The more things change, the more things stay the same. Dark Horse calls out Marvel’s punk card. IDW has two here to unknown crossovers in the pipeline, one involving a character mentioned right here last week. What we read last week, what we’re looking forward to this week, talk of the most recent CW the Flash and Leonard successfully pronounces the name of a difficult creator’s name. All this and so much more!

DC has the non-comic book world by storm! More animated features! More casting of folks you’ve never heard of. But it all works! I hope this momentum keeps going for their movies. We also discuss creators singing exclusives and what that really means, more box subscription services coming, what we read this past week, what we’re looking forward to this week and a lengthy discussion of AMC’s the Walking Dead season finale.

Lots of Convergence and convention talk to start. This weekend marks the first HUGE con of 2015 and next week is the kick of to the event that will change DC Comics from here on out. In addition to the books we read from last week, what we’re looking forward to this week and update to our contest and when that end date may be near, but also the penultimate episode of AMC’s the Walking Dead and the latest TWO episodes of CW’s the Flash? Is it time travel? And how is Spidey gonna eat that hot dog through his mask?

It’s a heavy one. And that’s not a Doc Emmett Brown reference, neither. Todd starts things off discussing the works of Terry Pratchett, who passed away last week. You want talk of Erik Larsen’s opinions on costumes? You got it! You want us to weigh in on THAT Batgirl Joker variant cover? We got one of those too! You want part of a really cool contest?

Leonard’s psychosis knows no bounds as much of his organization concerns are tested this week as more and more books are late and one anticipated book can’t figure out what its name is. Todd knows Leonard’s crazy but humors him anyway while we speculate why a major studio would skip out on San Diego Comic Con, what else we read from last week, what we are looking forward to this week, our 2015 Official Longbox Heroes Character bracketing continues and we are reaching the end of AMC’s the Walking Dead and we cover it all!

Jason Aaron’s newest book about a town in Ohio and our prognostication about the DC TV Universe is coming true!

We had a fun a show. How fun? We spend zero second talking about that Aquaman teaser image that came out last week. Is this us covering up for forgetting about it? NO! Because we talk a lot about the ComicsPRO expo from this past weekend and speculate on what could be the worst job in comics. That, what we read last week, the return of a preview book, what we’re looking forward to this week Flash and Walking Dead TV talk and so much more. Hope you enjoy!

Last time was a blow out. This time, maybe not. We’re back to DC Comics and it’s two characters who are right outside the top tier, the big seven of the DC Universe. First up, the number three seed, the current Batgirl in the new 52: Now, I say the current Batgirl but avoid using her nom de plume, her shoot name if you will. If you read this week’s Batgirl #39, you’ll understand why I’m being cagey. And she does battle with my personal second favorite Green Lantern (behind Sinestro, of course) and current leader of the Red Lanterns, the number ten seed, Guy Gardner: You have until 9pm EST next Tuesday to let your voice be heard! Batgirl wins, 23 – 22 Perhaps you don’t want to contribute to the poll, that’s cool. You do your thing.  You can tweet your choice. Just don’t forget the hashtag #LBHQuery so I can track them down easier and we’ll go from there! Next week, round three begins as we have the third round of the indie bracket. Very interested to see how that one will...

Why do comic books get made into TV shows? Besides money. Why do some get fast tracked and others seemingly are optioned to say they are optioned? Todd & Leonard try and figure it all out. Also, is DC ‘Batgirling’, ‘Hawkeyeing’ or ‘Marveling’ some of their books? And what book has the chance to be Todd’s most anticipated of the year three years running? All this, what we read last week, what we’re looking forward to this week and some in depth discussion of both the CW’s the Flash and AMC’s the Walking Dead. Would YOU drink the water?

DC almost won this week. They were almost the top story. Then Spider-Man had to ruin everything! Maybe they can commiserate with J. Jonah Jameson about how Spidey ruins everything. Todd & Leonard cover all the new DC titles coming this summer, where Spider-Man fits into the Marvel cinematic universe and so much more. We also talk what we read last week, what we’re looking forward to this week, the results of the next round in our bracket to determine the 2015 Longbox Hero Greatest Comic Book Character. Or something. Not sure what we’re calling it. Also, the show closes with deep discussion of last week’s episode of the CW’s Flash and the return of AMC’s the Walking Dead so spoilers ahoy!
