Graphically Novel

14/08/2024

All seasons of Graphically Novel, including Time Travelling, are archived on archive.org! You can find them here: https://archive.org/search?query=creator%3A%22Graphically+Novel+LLC%22

Also, we have all past episodes on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/

This will be the only time I use the tag...

With costs to archive our episodes going over $100 annually and the GN team confirming we probably wouldn't do another show anytime soon, we've made the decision to pull the plug on Graphically Novel. Please be sure to jump over to RetConversations as that will still be going!

We have been keeping this train going, on and off, since July 9, 2019 and 5 years is a damn good run in the podcast arena. My thanks, as always, to Vandello who I picture playing us off, my wife Jenn for pushing me to get a hobby and my forever co-host Bear who is still the alcohol to my Tony Stark.

And, of course, anyone who took the time to be on the show, recommend the show to a friend or even listen to a show. You are why we kept going.

All episodes are stored on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/ and are being uploaded to archive.org!

I'm currently waiting on the support response from Podbean but it looks like the charges for the upcoming year will be $324 and for a defunct podcast and one done for fun, it just doesn't make sense to keep investing the time and money.

So, if I don't get a good response from Podbean support, Graphically Novel and RetConversations will be going off the air on Friday.

I am investigating "archive" possibilities and am holding out from my big "shutting down" post, but this week is gonna make or break the future of Graphically Novel podcasts.

We are SO EXCITED to watch this! More for the Sandman Universe!

22/03/2024

OUT NOW!

In a topsy turvy season finale, Leia, Josh and auditing professor Jenn are joined (and taught!) by Friend of the Podcast Adam Witt about all things Fantastic Four! Why didn't the movies work? Is Ben Grimm a fine Jewish boy? What FF books are good for people who don't like the FF? Tune in to find out!

29/02/2024

OUT NOW!

Josh and Leia welcome back great friend and guest Matt Hirth to talk about Fray! We start with a long statement regarding Joss Whedon and then dive into the future slayer world. The story is super toy. Don't know what that means? Listen to find out!

21/02/2024

If ever we had a NSFW episode, this one is it...

Leia and Josh are joined by special guest JR Cillian Green to talk about S*x Criminals! What if you could freeze time every time you orgasmed? What if one person wouldn't stop making s*x puns the entire time you explained a comic about it? This one goes way over the line - so much so that our guest quits at LEAST three times! Make sure you have earbuds on for this episode!

13/02/2024

OUT TODAY!

Leia and Josh are joined once more by the lovely Jennifer Howland to go through the conclusion of Tom King's amazing Human Target! Will Christopher Chance find his killer? Will he be able to find a cure for the poison coursing through his body? How much more of a dick can Guy Gardener possibly be? Answers to all this and more inside!

07/02/2024

OUT NOW!

Leia and Josh welcome back friend of the podcast Kyle Slack to talk about Hellboy Conqueror Worm! Leia's first Hellboy comic and one Josh has been interested in awhile. Homunculi, robot gorillas and killing N***s. Everything you need for a relaxing afternoon!

GREAT NEWS!

Thanks to updates in AI technology, we have been able to remaster Season 1 (except for episode 2, Jessica Jones).

If you've been hesitating to recommend us due to our less than stellar beginnings, you have no reason to hesitate further!

In the premiere episode, Josh and Bear tell you all about the Ultimates and why you should read it if you loved the 2012 Avengers movie!

28/01/2024

We are EXTREMELY excited to announce that Tuesday's episode of RetCon will have special guest Chris Wolf from Villain Support!

Josh and Leia welcome very special guest Chris Wolf from to explain the first of three Age of Apocalypse collections (not counting the prequel collection). Everything is topsy turvy, edginess is the name of the game and the 90's bleed through as the group loses their minds trying to make sense of all this.

24/01/2024

OUT NOW!

Leia and Josh sit down with Loki Variant and possible Skrull, Loki Lott to go through Secret Invasion! A direct follow-up to our first episode, Civil War, Secret Invasion has everything you could want in an event - intrigue, danger, mystery and, of course, Maria Hill being punked out because it's a Marvel event and they just can't help themselves. Tune in for a story that WE PROMISE is much better than the MCU show was.

18/01/2024

We are working on a few more Graphically Novel episodes but in the meantime, be a guest on RetConversations!

16/01/2024

OUT NOW!

From beginning to end, this is a must-listen episode. Returning guest Scott Sinclair bring his son and our youngest Graphically Novel fan, Daniel, to hear all about TMNT: The Last Ronin! Leia, Josh and special guest Jennifer Howland are made to feel extremely old as all of their references fall on 11 year old ears and fail. Come for the schadenfreude and stay for one of the best TMNT stories of the last 20 years!

08/01/2024

DROPPING TOMORROW!

Stop us if you've heard this one - Leia and Josh take someone through a Tom King written story about a C-tier DC character. No, it's not Mister Miracle again - it's the Human Target! We take special guest Jennifer Howland through Part 1 of this noir murder mystery and by the end she's asking for Part 2!

RELEASING TOMORROW!

Let's start Season 4 off right - with Josh and Leia's chickens coming home to roost. This is a storyline THEY ASKED FOR so now it's time to take special guest Cory Peter through the event Sins of Sinister! Snark, glam and clones, clones, clones!

17/10/2023

COMING TOMORROW!

Something completely different for our show, we sit down with Rich Johnson. He is a former DC Comics and Lion Forge Press VP, has been an Eisner Awards judge, writes for comics website The Beat, and founded and was co–publishing director of manga imprint Yen Press. And he's here to kick us into gear for our Hulk series with his book Hulk: Worldbreaker, Hero, Icon!

Join us for his amazing stories not just limited to Hulk. Rich was instrumental in getting graphic novels into book stores in the late 90's and we all owe him a debt of gratitude. We are really proud of this episode!
