Episode 17: Best of 2011! | The LBR podcast is back for the new year, but this episode we are taking a look at 2011 by discussing what we see are the Best of comics and related items in 11 categories. What did we choose, for example, for Best Artist, Cover, and Ongoing? Have a listen and discover for yourself! If you'd like (and I'd love it if you did), let me know what you would have chosen for those categories and I'd be glad to read them on the "air". Disagree with our picks?

Episode 16: Halcyon | I wanted to take a break from discussing DC titles (though, that's mostly what I collect, so why fight it? :)) so this episode I discuss with Travis the Image Comics series Halcyon (warning: we will discuss plot points and reveals). You'd think this would be a quick episode, but somehow Travis and I manage to talk for almost two hours about five issues! How did we ever get through 13 DC Comics issues in under three hours?! I mentioned towards the beginning of the episode an interview with the writer of the series at Bleeding Cool (which I did not discuss at the end of the episode as I said I would--sorry, I forgot!). For those that are interested, here is the link: http://www.bleedingcool.com/2010/11/24/tough-minded-questions-with-marc-guggenheim-halcyon-action-comics-and-more/.

Episode 12: October Previews | Here's something new: this month's Previews (58:03)! I apologize in advance for the choppy/echo-y audio starting at about the 23 minute mark, though the bad spots come and go. I tried fixing the problem, but was not that successful, and I didn't want to rerecord more than half of the episode. :) Anyhoo, here's what interested me while looking at this month's Previews catalog for stuff shipping in December and beyond. | 10/16/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

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?

Episode 9: Flashpoint #5 and Justice League #1 | 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 (pants or shorts?). Please leave some feedback here, on iTunes, and Facebook.

Episode 8: Endings & Beginnings, Part 2 | 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 just talking about the final issues, but our impressions of the whole run, characters, and creators. 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)! Please leave some feedback, especially on iTunes, if you wouldn't mind. :) Thanks for listening! | 9/7/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 7: The End of the (DC) World As We Know It, Part 1 | 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 start. Specifically this episode (1:00:20) we discuss Batman 8 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 (which is why I say we'll take a break and then the episode ends), so look for part 2 very soon! Remember that you can send me feedback about what you've listened to, suggest topics, and ask me or Travis questions about anything comic related. To do that, you can leave comments on the LBR blog (longboxreview.wordpress.com), send email to longboxreview@gmail.com, or if you're on Twitter, message @longboxreview. It would be great to hear from you! Thanks for listening! | 9/5/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 6: Comic Potpourri | 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. If you are a subscriber, please note that my RSS feed has changed. I now use http://feeds.feedburner.com/LongBoxReview/. 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 DC’s Relaunch DC’s advertizing strategy Movie talk: Green Lantern and a little about X-Men: First Class (ok, me trying to convince Oddfellow he should go see it) Finally, I wanted to thank my daughter, Brittany, for creating the theme that opens the show.

Episode 5: DC Comics Relaunch | 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 along the way as well. So, I give you Episode 5, my longest recording thus far (1:56:52). I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed recording it.
