Longbox Heroes episode 738: Local Dialects
This week, we look at the full slate of Free Comic Book Day 2025 offerings and investigate Twisted Comics, compare Predator crossing over with other Marvel characters as opposed to other movie properties in comics, Boom losing two big licensed properties and more Diamond woes. We also remind you of some Final Order Cut Off dates for two books we think you’ll not want to miss! Beckie revisits Israel Waldman, his cohorts Sol Brodsky and Al Heweston in this week’s My Walk Down Lois Lane, What We Read Last Week, talking the fun and frivolity of slashers in Kyle Starks latest offering, What We’re Looking Forward to This Week, Todd & Joe Have Issue re-read of Gail Simone’s Secret Six crosses over with Doom Patrol, we talk Todd’s pick for overrated stories and should the Doom Patrol just go back to Vertigo already, the schedule change for Star Wars Skeleton Crew and so much more!
