The Beatles wrote a song just for this occassion... We\'re Sixty-Four! Michael Leal of the "Who The What Now" Podcast and Danger Entertainment helps us ring in our sixty fourth episode, which we almost dedicate to the end of DC Comics\' "Convergence" event.\\xa0 But... It wouldn\'t be Graphic Novice if we didn\'t delay the discussion of comics, in favor of some weekly off-topic banter.\\xa0 After getting all the network plugs out of the way, we get an update from VF farms, check in with Michael\'s many exploits and get an update on all the ongoings of the Danger Entertainment podcast network.\\xa0 Nickel also takes some time to complain about stuff.

In the "Comic News" segment, Michael Leal walks us through some of the key events leading up to "Convergence", in an attempt to help us understand the consequences of DC\'s most recent universe-wide event.\\xa0 The conversation follows a few different tangents, as Convergence is compared to Secret Wars, and the guys debate whether Marvel or DC has better villains.
