061 - Bananas (featuring Gwen Stefani)

May 08, 2015 09:41 - 1 hour - 52.7 MB

The Graphic Novice Comic Book Podcast is back for the second time this week, because we figured you just couldn’t get enough of us…  then we realized that yes, yes you can get enough of us…  but we decided to release this episode anyway.  Before we get to comics, we talk about Hollaback Girls, friend of the show Gwen Stefani, fatherly dating advice and Doc Thirst, VF’s new mattress, pillows, Nickel’s crowdfunding initiative for a new grill, our new staff writer Desmond Hassing, Salty Languag...

060.1 - Free Comic Book Day (with Annaleis Cetrangolo & Michael Leal)

WTWN v. DAPF v. GN: Dawn of The Who The Dark Graphic Freak Now.    VF and Nickel get together with a couple of their favorite podcasters, Annaleis (@wiretechgirl) from The Dark Angels and Pretty Freaks Podcast and Michael Leal (@michael_leal) from Who The What Now to share tales of Free Comic Book Days Past and Present.  Before we get to Free Comic Book Day, we take everyone down the rabbit hole with us and discuss parenting other people’s children, Tenacious D heading north of the wall, ...

060 - Sixty For Sixty

April 28, 2015 07:43 - 1 hour - 42.1 MB

To celebrate the 60th episode of Graphic Novice, Nickel and VF attempt to record a 60-minute episode, and it almost happened.  An abbreviated "Banter" segment touches on our new website staff reporter, VF's new mattress, a Doc Thirst update, and Nickel's issues with the craft beer scene. The comic news segment takes a quick look ahead to Free Comic Book Day 2015 (Saturday May 2, 2015), including some shopping tips and free book suggestions.  We address the Eisners, but postpone our in depth...

059 - Fiddler On The Roof

April 20, 2015 08:44 - 2 hours - 93.3 MB

Nickel and VF (aka Benjamin) return for another episode, ready to take a shot at recording a 60-minute episode.  And, they fail miserably.  Instead, you get 160 minutes worth of stories about VF's roof, purchasing a cabin, thoughts on the Edmonton Oilers winning the NHL draft lottery, new comics versus back issues, digital comic sales as well as the superman v. batman and star wars trailers, and some discussion of March comics sales...  and then some actual comic discussion. In the aptly na...

058 - Nickel Hates Daredevil

April 13, 2015 07:54 - 2 hours - 88.3 MB

Ben (VF) makes his triumphant return after a week away from the podcast with jungle flu, and has some comments on last week's episode with Desmond Hassing (from the Slackademia and Musings of a Geek podcast) and Jason Brigger (from the Musings of a Geek podcast).  The pre-recording plans were to get to the comics quickly and efficiently to keep this week's episode as close to 60 minutes as possible...  and sadly, this might be as close as it gets… so instead of sticking with the plan, the fi...

057 - The Graphic Musings of Bad Ideas

April 06, 2015 09:33 - 2 hours - 81.2 MB

Left to his own devices due to VF's debilitating cold, Nickel invites Desmond Hassing (from The Musings of a Geek Podcast) and Jason Brigger (from the History of Bad Ideas Podcast) to join him for a discussion that lasts far too long to be presented as one podcast episode, but is presented here as one none the less.

056 - Breaking Up Is Hard

April 01, 2015 19:46 - 1 hour - 63.7 MB

The Graphic Novice Comic Book Podcast returns for another week.  After announcing a new 60-minute format change proposal, we changed nothing, and to the surprise of noone, we didnt mangage to cut any time off the podcast.  We spend the non-comic book portion of the show talking about past break-ups, sleeping habits, sneaking back home after a night of drinking and a plethora of other self-indulgent subject matter before moving on to our focus content, comic books. Comic news includes a cutti...

055 - Change The Cover: The Batgirl Variant Cover Controversy

March 25, 2015 08:07 - 2 hours - 76.4 MB

Two-thirds of the original cast returns for episode number “double nickel” where VF reveals a major secret in the first couple minutes of the show.  After VF is done blowing minds, we remember the magic of Ultima Online, we discuss Nickel’s work commitments, fonts, PowerPoint, VF’s roof, podcast networks, podcaster vacations, hot tubs, and winter road conditions.    A trippy new bumper kicks off the "Comic News" segment, where VF stalls as long as he can with news of Greg Capullo’s origin...

