After exactly 31 minutes of talking about the music of our past, a Joanne from VF's past, pressing episode 50 to vinyl, hockey, and the old workplace grind, we finally get to our debut of the "Comic News" bumper, featuring a notable increase in "Creed". We try to avoid talking about Marvel's upcoming "Secret Wars" by discussing the trailer for the new Fantastic Four movie being released in the spring of 2015.  But, much like moths to a porch light, we eventually get back Secret Wars, but attempt to put a slightly more positive spin on it, as compared to last episode.


In our review of the comics we read over the past week (a segment we like to call, "Rapid-Fire Review) we look at Crossed + One Hundred #2, Burning Fields #1, Batman Eternal #42, Batman And Robin #38, Teen Titans #6, Tooth & Claw #3, Rumble #2, Spread #5, Wicked + The Divine #7, All-New X-Factor #20, All-New X-Men #35, Amazing Spider-Man #13, Fantastic Four #642, and Superior Iron-Man #4.


In a very special surprise segment, we catch Green Up's Ryan Beagley on the road to discuss his latest podcast, and give him a chance to pay us compliments.


As always, we wrap things up with a look towards the books about to be released (January 28, 2015). Its a long and often completely off-topic episode of Graphic Novice...  just like all the other episodes of Graphic Novice. Thanks for listening!
