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 #29, Captain America #20, Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #1, Fantastic Four #4, New Avengers #18, Nightcrawler #2, United States of Murder Inc. #1, Wolverine #6, X-Force #5, Manifest Destiny TPB 1.  While visiting the past, we also spend some time on the big comic book movies currently in the theatres, and discuss Nickel's most embarrassing guilty pleasure.  We've cut down on the singing, but added a whole bunch of time travel.

Our most musical episode to date begins with a poem and ends with a song.  In between our awe-inspiring moments of artistic expression, we reflect on Doc's blood alcohol level last episode, bid farewell to the girls over at the Green Up podcast, and share our opinions on Batman, board games, science, and some recent listener feedback.  Once we finally get around to talking about comics, we "rapidly" review Crossed Badlands #53, Grindhouse, Batman Eternal #5, Detective Comics #31, Alex + Ada #6, Fatale #22, Nailbiter #1, The Woods #1, All-New X-Factor #7, Black Widow #6, Cyclops #1, Iron Fist #2, Magneto #3, Moon Knight #3, Original Sin #1, Punisher #5, She-Hulk #4, B.A.R. Maids and Wynter #1 and 2.  We then turn our attention to the Eisner Comic Industry awards for 2014, and discuss the nominees in a few of the categories we're interested in.  As always, things get wrapped up with a look ahead to some of the books we're anticipating in the week to come, but as a special spring bonus, we close out the episode with a touching tribute song.

We kick things off this episode with a discussion of Las Vegas, VF's aversion to free comic book day,  and a quick nod to mother's day. After clearing up some general conversation points left over from the week before, we proceed to our ironically named "Rapid Fire Review" segment.  This week we discuss Hacktivist #4, Batman Eternal #4, The Eltingville Club, Black Science #6, Deadly Class #4, Southern Bastards #1, Ten Grand #9, All-New X-Men #26, Amazing Spider-Man #1, Avengers #28, Hulk #2, New Avengers #17, Silver Surfer #2, Uncanny Avengers Annual #1, Wolverine #5, X-Force #4, and Origins II #5. Graphic Novice then welcomes its dedicated Equestria Correspondent, Brunellus, and we get an update on whats going on with My Little Pony these days before looking ahead to next week's books.

The Graphic Novice Comic Book Podcast celebrates its 15th episode anniversary by recording a 15th episode.  We discuss lying and cheating our way onto a podcast network, our pending Musings of a Geek network belly tattoos, and tips on what to do with your dogs while youre away on a vacation.  Nickel humbly accepts credit for predicting the Death of Wolverine, VF purchases his first piece of original art, and Doc buys new hockey skates.  The "Rapid Fire Review" segment discusses Crossed, Peanuts #17, Witcher #2, All-Star Western #30, Batman Eternal #3, Dead Body Road #5, The Fuse #3, Lazarus #8, Protectors Inc. #6, Thief of Thieves #20, Fantastic Four #3, Guardians of the Galaxy #14, Original Sin #0, Uncanny Avengers #19, Bunker #3, and Evil Empire #2.  We finish off the episode with a look at some of the comments from the website.
