Nickel & VF discuss their absence, and spend the majority of the podcast not talking about comics... but sort of talking about comics. Bumpers are once again rolled.

December 14, 2016 08:32 - 2 hours - 69.2 MBJoin Nickel & The Velvet Fog for one of the final episodes of the Graphic Novice Comic Book Podcast. The audio quality is a bit of a throwback to our earlier podcasts, as Nickel's internet connection is a bit spotty. In the "bullshit" segment, the fellows discuss bowel movements, bidets, future guest appearances, the Floppy Awards, and general on-goings since the last recording. "Comic News" is packed with comic news, but nothing all that newsworthy. A lot more time Tune in to see if ...

094 - The Death of Graphic Novice - Part 5 of 10
October 24, 2016 04:21 - 3 hours - 107 MBThe Swan Song continues as we reach the half way point of our grand finale. VF & Nickel spend a awful lot of time talking about nothing (including fellow podcaster Jason Brigger's castration, some wedding planning updates and VF's cathouse). After an hour of literally talking about nothing, comic news is extremely x-men heavy, with Death of X discussion, a look towards future releases, X-Men vs. Inhumans, & ResurrXion.

080 - The Graphic Novice Holiday Unspectacular
December 27, 2015 09:48 - 52 minutes - 30.2 MBIf one of the hosts of the show wasn't intoxicated throughout the entire Holiday season, this would have been a pre-Christmas release, but instead, we kept this special episode on the back burner until Boxing Day had passed.

After experiencing a 30-minute delay, you'll find the our podcast in the "After Hours" time slot this week, where sensual massages, and the art of dual hand release are both fair game on the table of discussion.

077 - Happy Little Trees
November 21, 2015 01:08 - 1 hour - 67.3 MBThis week on the Graphic Novice Comic Book Podcast we tip our hats to Bob Ross and paint some happy little trees... metaphorically speaking.

During the "General Banter" segment, after Nickel's microphone tries to ruin the podcast, the final episode of the show (episode 100) is discussed, the last episode of The Walking Dead, the guys toss around ideas for a new segment, probiotic gut bacteria, bidets, the invitation to present a "Floppy Award" fo...
074 - Comics, Politics & Threesomes
October 25, 2015 09:16 - 2 hours - 71.9 MBGraphic Novice records during the monumental Canadian Federal Election, and get a little sidetracked talking about politics north and south of the wall, after deciding that our listening audience wasn't quite bored enough with our regular programming. In an attempt to spice things up, we sprinkle in a little bit of threesome talk, which transitions nicely into a discussion about Denny's, which transitions nicely into a discussion about chickens. With the "Intro Banter" out of the way, we de...
073 - The Wrath of Cons: Life After The RCCC
October 19, 2015 09:19 - 3 hours - 103 MBThe Graphic Novice Comic Book Podcast returns after getting our chakras re-aligned, and spends 3 hours catching up. Our apologies to fans of both "Rapid-Fire Review" and the Fantastic Four centric "Back Issue Review", as this week's episode is an exercise in self-indulgence. VF & Nickel spend the majority of this episode discussing Rose City Comiccon in Portland, Oregon, Michael Leal as the "Little Spoon", hanging out with the Beagleys, The Edmonton Comic Expo, and Metal Roofing. This epis...
072.2 - Random Jams with VF, Doc Thirst & Fred

October 13, 2015 06:57 - 52 minutes - 72.5 MBVF, Doc Thirst and Fred bring back the Walking Dead segment after a month with no Graphic Novice recordings. Its still a Graphic Novice episode though, so the guys avoid talking about the title content for as long as possible before digging into The Walking Dead - Volume 17 (issues 97-102), which, obviously, includes the controversial 100th issue. WARNING: Contains substantial board game conversation.
072 - The Road to Rose City
September 16, 2015 08:47 - 2 hours - 79.6 MBThe least informed comic book podcast returns the week before the much anticipated 2015 Rose City Comicon in Portland Oregon.

