After months of teasing this tribute episode we finally managed to get a bunch of our friends together to pay our final respects to The Wolverine, following his tragic comic book death this past October. Through a great deal of soul searching, and meditative contemplation, we realized that there was only one way to properly honor one of Marvel’s most iconic superheroes, and that ofcourse, would be through song. Here at Graphic Novice, we’re not particularly good at getting facts correct, or even speaking in a coherent and engaging fashion, so we knew that a simple spotlight episode from us just wouldn’t have the impact something like this deserved.  Instead, we thought we might be able to trick some of our podcasting friends into recording off-key parody karaoke songs as a podcast memorial.  Somehow, the devious plan worked, and here it is…  Graphic Novice and Friends’ Wolverine Memorial Karaoke Jam. In this heartfelt tribute we take a brief but poignant look at the life and times of James “Logan” Howlett, combining a discussion of historical Wolverine stories, and mix in some emotional tribute songs from some of our favorite podcasters.  If you can put up with our banter long enough, you’ll eventually hear Neil C. (Dark Angels and Pretty Freaks), VF (Graphic Novice), Ryan Beagley (Green Up), Nickel (Graphic Novice), Michael Leal (Who The What Now), Jeffrey Nau (The History of Bad Ideas) and Henno (Angela’s Awesome Podcast).

  Episode 27 begins with a discussion of intoxication as Nickel shuns his podcasting responsibilities after overindulging at a bachelor party.  We use this opportunity to critically analyze drinking habits, and try and get a rise out of our podcast nemeses who have yet to acknowledge (or discover) our existence. After spending sufficient time on the topic of alcoholism, we touch on VF's last camping trip and move somewhat promptly (for Graphic Novice) into comic book news.  As we were not invited to, or acknowledged by Comicon, we go full-on sour grapes and tell you why as a comic book fan, you don't need to go. We then display our lack of knowledge regarding the Eisners, discuss some of the winners, and sneak in some accidental banter on equality in comics. Something we're marginally more qualified to talk about, might be the books that came out the previous week, and we do just that during a segment we like to call, "Rapid-Fire Review".  This week we discuss Afterlife With Archie #6, All-Star Western #33, Batman #33, Batman And Robin #33, Batman Eternal #16, Red Lanterns #33, Ragnarok #1, Supreme Blue Rose #1, Saga #21, Trees #3, Undertow #6 (Of 6), Velvet #6, Amazing Spider-Man #4, Original Sin #5.2, Storm #1, Wolverine And The X-Men #6, Armor Hunters #1 and #2 (of 4).  As always we pick our best and worst of the week, and review Doc's scoring system, which reveals once again, that Nickel picks the best books.  We wrap things up with a look at the books coming out July 30, and some administrative issues.  We hope you enjoy what could be our final episode (it also might not be).

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.

When our listeners complained to us about the length of each episode, we paid attention... and decided to record our longest episode yet.  Other podcasts stick to a schedule, and try to cram everything into an hour.  Here at Graphic Novice we take pride in the fact that a single episode is all you need to keep you company for a 200 mile drive to the in-laws.  In this episode we take a little bit of time to reveal the inner workings and politics of the Musings of a Geek Podcast Network.  After touching on a few comic book related topics and some hockey talk, we tackle a double shot of "Rapid-Fire Review" and discuss Batman Eternal #7, Birds of Prey #31, Harley Quinn #6, Future's End #3, East of West #12, Undertow #4, Saga #19, Velvet #5, All-New X-Factor #8, Amazing Spider-Man #2, Amazing #7, Daredevil #3, Hulk #3, Magneto #4, Nova #17, Original Sin #2, Uncanny X-Men #21, Wolverine and the X-Men #2, X-Men #14, Bunker #4, All-Star Western #31, Batman Eternal #8, Guardians of the Galaxy #15, Inhuman #2, Uncanny Avengers #20, Winter Soldier #4, Wolverine #7, Dead Body Road #6, Deadly Class #4, Fuse #4, Southern Bastards #2, Thief of Thieves #21, and Trees #1.  We wrap everything up with a tidy little bow just a hair under the three hour mark, with a quick look at next week's books, and our plans for the next episode.
