Award-winning Marvel cover artist: Mike Del Mundo stops by the show to talk about his brand-new book: The Marvel Art of Mike Del Mundo.  We talk about landing his first gig with Marvel after impressing editor C.B.

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.