054 - Graphic Novice Minus One

March 18, 2015 07:07 - 2 hours - 77.3 MB

Its just VF & Nickel in this landmark episode of Graphic Novice. The opening banter touches on some of the other podcasts Nickel may or may not be showing up on, technical and non-technical issues on the Gotham Knights podcast, VF's thoughts on Gotham thus far, VF's texting etiquette, The Angry Ginger's ability to keep Nickel on topic during the Better Call Saul podcast, and eventually... the elephant in the room that is the absence of Doc Thirst, and the seed of an idea that could one day b...

053 - Doc's Last Pull

March 05, 2015 07:56 - 1 hour - 50.8 MB

  The pre-comics conversation focuses mainly on Doc Thirst's emotional breakup with his comic shop, as the Graphic Novice team guts out a 53rd episode with VF half in the bag on cold medicine.   The "Rapid-Fire Review" segment reviews some of the books released February 18, 2015, including Crossed Badlands #72, Burning Fields #2, Plunder #1, Batgirl #39, Batman Eternal #46, Teen Titans #7, Tooth and Claw #4, Bitch Planet #3, Deadly Class #11, Lazarus #15, Manifest Destiny #13, Secret Iden...

052 - Coffee and Comics Round Two

February 24, 2015 09:02 - 2 hours - 82.4 MB

Its the end of the Spider-Verse event and Nickel, VF, and Francois are all back for another episode, despite having to squeeze this episode in on early a Saturday morning (and by squeezing the episode in, we mean its less than 2.5 hours).  Some brief coffee discussion, turns into a discussion of fast food, which then turns into a discussion of McDonald's, which then turns into a discussion of nickel's new bodybuilding career, which then turns into a discussion of doc's flimsy knees. The con...

051 - Sausage Biscuits and Spidey

February 17, 2015 21:58 - 2 hours - 70.9 MB

After wrapping up the 50th episode of Graphic Novice, the guys muster up the strength for at least one more episode. Before discussiing anything comic-related, the guys talk about Nickel's other podcasts, Doc's hockey career, a highly anticipated update on VF's struggles with convenience store sausage biscuits, Frankencastle, conservative Spider-Woman and keychain bottle openers. A quick discussion of the Spider-Man movie rights smoothly transitions things over to the comic book part of the...

050 - Fifty Episodes of Podcasting Ecstasy & Some Cake Too

February 09, 2015 05:13 - 2 hours - 76.6 MB

A celebration of 50 episodes, and well over 100 hours of podcasting together, we start out the show with a slightly self-indulgent look at where we're at as a podcast. Nickel bought himself a congratulatory cake and some Smaug Stout for a one-man celebration, and doesn't shut up after the stout kicks in. The guys talk about Doc's march to the National Hockey League, his troubles at the local comic shop, and then deal with the listener feedback mailbag. In "Rapid-Fire Review" the guys discu...

049 - The Graphic Novice Classic Rock Hour

February 03, 2015 04:56 - 2 hours - 89.3 MB

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 att...

048 - Secret Wars: The End of The World

January 27, 2015 00:14 - 1 hour - 59.3 MB

Graphic Novice records this very special episode in the wake of the big Secret Wars announcement from the New York City ComicCom.  The majority of the episode is spent discussing Secret Wars, but we also reach out to listener "David", provide some weight loss tips, look ahead to Nickel's pending weekend of debauchery, and thank Brian for our Musings of a Geek Secret Santa gift.  After a never-ending discussion of Secret Wars, we move onto some reviews of the books released January 14, 2015. ...

January 26, 2015 23:53 - 38 minutes - 22 MB

047 - Nobody Likes Star Wars

January 17, 2015 23:54 - 2 hours - 125 MB

Two key members of the team are notably absent this week (for reasons we cant disclose) VF and the Soundboard.  Nickel and Doc use this opportunity to take some deserved shots at VF and sneak in some hockey talk at the beginning of the show. We talk about dropping coins in a urinal, the hype surrounding Marvel's Star Wars #1, and our Top 5 Horror Genre comics, before discussing what we read during the previous week.  "Rapid-Fire Review focuses comics released on January 7, 2015, and we spen...

