This was Denver Comic Con’s 3rd year, but the first one I’ve been able to attend as my better half surprised me with tickets for our anniversary. She’s new to comics, but was excited to learn more with me & see her beloved Power Rangers. To give you a frame of reference, Denver’s first year was pretty small, but last year saw a huge jump in attendance. They weren’t prepared for the spike & just couldn’t handle the lines. This led to horror stories of five hour waits. Luckily this year they figured out line management. Luckily, we got there about an hour before badge exchange. The line was long, but it moved very smoothly. The poor dude in a Punisher costume had to keep reminding his Spider-Kids that there were no places in line to pee. Friday was a lot of fun. We started the day watching a Q&A with the Blue Ranger (David Yost), Black Ranger (Walter Jones) & Lord Zed (Robert Axelrod). The main event room had a crazy echo that made it hard for the panel guests to hear the fans questions, so Yost took matters into his own hands by moving the microphones closer to the stage. They mostly talked about being role models and stuff like that, but I enjoyed the tales of pranks. I guess the Green Ranger (Jason David Frank) really enjoyed ribbing Yost. Heeding Todd’s advice about cons, we took advantage of the small Friday morning crowd to explore the merch area & artist alley. Quite the sensory overload, but we got good recon to plan our weekend. We marked out pretty hard when we sat in the 1960’s Batmobile. It was neat chatting with the owner about the history of the car. Our buddies...

A brand new start to an old favorite. Todd and Leonard are back and never left at the same time! We talk about one of the craziest comics stories in quite some time! A deep discussion about Marvel’s variant cover policy and if it’s a good thing or a bad thing. We talk Daredevil casting news and somehow it gets to Adventures in Babysitting. Trust me, it all makes sense. All this, what we read last week, what we’re looking forward to this week, digital sales and freebies. But DANG IT, in our excitement, we forgot a Twitter question! We’ll let you know here shortly. ** Links of Note ** Orlando Toy & Comic Con  Denver Comic Con Eternal Con in Long Island  NY Comic Fest Special Edition NYC Take the DC Comics Survey **Digital Books Sales** Comixology Summer Reading List Letter 44 Sale Preacher Sale Marvel X-Men sales **What We Read Last Week** Big Trouble in Little China #1 Superior Foes #12 Original Sin #3 Loki Agent of Asgard #5 Cyclops #2 **What We’re Looking Forward to This Week** Todd’s Pick LFC’s Pick   http://media.blubrry.com/longbox_heroes/longboxheroes.com/_wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Longbox-Heroes-001.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe:...

Looks like we made it! Heart attacks and dead computers are merely speed bumps for Leonard and Todd as the podcast begins anew! Moving towards the future, the boys discuss what the new version of the show will bring, new content for the website, and even more podcasts? Also, Todd’s lament of two super cons in two weekends. Leonard names all the doctors and a Twitter question? ALREADY?!?!

Todd and I are podcast veterans, dating all the way back to 2009 with Three Guys from Nowhere and more recently with The Weekly Longbox, tallying almost 200 episodes between the two shows. And now, take three, we’ve taken the podcast outlaw! We’re still going to provide the same show we’ve always provided week in and week out, barring any health concerns. We’ll be talking the latest and greatest in the world of comics, weekly reviews, previews, listener interactions and so much more. Todd and I have been lifelong comic book fans and we feel as though we bring a unique, friendly and proud look at comic books and fandom. We’re not embarrassed of what we like and you shouldn’t be either! There will be a dedicated web site and web presence, hopefully with more content than just a podcasts, we’re still in the early stages of taking things, lock, stock and barrel on our own. We do and will continue to do this show for two groups of people: You, the listeners; and Ourselves And no one else! Perhaps you are finding this site by coincidence, perhaps you’re here through one of the other podcasts we’re friends with or perhaps you remember Todd and I from our prior podcasts. However you got here, we hope you’ll stay for a...
