Longbox Heroes episode 719: Logistics Man
A big, giant week of news with publishers moving distributors, distributors buying publishers and what that could mean in the future. Plus, DC’s push for both Absolute Power and the coming Absolute line keeps on truckin’, the passing of a comic book legend, Todd’s dream figure is coming from another Todd and now you can subscribe to Chip Zdarsky’s print newsletter! This week, Beckie tells what we would get if we crossed E.T. with a pink Bigfoot on My Walk Down Lois Lane, What We Read Last Week with Silver Age silliness with a modern twist in Action Comics, a gag a minute in Barfly and the return of Preview Review talking Mad Cave Studio’s Flash Gordon #1 (read the zero issue here), What We’re Looking Forward to This Week, Todd & Joe Have Issue re-read of Gail Simone’s Secret Six with some heavy DC banshee lore, the penultimate episodes of Star Wars Acolyte and the Boys, Todd’s bold prediction for the finale of at least one of those shows and so much more!
