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?

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!

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!

How does one publish print comics featuring characters owned by another company? When does a “Fan Fest” become an attack? Why isn’t Captain America’s favorite team the Dallas Cowboys? And how, at the tender age of 37, could Leonard just now figure out all good things must come to an end?

Marvel had a big announcement this week and it’s all about the pizza. Or maybe comics. Or a secret. Anywho, Todd & Leonard try and get to the bottom of it. And we conduct a long game experiment. And compare the cast of It’s Always Sunny to one of the most popular franchises in history. It gets weird. All that and so much more!

It’s a slow news week but plenty of books to discuss. Also, the fears of the lasting effects of Axis, can certain characters come back or are they too far gone, could certain books have done better elsewhere and an idea for a million dollar spinoff.  All this and so much more!  Spend New Year’s Eve with Todd and Leonard!

You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both you have the DC March Solicitations. Lots of books being cancelled, perhaps for a bigger picture and maybe that bigger picture is those fancy variants. Speaking of variants, how many different covers does Marvel’s Star Wars #1 need? Will we reach triple digits? Also, one of the longest running comics of all time being relaunched with one of the best creative teams of all time? You betcha!

Bad news everyone! No, not really, not ALL bad news. We’ve finally been told what all those Marvel Summer 2015 teasers are about. We know some of what will be coming out of Convergence. But Leonard and Todd are going to try and make lemonade out of the lemons of Fantastic Four movie news and first time celebrity writers on their favorite books.

How has your week been? If you are a movie made by Marvel, it was pretty good. Marvel dropped the first trailer for the Avengers sequel and announced the third phase of their movie franchises and we talk about it all. Also, if you live in Riverdale, things might be pretty cool too. This does lead to tangents of other shows cancelled before their time and said write in campaigns to save them. Do they work? Will the Flash or AMC’s the Walking Dead need them? Probably not, since they are still going strong.
