Graphic Novice Comic Book Podcast

Your snuggly Graphic Novice hosts are joined by the wildly popular, charming and suave, Neil Cetrangolo, from The Dark Angels and Pretty Freaks podcast (http://www.darkangelsandprettyfreaks.com) to discuss The Crow (original series) by James Obarr.

Join us as the three of us discuss our thoughts and opinions on this monumental collection after re-reading it.

Our thanks to Neil for putting up with us, and everyone who chooses to spend a little time with us. Check out The Crow, then come join the Graphic Novice Book Club.

Join Benjamen, Scott, VF & Nickel as they catch up after some more time away from comic book podcasting. The opening, 'General Banter" segment is primarily a discussion of neighborhood pubs, and drinking establishments. Settle in, this episode is a 3-hour marathon.

In "Comic News" the fellows discuss the upcoming prequel to Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" and various Superbowl movie trailers. Rob Liefield's comments about the creation of Deadpool, DC's Legends of Tomorrow, and anticipation for the 2016 comic book movies round out the segment.

Once again, the "Marvel Trivia Box" segment exposes Nickel's lack of knowledge on the very subject matter of this podcast. This week, VF works in Star Wars trivia questions as well.

In the inappropriately named "Rapid Fire Review" segment, comics from January 20, 27 and February 3, 2016 are discussed.

Thanks for listening. You're our favorite listener.... Yup, you. We think you're great.

In this week's general banter segment, the fellows discuss the Hufflepuff house from Harry Potter, Valentine's Day presents, listener feedback from Doug and Jason regarding the podcast, listener feedback from Cheeto Bandito regarding Star Wars, the annual Asquith Saskatchewan hockey tournament, Nickel's encounter with the Grey Cup and VF's epic journey to digitize his original Star Wars VHS tapes.

Once again, its Nickel vs. VF vs. The Marvel Trivia Box, in everyone's favorite new segment, "Marvel Trivia Box".

In "Rapid Fire Review" we discuss books released on January 13, 2016, including Batman & Robin Eternal #15, Earth 2 Society #8, Gotham Academy #14, Robin War 2 (of 2), Lazarus #21, Black Magick #3, All-New Hawkeye #3, All-New X-Men #3, Extraordinary X-Men #5, and Secret Wars #9.

We then take a look ahead to the books coming out on January 27, 2016, before wishing our beloved listeners a hear-felt good evening. Stay safe kids!

The Graphic Novice Comic Book Podcast team comes out of retirement for the 2016 Reunion Tour. Nickel & VF discuss what they've been up to for the past couple months, including sorting comics, prescription sunglasses, Star Wars, Making A Murderer, and coincidentally, New Year's at the Murder Cabin.

No Marvel Trivia this week so that the guys can catch up on the highlights and lowlights from the past 5 weeks of comics.

As always, we wrap up by taking a look what's coming out on the following new comic book day (January 13, 2016).

See you on the road.

The hosts of Graphic Novice are joined by the infamous Bryan from The Salty Language Podcast (saltylanguage.com) to discuss the original Jessica Jones comics, ie. Alias that the current Netflix series is based on.

Don't miss this unholy union of the Salty Language Podcast and Graphic Novice as they discuss the highs and lows of Alias, issues #1-9.

Stay Salty.

If one of the hosts of the show wasn't intoxicated throughout the entire Holiday season, this would have been a pre-Christmas release, but instead, we kept this special episode on the back burner until Boxing Day had passed. This short and out of character mini-show was recorded immediately prior to the second installment of the Graphic Novice Book Club.

Nickel & VF discuss VF's initial impressions of Star Wars, Michael Leal's undefeated streak in the "Marvel Trivia Box", and then the guys skip directly to "Rapid Fire Review" and books released on November 18, 2015, in a failed attempt to bring this segment into the present timeline.

If this short episode leaves you unsatisfied, please send scathing emails to us calling us mean names and such.

Thanks for listening.

We are finally joined by the fantabulous Neil Cetrangolo from the Dark Angels and Pretty Freaks Podcast (thanks to a fictitious "Make A Wish" campaign). Our topics of discussion include testicular injuries, fitness shaming and our pending ad in Curse of the Vessel #2, Neil's expensive taste in things and stuff, VF's prostate, masturbation rehab, VF's basketball prowess, and the Green Up & History of Bad Ideas episode 100's.