046 - Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls

January 11, 2015 00:13 - 2 hours - 93.2 MB

After going off the grid for the final month of 2014, this episode marks the less than triumphant return of the Graphic Novice Comic Book Podcast.  We try out a few more format changes, discuss the holidays, and pack in a ton of listener questions, a Walking Dead Trade review, 3 weeks worth of book summaries, and a look at the new and noteworthy from the upcoming week. we go over issues #73-78 of the Walking Dead with "Sometimes Fred" before an abbreviated "Rapid-Fire Review" segment. We spe...

045 - VF Loves Spider-Boobs

December 22, 2014 09:03 - 2 hours - 74.6 MB

Get ready for the holidays by spending some time with your good friends here at Graphic Novice.  This pre-holiday special starts out with a discussion of the Doc Thirst's four day work week, Canadian Christmas, embellishment fines in the NHL, Twitch TV, Creed front-man Scott Stapp as a CIA agent, iTunes reviews, and a possible hangover day proposal.    In comic book news, the guys look at the DC movie poster themed variant covers, Loot crate, Marvel and DC series coming to an end, and pro...

044 - Doc Thirst Has Slain The Lynch King

December 15, 2014 09:50 - 2 hours - 72.6 MB

  We start out by providing some outtakes for the blooper reel, as VF proves that the fate of the podcast lies with the person who controls the soundboard. We talk the perils of alcoholism, blues jams at work, and another discussion of the World of Warcraft, where we get to celebrate a once in a lifetime gaming achievement in the life of Doc Thirst. Once the show gets back on track, we lay down some crack reporting in the "Comic News" segment, and touch on the new Star Wars comic, Jeremy Ir...

043 - This Is Not The Final Episode of Graphic Novice

December 06, 2014 20:40 - 2 hours - 91.3 MB

Graphic Novice records on a day of contraversy after VF mysteriously announces the end of the podcast.  Nickel is taken along for the ride with the rest of the twitterverse, and starts planning his podcasting life after Graphic Novice, while Doc Thirst went goes on with his life, completely unaware of anything announced on twitter.  However, despite the ongoing turmoil in the graphic Novice studios, we are happy to announce that this will not be our final episode.  Once that's cleared up, w...

042 - Welcome To Dollywood, Now With More Lasers

November 25, 2014 08:47 - 2 hours - 88.2 MB

This week, Graphic Novice pays homage to Dolly Parton Wednesdays, and celebrates one of country music's all-time sweethearts off the top of the show.  We continue our exploration of the female form with a look at newsworthy women in comics this week, including a Wonder Woman makeover, and a controversial Spider-Woman cover image.  After discussing an intellectual look at Spider-Woman's physique, we debate the various reactions to scantily clad females in comics.  A quick review of Marvel's A...

041 - Life After The Wolverine Memorial Karaoke Jam

November 16, 2014 23:25 - 2 hours - 90.2 MB

  You'll want to pull this episode off the racks early and maybe even consider getting your hands on an extra copy or two, as its first appearance of "The Soundboard".  Try to get your hands on the first edition episodes while they're still available to maximize your profits down the road.   We start out by discussing the Wolverine Memorial Karaoke Jam, our twitter activity, the Musings of Geek Podcast network, Batman '66, and the historic ties between comics and professional wrestling. ...

040 - The Wolverine Memorial Karaoke Jam

November 11, 2014 01:13 - 2 hours - 103 MB

After months of teasing this tribute episode we finally managed to get a bunch of our friends together to pay our final respects to The Wolverine, following his tragic comic book death this past October. Through a great deal of soul searching, and meditative contemplation, we realized that there was only one way to properly honor one of Marvel’s most iconic superheroes, and that ofcourse, would be through song. Here at Graphic Novice, we’re not particularly good at getting facts correct, o...

