DC is OK, right? The Fandome thing was a success, lots of cool stuff was shown. But one man doesn’t think so, which leads to the most the Rob Watch segment to date (no time for the intro, sadly!) Boom Studios continues to make big strides, Thor crosses over with one of the biggest video game franchises and wither the Elongated Man? All this, plus what we read last week, what we’re looking forward to next week, Todd’s Art Attack and the return of Pigskin Pick ’ems!

Weekly Question – Best Comic Thing for 2017 12/22/16...
posted by Joe
2016 in the books and 2017 is right around the corner.

Speaking of the summer, we’ve got tons of comic related movies coming in 2017, starting with this bad boy: Also, we have Thor later in the year, Wonder Woman and many, many more.

Weekly Question – Best Comic Thing of 2016 12/15/16...
posted by Joe
Last year, we tried to do a whole best of list, creators, publishers, etc. This year, it’s just one catch all, what was the best comic book related thing of 2016? Is it an actual comic? Now, I can’t get away with saying ‘anything by Jason Aaron’ but if I (or you) were to say ‘the Mighty Thor’, you’d get no complaints from me. Was it a comic book movie? You know, with everyone grousing about so many comic book movies, 2016 only had seven, which seems like a low number for as much complaining as you hear. Or maybe it was a TV show? There was tons and tons of great comic related stuff on TV in 2016 as well Or was it something else all together? A toy? A video game? A piece of clothing? Whatever! So this week, gentle listener, what was the best comic book related thing? Just tweet us with your answer using the hash tag #LBHQuery. Don’t like or have Twitter?

Weekly Question – Best Single Issue Story 12/08/16...
posted by Joe
Comic stories can be told in many different ways. A six issue mini series. An ongoing story that is 900 plus issues in. An original graphic novel. But for me, the best is the one off. The single issue story. 26 to 20 pages (depending on the publishing year of course) and you get a complete story, a beginning, middle and end for one low price, again, also depending on the publishing year. My first example, however, breaks that page count rule and shows up in an annual, a very unlikely place for one of the most iconic Superman stories of all time. Another place where these stories happen is the fill in issue. Back in the day, when the main story was running late, the big publishers would have a file of ‘fill in issue’ to publish so a shipping date wasn’t missed and product was on the stands. Most times the fill ins were filler, but every once in a while, they hit gold, like with the Kid Who Collects Spider-Man. Other times, the single issue story is used as a break between bigger stories. A pause for the readers and characters in the book. Sometimes it’s to lay the ground work for a future story line, or in this instance, it’s to introduce one of the most popular characters in DC/Vertigo history. So this week, gentle listener, what is the best single issue story comic? Just tweet us with your answer using the hash tag #LBHQuery. Don’t like or have Twitter? Need more room to explain your choice? Just leave a comment on this post! We’ll compile up all the answers and talk about them on next week’s show! And maybe even...
Weekly Question – Best Holiday Story 12/01/16...
posted by Joe
DC, the company built around legacy and tradition seems to be more prolific when it comes to holiday themed comics, pretty much running the gamut on all of them. One of my personal favorites is the annual JSA/JLA Thanksgiving issue, which we haven’t had in some time, one of the few lingering effects of the new 52. Another big one is Batman the Long Halloween, which is actually a 12 issue maxiseries that covers every holiday. But most people, especially in December, when they think holidays, they think Christmas. And here’s a page from a DC Christmas story that may come up on this week’s After Dark. But Marvel has both a Gwenpool and Iron Fist & Luke Cage Christmas specials coming out this year, so Marvel is finally getting caught up. So this week, gentle listener, what is the best holiday comic? Just tweet us with your answer using the hash tag #LBHQuery. Don’t like or have Twitter? Need more room to explain your choice?
