  • Celluloid Heroes

    Celluloid Heroes on the Longbox Crusade is my new favorite podcast. I love the look back at 70s and 80s movies, but really enjoy the host’s ongoing story about what those movies meant to him and a whole generation of kids. The personal touch is what separates this podcast from so many other movie podcasts.

  • You’ll Believe a Megatron can Fly!

    The Marvel run of the Transformers comic books series gets the LBC treatment, with honest takes on the classic series from longtime fans and relative newbies alike. The enthusiasm is strong, even during issues that may be “less loved” than others, and the conversations are always fun and as refreshing as pure energon :)

  • Comic shop talk perfected

    Love if Transformers, G. I. Joe, New Warriors and more. These guys talk about any and everything remotely related to the topic at hand and I love it. Plenty of ear worms and ridiculous running jokes from a group of friends with a noble purpose of reading comics.

Comics To Console Crusade - Episode 12: The Punisher (2005)
Q: How does the game capture the essence of the Punisher comic?
The panel agrees it captures the early 2000s Punisher vibe, especially the Welcome Back, Frank era, with authentic voice acting and a grim, violent atmosphere that mirrors the comics and ties to the movie.
Come Out to Play… A New Warriors Podcast - Episode 52: New Warriors Vol.1 #52
Q: What do you think about the cover and the art style for issue 52?
We think Richard Pace delivers high-energy, dynamic pages with strong splash panels, though some prefer Bagley or Robertson for certain sequences; overall the cover communicates speed, danger, and the clash with Psionex.