039 - Amazing Girl and Her Amazing Friends (ft. Michael Leal)

November 03, 2014 08:58 - 2 hours - 86.9 MB

Graphic Novice welcomes Michael Leal from the "Who The What Now?!" podcast, to talk about a plethora of comic news, including some of the pending comic book movies, The Wolverine Memorial Karaoke Jam, MIchael's creator-owned comic book, "Curse of the Vessel", and ofcourse, Doc Thirst's upcoming book, "Amazing Girl and Her Amazing Friends".  In "Rapid Fire Review" (for October 22, 2014) we look at the 2014 Crossed Special, Arkham Manor #1, Batman Eternal #29, Harley Quinn #11, Lazarus #12, Th...

038 - Infinite Renumbering Crisis

October 26, 2014 20:06 - 1 hour - 121 MB

In this, our 38th episode, we start out with all the familiar off-topic banter, including some podcast network discussion and the potential for an indie comic review special.  One of our co-hosts spends the majority of the episode offline, and we discuss a serious lack of karaoke tracks for the Wolverine Memorial Bad Karaoke Jam. The majority of our comic news session revolves around re-numbering, the increasing price of comics, and various event related conspiracies.  In our "Rapid Fire Re...

037 - Falling off the Dragon

October 21, 2014 07:37 - 2 hours - 82.6 MB

Episode 37 leads off with a wall-snake update, The Walking Dead season 5 premier, and a few discussion topics coming out of New York Comicon.  Nickel and VF find themselves on opposite ends of a Civil War debate and tensions run high afterward.  In a "Rapid-Fire Review" of the books from October 8, 2014, we discuss Sabrina #1, Crossed Badlands #63, War Stories #1, Batgirl #35, Batman #35, Batman Eternal #27, Jennifer Blood Born Again #3 (of 5), Ragnarok #2, Winterworld #3, '68 Homefront #2, ...

036 - Gangsta Novice and the Economics of 5-Dollar Comics

October 12, 2014 08:43 - 1 hour - 80.3 MB

Graphic Novice attempts to connect with a new demographic this episode, and as a result, our explicit rating gets a bit more explicit than usual.  The big comic news of the day is DC raising the price of individual Batman issues to $4.99 during the upcoming Endgame arc.  We spend a considerable amount of time talking about comic pricing, and a little bit of time discussing Wolverine's pre-mature death in Nightcrawler #7.  In "Rapid-Fire Review" we look at Crossed Badlands #62, Batman Etern...

035 - Doc's House of Snakes (ft. DAPF's Neil C.)

October 08, 2014 03:10 - 2 hours - 70.5 MB

A jam packed episode, in which Graphic Novice welcomes Neil Cetrangolo from the Dark Angels and Pretty Freaks podcast to help review and discuss the 8th Walking Dead Trade Paperback.  The intro banter includes a disucssion of Doc Thirst's reputation, his drinking habits, the nasty snakes that live in the walls of his home, and the world's comfort level with VF's naked body.  Prior to the big Walking Dead segment, we once again take a look at the books we read the previous week (September 17,...

034.1 - The Edmonton Comic and Entertainment Expo Special

October 03, 2014 08:51 - 1 hour - 49.8 MB

This special episode features Doc, VF and Nickel discussing Nickel's first time at a comic conference, the 2014 Edmonton Comic and Entertainment Expo. The guys discuss media accrediation, the venue, parking, Alice Cooper, the Image Comics artists panel (featuring Chip Zdarsky, Nat Jones, and Vic Malhotra), cosplay, and walking the floor at a con. An unpolished, unplanned episode that fits in perfectly between landmark episodes 34 and 35. Shorter in length, but longer in Nickel.

034 - Chicks, Drugs, Free Tacos and Gotham

September 29, 2014 08:05 - 1 hour - 70.6 MB

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 Go...

033 - Bronyless: The End of the Pony Trail

September 25, 2014 00:10 - 1 hour - 77.8 MB

All three hosts are back together again and we kick things off with some tantalizing discussion of flying beer-can-related injuries, the end of the infamous My Little Pony wager, Nickel's absence, Spiderman and the X-men, and VF at the Memphis Comic Expo.  Moving on to "Comic News", the guys share a few thoughts on the rumors of a Marvel re-boot and the upcoming end of Matt Fraction's Hawkeye series.  In this week's "Bring Out the Dead" segment, everyone's favorite Graphic Novice "suit" Fred...

