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!!!!!!!

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
