IT’S SO GOOD, BABY WHEN YOU’RE AT THE WHEEL

HOW WAS THIS ALLOWED TO HAPPEN?! Well, it’s done now. Ghost Rider 11 has been fully digested by Gary Lactus, Maid Of Nails and Al To Astonish, who accurately said after recording, “I feel like I have advert poisoning”.

WHEN I SAW MUSHROOM HEAD, I WAS BORN AND I WAS DEAD

It’s the Drifting Reviewniverse #3 and Gary Lactus, Al To Astonish and Maid Of Nails are supposed to be examining Ghost Rider #11 (Marvel, 1975). Unfortunately Maid Of Nails has gone missing and the adverts are far too interesting to concentrate on the comic itself. Despite this and quite amazingly, what you have here is an hour and a half of enthusiastic dissection that covers less than half the comic! We’re going to have to dive back in for Part 2 next week. OMGR!!!!!!!

ACTIVITY TROUSERS

This week (ahem), the Drifting Reviewniverse takes Gary Lactus and TT into everyone’s least favourite Chuck D, Charles Dixon’s Marc Spector: Moon Knight #12.

CURSE YOU, FATE! Your hosts do their best to choke it down and describe the experience. It’s a fun chat about a comic that wasn’t enjoyed by either of them.

SOMETIMES I CAN’T FIND MY GOOD HABITS

You hear that? Of course you do, it’s startling, nigh on deafening! It’s the NEW HIGH CONCEPT ALARM! 

Unfortunately the new thing doesn’t know what it’s called. Drifting Reviewniverse? Random Reviewniverse? Adventure into Indeterminacy? Let’s read with Ian Determinate? The idea is simple. A random English language comic from the last 90 years or so is chosen, read and talked about. This episode it’s Here’s Howie #9 and it’s talked about by Gary Lactus and Al To Astonish

IT’S LIKE A WHIRLPOOL AND IT NEVER ENDS

At last! It’s time for The Big Pivot! Welcome to the SILENCE! Sportscast! All the Action! All the balls! More kicks and hits than you could reasonably kick or hit! Who’s winning? YOU!

Unfortunately the sports chat gets somewhat derailed by talk about gigs and the 90s before Gary Lactus and The Beast Must Die get sucked into The Reviewniverse where they find Joe Wilkinson: My Autobiography, Elf Quest, Cerebus, Viz (Gary’s got a strip in it!) and Proustian comics in general.

Following that, there’s a lovely bit of SILENCE! (Because The Film’s Started) in which The Beast Must Die has seen The Flash.

All sport is finally forgotten as the hosts reckymend Comfort Blanket, Allan Quartermain and the Spear of Destiny (Jesus fucking Christ), Blood & Flesh: The Reel Life & Ghastly Death of Al Adamson and Gary just won’t stop going on about his Patreon. At this point in the blurb we usually say, “AND MORE!”.

SILENCE! has not been sponsored by the greatest comics shops on the planet, DAVE’S COMICS of Brighton and GOSH! Comics of London for years but we still love them.

Welcome to the SILENCE! Seasonal Scrapings! Gary Lactus, has cobbled questionable content from the contents of our Patreon, namely Gary’s Com Dom Corner, a new venture in which he reads and reviews a comic suggested by members of C-Unit. The three Com Dom Corners here feature Legion Of Suprheroes, Wildcats: Trilogy #1 and Nth Man The Ultimate Ninja. But before that, Gary runs down his Best Of 2023 list.  Have a big Christgasm everyone!

Here’s the recording of SILENCE! To Astonish from Thought Bubble 2023. Gary Lactus, The Beast Must Die and Al Kennedy put Al Ewing, Rachel Stott, Lucy Sullivan and Not Caspar Wijngaard to the test.