In "Comic News" we discuss the Batman v. Superman trailer, Star Wars and Jessica Jones.

We then force listener Neil to join in on the "Marvel Trivia Box" segment.

We wrap up the show with an abbreviated discussion of comics released November 11, 2015, a look ahead to the comics coming out on December 10, 2015, and some Bon Jovi.

Thanks so much for listening.

Your pals Benjamen Scott VF & Nickel are back for the team hand-job that is The Graphic Novice Comic Book Podcast. After experiencing a 30-minute delay, you'll find the our podcast in the "After Hours" time slot this week, where sensual massages, and the art of dual hand release are both fair game on the table of discussion.

The "General Banter" segment covers International Thanksgivings, helping friends move, Christmas gifts from suspended Graphic Novice scribe Desmond Hassing, Christmas work parties in Edmonton, the first installment of The Graphic Novice Book Club, Jessica Jones, Salty Language and the "Sexy VF" episode, 7 Days A Geek's 30 Days of Podcasting, and the 100th episode of both the Green Up & History of Bad Ideas Podcast.

In "Comic News" we discuss the Civil War trailer, The Books of Doom, Jessica Jones, and the newly released Book One of The Dark Knight III: The Master Race.

Tune in for VF's most memorable performance of "The Marvel Trivia Box" to date.

During the "Rapid Fire Review" segment, we review new comics released November 4, 2015 including Klaus #1, Batman & Robin Eternal #5, Detective Comics #46, Unfollow #1, Black Science #17, Lazarus #20, Monstress #1, Nailbiter #17, Paper Girls #2, Velvet #12, We Stand On Guard #5, Amazing Spider-Man #3, Doctor Strange #2, Extraordinary X-Men #1, Howard the Duck #1, Invincible Ironman #3, Spider-Gwen #0, Uncanny X-Men #600, and Ninjak #9.

Before wandering off into the night, we look ahead to the books about to be released on December 2, 2015. Thanks for listening listeners. We appreciate the fact that you let us into your ears every once in a while. Keep it sexy!

Grab your reading glasses and smoking jacket and join Nickel, VF, Jordan Steinhoff (All Us Geeks Podcast) & Ryan Beagley (Gotham Knights Podcast) as they convene to discuss DC's epic "Crisis On Infinite Earths" from way back in old 1985. Topics include a quick summary of the DC multiverse, the rationale for the Crisis event, a summary of the 12 individual issues, and each of the hosts thoughts on the story, as well as the aftermath of the event in the DC Universe.

Thanks to Jordan and Ryan for pseudo-tolerating us for 2 hours. Please send us your feedback after this first installment of our new monthly Book Club segment.

This week on the Graphic Novice Comic Book Podcast we tip our hats to Bob Ross and paint some happy little trees... metaphorically speaking. After getting two hour plus of audio problems, we get to recording, and slap together a fairly disjointed episode, even for us.

The "General Banter" segment includes a discussion of Nickel's podcasting schedule and the History of Bad Ideas Nicolas Cage Special, Green Up's 100th episode, A lovely and undeserved gift from Desmond Hassing, VF's insurance woes, Twitch TV and of course, Bob Ross.

VF & Nickel partake in a showdown of incompetence in the "Marvel Trivia Box" segment.

In "Rapid Fire Review" we discuss comics released on October 21 & October 28, 2015, including Cognetic #1 (of 3), Hacktivist Volume 2 #4, Batman Eternal #3, Black Canary #5, Clean Room #1, Gotham Academy #11, Tokyo Ghost #2, Amazing Spider-Man #2, Invincible Ironman #2, Uncanny Inhumans #1, and Grimm Tales of Terror, Volume 2 #1, Batgirl #45, Grayson #13, We Are Robin #5, Black Magick #1, Manifest Destiny #18, Spread #11, They're Not Like Us #9, New Avengers #2, and Valiant's Book of Death #4 .

We wrap things up by taking some shots at Dark Angels and Pretty Freaks and playing some outtakes from the first 2 hours of the non-show.

Thanks for bearing with us through these trying times. if you have any suggestions to improve the show, please email [email protected]
