Graphic Novel Month, and Contest / by MELINDA Schmidbauer


In November, Mark and I are going to do a graphic novel month. We'll both read the same graphic novel (one neither of us has read before), and talk about it during our regular podcast. I wanted to do eight books, two a week, but Mark says that is too much!

If you want to read along with us, we'll announce our books the week before we talk about them. Next week will be the first volume of 100 Bullets (chosen by Mindy!).

We're also having a contest for the podcast. As our long-time listeners know, we sometimes go to comic book conventions. We picked up a few sample issues of comics at this past summer's Wizard World Chicago comic-con. I've put together two packages, each containing the 70th anniversary Wizard magazine, a copy of Masquerade #1 (Dynamite), the Death-defying Devil #1 (Dynamite), and two other freebie comics (different in both packages).

So, what am I going to do with these? Right now, we have four reviews on iTunes. I think we should have more. So, if you leave us an iTunes review by November 15, you'll be eligible to win one of these packages. Anyone who has already left a review on our current feed will also be eligible. We'll announce the name of the winner in our November 15 podcast, so any reviews posted before we record on the 15th will be eligible.

It doesn't matter what kind of a review we get. I hope they aren't zero stars, but those reviews will still be included. I assume if you wanted to rate our podcast a zero, you wouldn't be listening...
