I'VE MADE A MOUNTAIN FROM A LOVEBITE AGAIN
The Beast Must Die, Lord Nuneaton Savage and Gary Lactus gleefully jump back into Batman and the Outsiders #8 on behest of The Drifting Reviewniverse.
There's mysterious adverts, there's adverts that pull the brave reviewmonauts down plastic rabbit holes and there's the rest of the comic too! This masterfully told story breaks heads in all directions! The impressive! The absurd! The amusing! The Traumatic!
THANK YOU, OH BEAUTIFUL REVIEWNIVERSE!
The next episode of SILENCE! is already on our Patreon alongside around three-hundred exclusive episodes.

A HARE CALLED LUCIFER!
The Drifting Reviewniverse gifts The Beast Must Die, Lord Nuneaton Savage and a rather muffled Gary Lactus the hands down, straight up, no word of a lie best comic so far in this chance-led odyssey, Batman and the Outsiders #8. The fearless reviewmonauts pour over every page until they run out of time. Part 2 is already on our Patreon .

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, 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!".
