Longbox Review

What did Travis and I think of week 2 of DC's new 52 (warning: spoilers!)? Have a listen to find out which titles we liked or didn't like (and why), and whether they were new reader friendly (just like last time). So, how did you like the week 2 titles? Do you think we're spot on or just crazy? Be sure to leave comments on our blogs, you can send email to longboxreview@gmail.com , or if you're on...

Just like everyone else in the comic book podcastosphere, Travis and I discuss DC’s new 52 initiative, starting with the first 13 comics released the first week of September (warning: spoilers!). We talk about which titles we liked or didn’t like (and why), and whether they were new reader friendly. So, let us know what you think. Do you agree or not with our assessments? Leave comments here, send...

In anticipation of the new DC 52, Travis and I finish our discussion (1:34:55) about the end of the DCU as represented by Flashpoint #5, and transition into the DCnU with Justice League #1. Towards the end we discuss the price per page of our comics, and one of us gets pissed at Marvel (can you guess which one?). Also, we go totally fan boy with our discussion about Wonder Woman's new costume (pan...

Since it took me a little over two months to release a new episode, I now give you more comic talk goodness. Episode 7 was released a few days ago, and now Travis and I continue our conversation about some final DC titles. Specifically, we talk about the end to Birds of Prey , Justice League of America , Secret Six , Zatanna , and Batman . Being the talkative twosome that we are, we end up not jus...

After a bit of a break (apologies to my subscribers for that), we're back to talk about some (now old) news from Fan Expo and some of the final DC titles before the new 52 starts. Specifically this episode (1:00:20) we discuss Batman & Robin #26 and Batgirl #24. We spend so much time discussing Fan Expo news and those two titles that I decided to split up the conversation into multiple parts (whic...

For Episode 6 (1:26:55), Oddfellow and I talk about a great many things, despite the fact that we tried to talk about one thing in particular, but when you're having a great conversation sometimes you just go with the flow. :) Some things we discuss: The expanded Justice League line-up Event books More DC Relaunch reactions, especially regarding Justice League Dark and Deadman Retailer reaction to...

As soon as the news broke last week regarding the DC Comics relaunch , Mr. Oddfellow and I wanted to get together and talk about it. Much has happened since last Tuesday's announcement, but we do talk about our reactions to the news, what we think of the initial 11 titles announced, plus the additional Green Lantern titles that had been announced at the time of recording, and some other stuff alon...

Wow. So much for my assertion that I was gonna do more of these podcasts on a more regular basis (as you may recall from the last episode back in January ). Well, no use crying over lost decibals . . . or something . . . . 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...

It's my longest audiocast yet (at 42:51)! 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 prono...

For this episode, I review Brave and the Bold #35. Thanks for listening!

Doing the audio review of Brave and the Bold #34 was so much fun, I decided to do another. 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...

This is something I've been wanting to try for a long time now, and I present it to you now with Episode 0 wherein I talk about the Brave & the Bold #34. 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 ple...
