Wow. Here we are, the end of the road. We finally (a month later, but who's counting?) discuss the week 4 DCnU 52 comics (warning: spoilers!).

It's time to start the second half of our conversation about DC's new 52 number one issues, specifically, Travis and I talk about the week 3 comics (warning: spoilers!). Have a listen to find out which titles we liked or didn't like (and why), and whether they were new reader friendly.

Ok, normally, I would just post a list of stuff from the various publishers, but for this month's Previews, I did an audio version for the LBR podcast (58:03). I apologize in advance for the choppy/echo-y audio starting at about the 23 minute mark, though the bad spots come and go. I tried fixing the problem, but was not that successful, and I didn't want to rerecord more than half of the episode. :)

Anyhoo, here's a look at what interested me while looking at this month's Previews catalog for stuff shipping in December and beyond.

Thanks for listening!

What did Travis and I think of week 2 of DC's new 52 (warning: spoilers!)? Have a listen to find out which titles we liked or didn't like (and why), and whether they were new reader friendly (just like last time).

So, how did you like the week 2 titles? Do you think we're spot on or just crazy? Be sure to leave comments on our blogs, you can send email to [email protected], or if you're on Twitter, message @longboxreview or @the_gaunt_man. We would love to hear from you!

Just like everyone else in the comic book podcastosphere, Travis and I discuss DC’s new 52 initiative, starting with the first 13 comics released the first week of September (warning: spoilers!). We talk about which titles we liked or didn’t like (and why), and whether they were new reader friendly.

So, let us know what you think. Do you agree or not with our assessments? Leave comments here, send email to [email protected], or if you’re on Twitter, message @longboxreview or @the_gaunt_man. We would love to hear from you!

In anticipation of the new DC 52, Travis and I finish our discussion (1:34:55) about the end of the DCU as represented by Flashpoint #5, and transition into the DCnU with Justice League #1. Towards the end we discuss the price per page of our comics, and one of us gets pissed at Marvel (can you guess which one?). Also, we go totally fan boy with our discussion about Wonder Woman's new costume (pants or shorts?).

Since it took me a little over two months to release a new episode, I now give you more comic talk goodness. Episode 7 was released a few days ago, and now Travis and I continue our conversation about some final DC titles. Specifically, we talk about the end to Birds of Prey, Justice League of America, Secret Six, Zatanna, and Batman. Being the talkative twosome that we are, we end up not just talking about the final issues, but our impressions of the whole run, characters, and creators. We also ponder which is better: a late, but quality book, or a filler issue. Also, the evils of an incorrect solicitation.

And if that wasn't enough, we also talk about some newish Marvel titles that we've read, specifically, Daredevil, Moon Knight, Alpha Flight, and Punisher. So buckle up, hang tight, and enjoy this super-sized episode (2:25:45)!

After a bit of a break (apologies to my subscribers for that), we're back to talk about some (now old) news from Fan Expo and some of the final DC titles before the new 52 starts. Specifically this episode (1:00:20) we discuss Batman & Robin #26 and Batgirl #24. We spend so much time discussing Fan Expo news and those two titles that I decided to split up the conversation into multiple parts (which is why I say we'll take a break and then the episode ends), so look for part 2 very soon!

Remember that you can send me feedback about what you've listened to, suggest topics, and ask me or Travis questions about anything comic related. To do that, you can send email to [email protected] or, if you're on Twitter, message @longboxreview. It would be great to hear from you!

For Episode 6 (1:26:55), Oddfellow and I talk about a great many things, despite the fact that we tried to talk about one thing in particular, but when you're having a great conversation sometimes you just go with the flow. :)

Some things we discuss:

• The expanded Justice League line-up
• Event books
• More DC Relaunch reactions, especially regarding Justice League Dark and Deadman
• Retailer reaction to DC's Relaunch
• DC's advertizing strategy
• Movie talk: Green Lantern and a little about X-Men: First Class (ok, me trying to convince Oddfellow he should go see it)

Finally, I wanted to thank my daughter, Brittany, for creating the theme that opens the show.

Thanks for listening!