032 - Wolverine Is Still Dying

September 14, 2014 23:38 - 1 hour - 71.6 MB

Things get switched around this week, as the guys abandon the theme song, the confines of the podcast's structure and format, and one of their co-hosts.  Our Equestria correspondent, Brunellus, stops by at the beginning of the show, to talk about My Little Pony, She-Hulk, and Snowpiercer, before the guys slip into a more laid back and less structured discussion of the books released on September 3, 2014.  They focus their attention on Nailbiter #5, Southern Bastards #4, Death of Wolverine #1...

031 - That Time The Governor Lost Something

September 06, 2014 23:59 - 2 hours - 82.2 MB

  In Episode 31 of the Graphic Novice Comic Book Podcast we start things off by revealing the parties responsible for hacking iCloud and releasing all the celebrity photos onto the internet.  We spend some time discussing Nickel and VF’s guest appearance on the Green Up podcast, Doc’s troubles with international travel, the Marvel anti-bullying variant covers, and a lengthy and invaluable segment on investing in comic books.   We then move on to "Bringing out the Dead", and look at the 6t...

030 – Graphic Novice Loves Doctor Who?

August 30, 2014 21:34 - 2 hours - 82 MB

  Things get started out with Doc and VF’s attempt to get to the bottom of Nickel’s curious twitter activity leading up to Episode 30. Grease-stained pants almost bring an end to a 7-year relationship, Doc goes camping, and VF discovers the internets and re-kindles his love of He-Man, and after all that gets discussed in detail, we eventually discuss comics.  If you want to know why Graphic Novice never has guests from the comic book industry, listen to the comic news segment preceding Rapi...

029 - Wolverine, Wendigos, Wytches, and Woodbury

August 23, 2014 17:01 - 2 hours - 92 MB

  After management scolds the guys, co-host Nickel starts things out by pitching the most inappropriate but erotic contest in the podcast's short history.  We try to go through all the shows on the Musings of a Geek Podcast Network and fail miserably (sorry shows that we missed).  Marvel Fact Files, Scott Snyder's new upcoming series "Wytches", CGC (graded comic books) and the upcoming East of West One-Shot Encyclopedia/Atlas, all get some discussion (41 minutes worth) before we get to the ...

028 - Colorado, Canada, and Cold-Hearted Comic Book Critics

August 16, 2014 07:48 - 2 hours - 79.8 MB

  Do Snitches Get Stitches? Looks like they do, as Doc Thirst gets shanked in the drunk tank during his week off.  This episode starts out with our two world travellers discussing their adventures, as we discuss the folk music festival in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and a couple of the larger comic shops in Colorado.  Comic news gets skipped over, and we jump right into our inappropriately named "Rapid-Fire Review", and discuss Big Trouble in Little China #3, The Woods #4, Batman Eternal #18...

027.5 - Docless: Guardians of the Galaxy Movie Discussion and More

August 11, 2014 19:00 - 1 hour - 76.4 MB

Two out of three ain't bad...  Those of us who have seen The Guardians of the Galaxy were present this week, to discuss the movie, and take a quick look at this week in comics.  Before we look at the week's books, we a few minutes to discuss the reason for our co-host Doc Thirst's absence, his love of Rocket Raccoon, the ongoings over at the Musings of a Geek podcast network, and our thoughts on "The Guardians of the Galaxy" movie.  We then start the Rapid-Fire Review segment for books relea...

027 - Livers Can Be Superheroes Too

August 04, 2014 08:52 - 2 hours - 68.7 MB

  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 i...

026 - Bringing Out The Fred

July 28, 2014 11:44 - 2 hours - 91.5 MB

The Graphic Novice Comic Book Podcast returns this week to talk about some things and stuff. That stuff includes a discussion of some comics from the previous week and the fourth Walking Dead trade paperback… eventually.  Prior to our regular comic talk, however, we touch on The Crow, Desmond Hassing’s slighting of Nickel and the History of Bad Ideas Podcast, the great city of Chicago, monthly comic book sales for June 2014, the Overstreet Price Guide, and perhaps the greatest betrayal the G...

