  • Tales From The Short Box #180 - Superman: What Ever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? by Alan Moore
    It's time for RJ's writer pick: none other than the incomparable, the indomitable, the immortal ALAN MOORE! And for his superhero pick, we went with WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE MAN OF TOMORROW? This iconic 2 issue story tells the "final" Superman story, marking the end of Superman's pre-crisis continuity and the silver age itself. Plus, this deluxe hardcover collection includes the other 2 Sups issues that Moore penned: DC Comics Presents #85, and Superman Annual #11: For the Man Who Has Everything. We had an absolute BLAST with these issues, Alan Moore proved once again why he's the G.O.A.T! Support Tales From The Short Box by joining our Patreon! patreon.com/BraveNewWorldsComics

  • Tales From the Short Box #179 - Fables

    Shaun's personal favorite is the topic of this week's episode: FABLES by Bill Willingham, Lan Medina, and Mark Buckingham. Once upon a time, all the characters from all the fairy tales lived together in harmony in their own realm, until one day they were forced into exile in our world. In our new episode, we discuss the first 2 volumes: the murder mystery of who killed Red Rose, and the violent revolt of the "non-human" fables who want to escape the farm. It's a brilliant, fun take on classic characters you *thought* you knew, told in a brand new light

  • Tales From the Short Box #178 - Criminal by Ed Brubaker

    Part two of our ED BRUBAKER double feature continues with CRIMINAL vol. 1 & 2, with art by Sean Phillips and colors by Val Staples.
