we eventually discuss comics.  If you want to know why Graphic Novice never has guests from the comic book industry, listen to the comic news segment preceding Rapid-Fire Review.     After alienating more listeners and potential listeners, the guys discuss Batman and Robin 34, Batman Eternal #20, Teen Titans #2, Dark Engine #2, The Fade Out #1, Manifest Destiny #9, Peter Panzerfaust #20, Protectors Inc. #8, Supreme Blue Rose #2, Trees #4, The Wicked + The Divine #3, All-New X-Factor #12, Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu #4, Magneto #8, New Avengers #23, Nova #20, Storm #2, and Grimm Fairly Tales Presents Robyn Hood #1.   The rest of the show segments get postponed due to time, and Doc promises to add some articles to the GraphicNovice.com website. The show wraps up with a summary of the books we’ll be reading from the August 27, 2014 release date.  We get in under 2.5 hours in what might be our last episode prior to some sweeping format changes.  Spoiler: We’re not actually going to change anything.

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.
