We talked about the publication of PIX through Image Comics, and Gregg answers many questions about PIX v1 (if you want to hear a more in-depth summary of PIX v1, listen to Episode 83). I learned a lot about Gregg's creative process and his love of bears.

We also ponder which is better: a late, but quality book, or a filler issue. Also, the evils of an incorrect solicitation.

    And if that wasn't enough, we also talk about some newish Marvel titles that we've read, specifically, Daredevil, Moon Knight, Alpha Flight, and Punisher. So buckle up, hang tight, and enjoy this super-sized episode (2:25:45)!

Regardless, I hope you enjoy this conversation I had with my dear friend and fellow comic connoisseur, Travis, aka Oddfellow on his comic review site (Update: watch Oddfellow's YouTube videos here). In this episode we talk about

    • The Ages of Comics (what defines some of them, and just what age was it that we started collecting comics)
    • The 90s (aka the Dark Age of Comics)
    • Digital Comics (pros and cons; sharing/stealing)
    • We also discuss the answers to the following questions:
      • Travis's favorite comic(s)
      • His favorite character(s)
      • And which comic character we would want to date (for the 12-year-old in us)

    As I say at the end of the episode (which clocks in at 55:02), I had tons of fun talking with Travis about comics. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Regardless, I hope you enjoy this conversation I had with my dear friend and fellow comic connoisseur, Travis, aka Oddfellow on his comic review site (Update: watch Oddfellow's YouTube videos here). In this episode we talk about

    • The Ages of Comics (what defines some of them, and just what age was it that we started collecting comics)
    • The 90s (aka the Dark Age of Comics)
    • Digital Comics (pros and cons; sharing/stealing)
    • We also discuss the answers to the following questions:
      • Travis's favorite comic(s)
      • His favorite character(s)
      • And which comic character we would want to date (for the 12-year-old in us)

    As I say at the end of the episode (which clocks in at 55:02), I had tons of fun talking with Travis about comics. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Listening back on the episode (man, I do hate to listen to myself, but whatchagonnado?) I realize all of the things I didn't say, like how much I thought the color artist (Barbara Ciardo) had just as much to do with the success of the book as the two main creators. Also, I need to better describe the visuals I'm talking about (and to be careful of my pronoun usage, among, uh, other things). But enough with the self deprecation, for it is time to humbly offer you Longbox Review podcast Episode 3: A review of  Superman: Earth One.

This time, however, I not only review one comic, I review three! On deck is Batman #700, Superman #700, and Wonder Woman #600. Be amazed at how I call these issues "milestones" and "anniversaries" interchangeably! Be astonished at how I mispronounce George Pérez's last name multiple times even though I know better! Regardless of my vocal foibles, I hope you enjoy this episode.

Why that comic? Because it was the first one on the review stack. Plus, I thought it would be fun to talk about it. Warning: may contain spoilers and a not so radio friendly voice. :) The episode clocks in at 10:10.

    I hope you enjoy this, and please let me know what you think of this little experiment! Thanks.
