034 - Chicks, Drugs, Free Tacos and Gotham

Our dear, dear friend Chip Zdarsky (Sex Criminals co-creator) leads us into this landmark 34th episode of the Graphic Novice Comic Book episode.  After VF brags about his peak physical conditioning, and a quick off-topic discussion of Nickel's time as a pro-gamer, we explain how Graphic Novice became a part of the international press corp.  This episode leads us into all the excitement of the Edmonton Comic and Entertainment Expo.  In comic news, we discuss our thoughts on the premiere of Gotham, the scratch and sniff Harley Quinn cover, InStockTrades, Batman Unwrapped, and Nickel's drunken ebay purchase of the week.  The newly revamped "Rapid-Fire Review" segment includes a discussion of Batman Eternal #25, Deadly Class #7, Trees #5, Avengers #35, Uncanny X-Men #26, and Wolverine and the X-Men #9. We wrap things up with a look at the August sales figures, and list some of the books we'll be reading after the September 24, 2014 new comic book day comes and goes.  Out of all the podcast episodes that Graphic Novice is going to release in the next couple days, this might very well be our favorite.  Thanks a bunch for taking the time to listen.
