Shortbox Summary

CARLOS RETURNS. Dude has recommended I read a lot of books, and none of them have been bad, so when Carlos brought up Spider-man/Doctor Octopus Year One, I had to check it out. It's a retelling of a single issue of Amazing Spider-man 3 from 1963 across multiple issues, so we go back, and cover the first appearance of the character, and this delightful miniseries from 2004 made just in time for the sequel movie!

Richard returns to Shortbox Summary to finish our discussion about Batman Hush. It's one of the best selling comics of the 2000's, but is it good? Well, yes, but mostly no. Usually no. Is it your first Batman comic? If so, yes, it's good... ish. See how we landed on our opinions!

We take a break from Marvel to talk about one of the hottest books of the early 2000's, Batman HUSH by Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee! It's one of the most important comics of the last 20 years, but is it any good? Well, yes and no. Special guest Richard Fairgray makes his Shortbox debut to discuss what works and what doesn't in this deep dive back to the year 2002. Strap in, champions, this is a long one! We start talking about Batman 608 at 00:54:17 if you want to jump right into the story!

It's 2003, and the last major comic book movie to come out this year wasn't a Marvel or DC superhero, but The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen! This movie was HOSED upon release but y'know what? It's actually pretty decent. Listen to George, Aaron, and Collin break down why.

CARLOS RETURNS to discuss the second half of the disproportionately maligned Spider-man crossover, THE OTHER. Peter is dead... or is he? We talk about our feelings on the controversial Spidey story, how it ended, other Spidey stories to check out, and what's to come down the pipeline for your friendly neighborhood Spider-man.

Please follow Carlos on twitter at @carlos_esconde and Shortbox Summary at @purplebird616 and hit us up with questions, comments, concerns as we approach the House of M and Civil War era of mid-2000's Marvel

The Parker Luck is never a good thing but seldom has it been this bad! In fact, things were so bad, we had to bring in a Peter Parker expert to help break everything down in THE OTHER (Evolve or Die): a Spider-man crossover event!

Find Carlos on Twitter at @carlos_esconde and hit up him up with any Spider-man questions you may have!

The Jackalope crew is back together to discuss a certified banger of a movie - X2 X-Men United! Put your shoes on and take a walk with us back to 2003, when movies were shot on location or had sets built and the effects were more or less practical.

Guests: Aaron, Marty, Kyle

Wolverine is mad. Really mad. But that's ok because his claws are sharp. REALLY SHARP! He's on the revenge path and I've got some buddies from @LastComicShop to talk about it! From the minds of Mark Millar and John Romita Jr., and the voices of Chad Smith and Andy Larson, here's an extra special episode of Shortbox Summary, please enjoy!

On November 10, 2022, beloved voice actor Kevin Conroy passed away. Although a working actor for more than 40 years, he's probably best known for his portrayal of Bruce Wayne and Batman on WB's Batman: The Animated Series. My friend Collin stops by Studio H to help me talk about Mask of the Phantasm, a landmark film for the character, for animation, and the start of something special from WB.

It's movie week again at Shortbox! This week Aleah and George tackle Daredevil from 2003, starring Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, and Collin Farrell in... honestly, we didn't live this movie. There's a lot to like. Maybe. Sort of. Butttt we did have a great time talking about the movie because it is 2003 as hell and this podcast is all about that post Y2K life.
