Welcome to Longbox Junk, the place to find all the comic reviews you never asked for!
I've said it before and I'm gonna say it again. Of all the different kinds of comic books out there, I'd have to say that my ultimate favorite is the one-shot. To me, the one shot is a supreme test for a creative team.
By giving a team one and ONLY one issue to tell a complete tale, their storytelling ability is put to the test. There's nowhere to hide. No room for error. To fail the test is easy, and actually pretty common. There's PLENTY of bad one-shots haunting the bargain bins. But when a team succeeds? It's often pure Longbox Junk gold!

While pondering how to have a bit of celebration for the 175th Longbox Junk Comic review that nobody ever asked me for, it crossed my mind that there really aren't many comic series that have hit 175 issues recently, thanks to "The Big Two" wanting to promote those SWEET #1 issues, and in the process rebooting most popular series back to #1 every couple of years whether they need it or not.
Now, this isn't really the place for a rant about things like. . .say. . .THE PUNISHER BEING ON FRIGGIN' VOLUME TWELVE NOW. . .for example. No, my friends. There's an old saying about how if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. I've decided to take that saying to heart and reboot Longbox Junk back to that SWEET Collector's item #1!