025 - Twenty Five Episodes of Incoherent and ill-Informed Comic Talk

July 22, 2014 09:01 - 2 hours - 97.8 MB

Its our anniversary show, and we're celebrating with almost 3 more hours of what we do best around here... or at least what we do a lot of around here... talking comics and stuff.  Hydra ponies up some cash to sponsor the big anniversary show (finally helping us to pay some bills) and sneaks in some thought provoking propoganda before a new version of our favorite theme song, Baked Beans, peppered with some of our favorite moments from the first 24 episodes.  Hail Hydra!  And, after all that...

024 - The Independence Day Extravaganza & Some Comics Too

July 14, 2014 08:08 - 2 hours - 85 MB

Its back to back holiday episodes, as Graphic Novice looks back at the trials and tribulations of the Independence Day Weekend. Doc warns us about the death wobble, and lasts almost 24 minutes before offering up a Cyclops impression, while Nickel rambles on for what seems like an hour trying unsuccessfully to make a point about the Facebook social experimentation news, and compare it to Alysa Milano's "Hacktivist". Once again joined by Executive Producer, Fred, the Walking Dead Trade Paperba...

023 - The Spectacular Canada Day Spectacular

July 04, 2014 08:50 - 2 hours - 123 MB

Doc, VF and Nickel all take a quick break from their jovial Canada Day celebrations to sit down and talk comics.  The episode starts out with some hockey talk, tales from camping, and a quick Musings of a Geek podcast network update, before unrapidly proceeding to the inappropriately named "Rapid-Fire Review" segment.  In this episode, the guys at Graphic Novice look at Crossed Badlands #56, All-Star Western #32, Batman #32, Batman Eternal #12, My Little Pony Friendship is Magic #20, Deadly ...

022 - Miles Behind Us

June 29, 2014 19:24 - 2 hours - 103 MB

With 22 episodes down on vinyl, the metaphorical 80's metal band that is Graphic Novice starts to show some signs of coming off the rails.  Will the band be able to put their differences behind them, or will they wrap this thing up and decide to go their separate ways?  In between the bickering, we pack this episode with network commercials, quality impressions, public service announcements, and dramatic re-enactments.  VF, Doc and Nickel, and guest host Fred discuss which female superhero t...

021 - The Superman Festival, Kearnsy's Email, and a Growler of Non-Alcoholic Beer

June 24, 2014 08:08 - 1 hour - 74.5 MB

We lead off with the trailer for our upcoming movie and show off the acting talents of our very own VF.  Off air, Doc attempts to whip us into shape, demanding that we trim the fat and try to keep the show to under 2 hours...  did we succeed...  listen and find out.  We try to make up for the short running time with our longest title to date.  We spend a little bit less time talking about nothing before getting to our "Rapid-Fire Review Segment", where we discuss Crossed Badlands #55, Lumber...

020 - Bring Out Your Dead

June 14, 2014 18:57 - 2 hours - 120 MB

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 Pape...

019 - Giant-Size Graphic Novice Episode Zero

June 06, 2014 06:35 - 2 hours - 107 MB

When our listeners complained to us about the length of each episode, we paid attention... and decided to record our longest episode yet.  Other podcasts stick to a schedule, and try to cram everything into an hour.  Here at Graphic Novice we take pride in the fact that a single episode is all you need to keep you company for a 200 mile drive to the in-laws.  In this episode we take a little bit of time to reveal the inner workings and politics of the Musings of a Geek Podcast Network.  Afte...

018 - Back to the Future Past

May 31, 2014 06:49 - 2 hours - 79.2 MB

The hosts of Graphic Novice have to travel back in time to record this episode in sequential order, and keep the podcast on track.  Journey back with the guys to a simpler time, May 21 2014 to be exact, and enjoy a trip down memory lane as we slowly and gradually discuss the comics we read way back in the dog days of May, including Afterlife With Archie #5, Lumberjanes #2, Batman Eternal #6, Wraith Welcome to Christmasland #6, Starlight #3, All-New Ghost Rider #3, All-New X-Men #27, Avengers...
