    052 - Layla Miller Knows Stuff

    SHORTBOX RETURNS! I am high on cold medicine, so please forgive the lateness of this episode, and the quality of the first 20 minutes. I forgot how to read, which is unfortunate, because the first third of this episode is just me reading my summary of X-Factor (2005) 1-6 with a quick summary of Madrox (2004) 1-5 beforehand. We (briefly) cover the five issue Madrox miniseries from 2004-2005 before jumping into X-Factor (2005) issues 1-6. We are in the House of M fallout and it's covering characters I didn't know before I randomly picked up a new issue 1 halfway through my sophomore year of high school. Is it good? Actually, yeah, it's pretty good. We summarize the books read in the first 20 minutes and then start the conversation with fabio at 20:05. Oh yeah, Fabio is back! Do you like him? I like him. So yeah, this should be a pretty good episode I recorded a little buzzed off cold medicine, please to enjoy! There are some new beats in this episode, provided to me by the singularly genius talent of Bugatti Elroy. Please find him on twitter @bugattielroy

    051 - The Ex-Men

    AND WE'RE BACK! I don't know if that vacation was deserved but it was definitely needed. Fabio returns to the show to help cover the fallout from House of M. First up, we talk House of M: Decimation - The Day After one shot that sets up story threads across existing and new (and returning) titles in the X-world of books and then we cover the three part HOUSE ARREST story that ran in adjective-less X-Men issues 177-179. If you're not interested in the summary, skip ahead to the conversation Fabio and I have at the 15:20 mark. Again, shout out to @bugattielroy for some absolutely killer beats I can't wait to use on the show going forward! I'm glad you like my show, but there are a ton of comic podcasts that I'm obsessed with!

    Shortbox Summary Bonus - Music and Movies of Summer 2005

    2005 was a banner year for comics and everything else. This is the start of our House of M coverage, where Aleah and I break down the music - specifically the pop-punk and alternative songs that dominated our young lives. After that, Collin returns to break down the films we were seeing this summer back when the movies were nothing but magic. Next week we dive deep into the story of House of M, so get ready nerds - it's happening!

    Shortbox Summary 049 - Red, White, and Bruised with This Captioned Life (Captain America White [2008-2015])

    Holy smokes, we did it! Sean from The Captioned Life makes his Shortbox Summary debut to discuss Captain America White, the last book in the Color Series from Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale. The series had an extremely unique wait between its debut issue and follow up, while also having a change in colorist. Not only that, but issue 0 released before the MCU had really become a thing and wasn't completed until after Avengers Age of Ultron had released in theaters. It's a strange book that deserves some dissection, and I couldn't have been happier to dive into it with Sean from This Captioned Life!

    Shortbox Summary 048 - They call me Mello-Yello with None of My Friends Like Comics (Daredevil Yellow [2001])

    AS WE MARCH through the color series by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale, we meet a friend! Nick from None of My Friends Like Comics (@NoComicFriends on twitter), one of my favorite comic podcasts around, joined us to talk about Daredevil Yellow, an examination of Matt Murdock, the man without fear, in his earliest days as the costumed hero of Hell's Kitchen.

    Shortbox Summary 048 - Amazing Spider-man 26 Emergency Pod with Carlos and Garrett

    Emergency Pod We don't talk about modern comics a lot here, but there was a huge announcement today about Amazing Spider-man 26 that couldn't be ignored. So I called up my buddies Carlos and Garrett and we talked about it. This is a spoiler-heavy podcast for a comic that comes out 5/31, so consider yourself warned.

    Shortbox Summary 047 - Mr. Gray Hulk See You Now (Hulk Gray [2003])

    The color series continues! Chad and Andy from The Last Comic Shop stop by to talk about Hulk: Gray, a fantastic retelling of the Hulk's origin by the amazing creative team of Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale (with Matt Hollingsworth on colors). In a conversation you don't want to miss, we all get really honest about the Hulk - why he works, why he doesn't, and where this story lands in the character's library. Like Chad and Andy? Who doesn't!? Check out https://www.lastcomicshoppodcast.com to
