Everyone's favorite big homie, Walter Gant, and I jumped on the phone to talk about both Fantastic Four and Superman movies (SPOILER WARNING FOR BOTH), comics we're currently reading, Kickstarter projects we're backing, and had an overdue Rap-Talk session (discussing the new Clipse, Freddie Gibbs, and Tyler the Creator albums)

THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED AT HEROES CON 2025

The Short Box Podcast: A Comic Book Talk Show Ep. 464:
Badr, BJ Kicks (Comics Are Dope), and Eli Schwab (Cosmic Lion Productions) meet IRL for the first time, in the most comic podcast way possible: At Heroes Con 2025, on a panel together talking about the year in comics so far. The trio discuss their favorite titles and creators, comic book hot takes they probably should've kept to themselves (looking at you, BJ), and Eli gets real personal about how the Diamond Bankruptcy is impacting the lives of indie comic publishers.
