Usually I don't have much of a problem
working on a blog entry with the t.v. playing
in the background. Normally it's all just background noise reminiscent of the snowy static screen that used to exist when televisions actually had knobs that you could turn to some unused UHF channel. With the ...

TITLE: Cable #43 PUBLISHER: Marvel COVER DATE: May
1997 COVER PRICE: $1.95 20 pages WHAT I REMEMBER...
The cover to this issue is relatively generic, so it doesn't trigger any immediate memories as to what we are in for. The post Age of Apocalypse era of the x-universe has since become a ...

It's time to pick a new book to
review, and being Thursday I usually preamble a little
through this week's books. That's going to be hard to do today, as I haven't cracked a single one open yet. I know, I know...that's heresy! This does, however, give me the opportunity to wish someone a very ...

Sorry for the lax posting of late, but
helping the wife sell her art at Oddmall over
the weekend took precedence. Then couple that with a 24 hour flu virus that came and went like the Juggernaut, and that had me paying more attention to the porcelain bowl than to the posting of what I'm sure ...

It's time to pick a new random book
to review from my collection, but since this is
also new comic book day, that can only mean one thing... That's right, it's time for Comic Book Days of Wednesday's Past! So before we have the Randomizer tell us what book to read, let's fire it up to randomly ...

So the current book up for review is
Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E. #6 , which features a two-part
story guest-starring Young Justice. While reading through the issue and working on my review, it was hard not to see just how much the characters from Young Justice have been changed over the last ten ...

It's that time again where we fire up
the Randomizer for another random jaunt through the longboxes.
Normally, I like to do a bit of bantering before we get to the actual pick, but it's going to be a quick one today. I used up all of my creative inspiration turning a pumpkin into an ...

We've reached another milestone here at Random Longbox
headquarters, as this is our 100th post! Woo hoo!
In reality, it's just an arbritrary number and I'm probably the only one who cares, but if the comic books that we all love so dear can celebrate with oversized issues and foil covers...why ...

So Halloween is just about a week away,
and I'm not usually one of those people who
tend to lose their shit when the month of October rolls around in anticipation. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the holiday well enough, but usually no more involved than seeing the occasional, miniaturized ...

REMEMBER... This book came out a good five years before I started reading comics full time, so to say that I don't remember much is a bit of an understatement. Even when I started reading and ...

It's that time of the week again, as
it's Comic Book Day Wednesday! I was going to
go to the store a little later on, but my work computer just crashed so I think that must be fate telling me that I need to get me some new books. Before I leave, however, lets get the next random pick taken care ...

Longbox encountered him only once so far, and it
