Previous Episode

086 - Dixieland Delight

The Graphic Novice Comic Book podcast returns to the sweet sweet sounds of Alabama's "Dixieland Delight". After discussing some southern terminology, the guys move on to the aptly named, "Bullshit" segment, where they review the highlights and lowlights from the past couple weeks. VF is a man on the town, Nickel is man on the ground.

"Comic News" is a little light this week, as the guys boycotted doing any sort of "research" what so ever. They discuss the rejuvenation of Steve Rogers, VF's adventures with the DCU, and Nickel complains about stuff.

Nickel continues to complain about some stuff throughout "Rapid Fire Review", where they review Batman & Robin Eternal #26, Black Science #21, Captain America: Sam Wilson #7, Detective Comics #51, Black Panther #1, Uncanny X-Men #6, and Moon Knight #1.

The guys forget to review the books coming out this week, and limp out of town with a snappy outro discussing the pros and cons of retiring after episode 100.

Next Episode

087 - Velvet Fog & The Spring of Fire

Another episode of the Graphic Novice Comic Book Podcast hits the airwaves with Nickel & The Velvet Fog. As a tribute to the Suicide Squad movie, internet issues forced us to go back and re-record several parts of this episode, delaying its release.

In the initial "General Banter" segment, now renamed, "Bullshittin'" we discuss the Alberta fires, Doc Thirst's birthday, the Fantastic Four movie, Jeff Nau's appearance on the Latest "Book Club" episode, VF's recent and future travels, vintage Nintendo systems and games, and Danger Entertainment contract negotiations.

"Comic News" is a little light this week, but we do play the bumper for all the Creed fans out there... Looking at you Bryan from Salty Language...

"Marvel Trivia" is reduced to one question each... due to the extended "Bullshittin'" segment.

Our second attempt at "Rapid-Fire Review" goes a little smoother once our internet issues are resolved. We discuss Batman, Detective Comics, Batgirl, Amazing Spider-Man, Moon Knight, Punisher, The Vision, Uncanny X-Men, Nailbiter, Lazarus, Low, Manifest Destiny, Rai, and 4001 A.D.

We sneak in some discussion of the Spider-Porsche, and the History of Bad Ideas podcast before calling it quits this week.

Thanks for listening.
