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).

Jordan's defense against the Human Torch controversy, and more news items from the world of funny books, before moving onto their books for the week including: Warren Ellis' debut issue of Moon Knight, Greg Rucka's new horror mystery Veil, Jason Latour's relaunch of Wolverine And The X-Men, and more!
