Shortbox Reflections #01 Super-Hero Prose (SS #23, from September 2014) Professor Alan and Em convene to reflect on a nearly 10-year-old episode, discussing the state of super-hero prose novels today, before replaying the episode from 2014 where they talked about the same topic. In the replay portion, they talk about non-comic books that feature superheroes. It's book report time, as the topic for this conversation is "super-hero prose." They talk about novelizations and adaptations, novels featuring DC & Marvel characters, novels featuring original characters, short stories, and even some fan-fiction.
