Graphic Novice records during the monumental Canadian Federal Election, and get a little sidetracked talking about politics north and south of the wall, after deciding that our listening audience wasn't quite bored enough with our regular programming. In an attempt to spice things up, we sprinkle in a little bit of threesome talk, which transitions nicely into a discussion about Denny's, which transitions nicely into a discussion about chickens.

With the "Intro Banter" out of the way, we decide to actually discuss comics.

We roll through an abbreviated Comic News, and VF vs, The Marvel Trivia Box and spend "Rapid-Fire Review" trying to get caught up as we discuss books from September 16, 23 and 30th, including; Black Canary #4, '68 Last Rights #2, The Beauty #2, Manifest Destiny #17, Tokyo Ghost #1 (a review of last week's review), Spider-Verse #5, Rai #10, Batgirl #44, Grayson #12, Thief of Thieves #31, Book of Death #3, Batman Annual #4, and They're Not Like Us #8.

Thanks for spending your time checking us out. Hopefully we'll see you again next week when we finally discuss all the new books coming out in October, including the Post Secret Wars Marvel #1's.

Stay Classy.

The Graphic Novice Comic Book Podcast returns after getting our chakras re-aligned, and spends 3 hours catching up.  Our apologies to fans of both "Rapid-Fire Review" and the Fantastic Four centric "Back Issue Review", as this week's episode is an exercise in self-indulgence.  VF & Nickel spend the majority of this episode discussing Rose City Comiccon in Portland, Oregon, Michael Leal as the "Little Spoon", hanging out with the Beagleys, The Edmonton Comic Expo, and Metal Roofing. This episode also includes the second round of "VF vs. The Marvel Trivia Box". Listen to find out who wins.

To make up for this episode being a little light on the weekly reviews and discussion, the next episode will be comic book review heavy.

Thanks for listening, and thanks a bunch for all your support.  Our apologies for the wait.

Prior to recording the most recent Walking Dead Trade Paperback review VF, Doc Thirst, and our Executive Producer, Fred, discuss a wide array of topics, including their shared love of table top gaming, Escape Rooms, Dungeons & Dragons, and eventually... the Walking Dead.

VF, Doc Thirst and Fred bring back the Walking Dead segment after a month with no Graphic Novice recordings.  Its still a Graphic Novice episode though, so the guys avoid talking about the title content for as long as possible before digging into The Walking Dead - Volume 17 (issues 97-102), which, obviously, includes the controversial 100th issue. WARNING: Contains substantial board game conversation.
