Tales From The Short Box #186 - Robocop Vs Terminator by Frank Miller and Walt Simonson
For this extra spectacular season closer, we decided to invite our buddy @jayrollinsart on to talk about one of his all time favorite comics. And he straight up blew our minds into smithereens with ROBOCOP VS THE TERMINATOR by Frank Miller & Walt Simonson. It's over the top in all the best ways possible, truly capturing the nature of both franchises and throwing in a few extra nukes for good measure.

Tales From The Short Box #185 - The Punisher: Welcome Back Frank by Garth Ennis and Steve Dilon
It's the penultimate episode of the season, and we're finally tackling an all time favorite and probably the most misunderstood comic character in pop culture THE PUNISHER! More importantly, we're diving headfirst into the darkly hilarious world of Garth Ennis & Steve Dillon with the iconic storyline "Welcome Back, Frank!" We dissect where mainstream zeitgeist got ol' Frank all wrong, as well as the most audacious and outlandish kills of any comic book since Preacher itself. It's a friggin blast!

Last Week's Comics #12 - H.P. LoveBoat
It's Wednesday, which means it's time to talk about Last Week's Comics! This week we just barely survive the american dream, a cruise on a liminal-space nightmare, and two guys with metal heads share a vision of the future that involves giant maggot spaceships.

Tales From The Short Box #184 - X-Statix by Mike Allred and Peter Milligan
It's time for part 2 of Adam's creator pick, and this time we're doing X-STATIX by Peter Milligan, Mike Allred, & Laura Allred! Or, more specifically, we did X-Force issues #116-129, after which the team changes their name to X-Statix because... ya know what, just listen to it, we break it all down! We loved looking back at this series with it's satirical take on reality TV and superheroes by way of celebrities. Plus, DOOP. And you know you can never get enough Doop content in your life!
