020 - Bring Out Your Dead

In this landmark 20th episode, the Graphic Novice team welcomes a guest host and doesnt let him talk.  After some random off-topic banter, we actually spend a solid portion of the show talking about comics.  The guys put their lack of knowledge on display when discussing random happenings surrounding the world of comics, before moving onto to the highly anticipated "Rapid-Fire Review" segment.  They quickly and efficiently fly through discussions on the first Afterlife with Archie Trade Paperback, Woods #2, Big Trouble in Little China #1, Batman Eternal #9, Green Lantern #32, Future's End #5, 68 Rule of War #3, Nailbiter #2, All-New X-Factor #9, Amazing X-Men #8, Amazing X-Men Annual #1, Black Widow #7, Captain America #21, Cyclops #2, Iron Fist The Living Weapon #3, Magneto #5, Moon Knight #4, and Original Sin #3.  After an hour and a half, Doc, Nickel, and VF let their guest host have some air time, and ask him about the five suggested comics he agreed to read for the show, and get a non-comic book enthusiasts opinions on the books. The guys then embark on a new segment, "Bring Out Your Dead", where they attempt to catch up to the current run of The Walking Dead by reading a Trade Paperback every second week, and discuss their impressions and opinions of the books.  As always, things are wrapped up with a look at the next week in new releases.  Nickel also begins his court mandated Public Service Announcement campaign, with a short message about role models.