069 - Jazzed
August 05, 2015 06:38 - 2 hours - 74.9 MBYour Graphic Novice hosts are far too mature to address the connotations related to the number of this episode (because we're saving that for episode 69.1). While we still consider ourselves a comic book podcast, it always seems to take a while before we get to comics and this week's episode is no exception. Nickel's cabin restoration continues, we are once again forced to address moon wars, and various podcast feuds that we have going on, and on a more serious note, Mrs. VF pays a visit to...

July 12, 2015 20:56 - 2 hours - 118 MBKick off your shoes, get comfortable and get ready for almost 3 hours of the Graphic Novice Comic Book Podcast. The opening segment takes up roughly an hour, as VF & Nickel catch up and discuss the Graphic Novice T-Shirt campaign, cabin renovations, July 4th, gun control and fireworks. After the non-comic related banter comes to an end, the "Comic News" segment focuses entirely on a run down of all the books scheduled for release or relaunch following the end of Marvel's "Secret Wars" even...
066 - One Flew Under The Chicken Coop
June 30, 2015 08:42 - 1 hour - 79.1 MBAfter a week off, Graphic Novice returns to discuss Nickel's appearances on other podcasts (Gotham Lights, The Stranger Conversations, The History of Bad Ideas), as well as VF's glorious chicken coop, Graphic Novice merchandise, and a few other off-topic topics. After getting a few kinks worked out of the show, we finally move things along to our review of new comics released June 10, 2015, including: Crossed Plus 100 #5, Lantern City #2, Batman #41, Detective Comics #41, Gotham Academy #7,...

June 18, 2015 03:47 - 1 hour - 67.2 MBGraphic Novice returns this week for their 65th episode with hosts VF & Nickel attempting to get caught up by reviewing 2 weeks of new comics. Slaves to the show format, we refuse to skip right to any sort of comic book banter, but instead spend the first 40 minutes or so discussing birthdays, long haul truckin', ladybugs, bee-keeping, podcasting responsibilities and our relaxed summer recording schedule. Comic news almost gets skipped over completely, before VF sneaks in a quick discussion...
064 - Convergence & The DC Universe (with Michael Leal)
June 08, 2015 08:09 - 2 hours - 103 MBThe Beatles wrote a song just for this occassion... We're Sixty-Four! Michael Leal of the "Who The What Now" Podcast and Danger Entertainment helps us ring in our sixty fourth episode, which we almost dedicate to the end of DC Comics' "Convergence" event. But... It wouldn't be Graphic Novice if we didn't delay the discussion of comics, in favor of some weekly off-topic banter. After getting all the network plugs out of the way, we get an update from VF farms, check in with Michael's man...
063 - Moon Wars Aint Easy
May 29, 2015 07:46 - 2 hours - 75.9 MBBack in the studio after the landmark "Guide to Secret Wars" episode, VF and Nickel spend some much needed alone time with one another. As is often the case, it takes a little while before the topic of discussion finally gets around to comics (40 minutes to be exact). Off-topic banter includes an update on Nickel's cabin acquisition, The Salty Language Podcast attempting to deflate Graphic Novice's Moon War victory, Doc Thirst's disdain for his fans, podcast listening habits, the weathe...
062.1 - A Graphic Novice Guide to Marvel's Secret Wars

Throughout the episode, we take a look at the history of Secret Wars, try to figure out how it will end, and eventually work through the giant list of new titles Marvel will release as part of the event. To the surprise of no one, things tend to veer off-topic occassionally, but if you're looking for information to help you navigate the muddied waters of Marvel's Secret Wars e...
062 – Battleworld: VF vs. Nickel
May 14, 2015 07:32 - 2 hours - 73 MBEverything starts out nice and civil as VF and Nickel discuss Mother's Day, marriage, regional differences in Canada, Rose City Comic Con, meeting new people, fear of financing, mortgages, and the cabin financing until things get a little heated during a debate of the merits of Marvel's Secret Wars Event. VF is really optimistic and positive about Secret Wars after the first book, Nickel decides to rant incoherently on the negative side. In a nonsensical tirade, Nickel insults Stan Lee and...
