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, the financial woes of podcasters, Gotham, Gotham Lights, and more. Eventually we talk comics, and discuss Free Comic Book Day, opening a Comic shop in Napa City, and The Avengers Age of Ultron movie.

Our thanks to Annaleis and Michael for taking a couple hours to chat, and to everyone who takes the time to listen. We’ll be back to our regular broadcasting format next episode.

Previous Episode

060 - Sixty For Sixty

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 examination of the nominees until our next non-sixty minute episode.

For "Rapid-Fire Review", finally accurately named, we look at books released April 15, 2015 including Sabrina #2, Crossed Plus 100 #4, Convergence #2, Convergence: Shadow of the Bat #1, Chrononauts #2, Fade Out #5, Kaptara #1, '68 Bad Sign One-Shot, Magneto #17, Ms. Marvel #14, Nova #29, Thor #7, Uncanny X-Men #33, Wolverines #14, The Avengers Rage of Ultron Graphic Novel, and Bloodshot Reborn #1.

The sixty-minute buzzer goes off, VF loses his mind, and we painfully work through "Next Week's Books" and the books that we want to check out after April 22, 2015. As always, thanks for listening, and please check out our website graphicnovice.com for newly released articles.

Enjoy Free Comic Book Day!

Next Episode

061 - Bananas (featuring Gwen Stefani)

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 Language and our monumental Moon War victory.

Then we discuss VF’s crush on Michael Leal.

Then we talk comic news. We look at the Netflix Daredevil series, Lady Mechanika, The Avengers sequel, and avoid discussing the 2015 Eisners once again.

In Rapid Fire Review we discuss Lady Mechanika The Tablets of Destinies #1, Curb Stomp #3, Convergence #3, Deadly Class #12, The Empty #3, Lazarus #16, Manifest Destiny #14, Postal #3, Velvet #10, All-New X-Men #40, Amazing Spider-Man #17.1, Amazing X-Men #19, Guardians of the Galaxy #26, Inhuman Special #1, Guardians of the Galaxy And the X-Men The Black Vortex Omega #1, Woverines #15, Ninjak #2 and Kaptara #1.

As always, we look ahead to the following week of comic book releases (April 29, 2015) and let you know some of the books we're excited to check out.
