Views From The Longbox Presents – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Welcome back to Views From The Longbox...now on a brand new feed, so be sure to update your subscriptions...if you were subscribing...which would be nice...but no pressure.

Anyway, this time out I am very proud to present an interview with writer Ron Marz to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Kyle Rayner version of Green Lantern. Ron tells us how he got the writing gig, how much of a time crunch he was under for the first few issues, when he found out about Hal being the big bad of Zero Hour, how he viewed the relationship between Kyle and Hal, as well as the dynamic Kyle had with the Wally West Flash and what it was like working on the DC vs. Marvel event.

Ron and I also discuss how the death of Alex in the early part of his series has become the poster child for women getting killed to further the story of the male protagonist. I have to admit I didn't know how Ron was going to react to the question, but his answer was very thoughtful and one of the highlights of the interview for me.

We also touch on the Zero Hour 30th Anniversary Special that is coming out the same day that this episode is dropping!

I wanted to once again thank Ron for being so generous with his time and being a really fun interview.

Next Time: No clue. But it will be about comic books. Maybe.

(Note...this episode was previously released on the original Views feed. I decided to repost it here to get this feed going. Weird that the last episode of the old show starts the feed to the new one.)

Back on June 13, 2007 the first episode of Views From The Longbox was loosed upon an unsuspecting world.

Now, 17 years later, I’m releasing episode 277, which, if you add up all of the specials and point whatever episodes and the side shows, is the 300th episode of Views.

And I wanted to go big.

So, last year Shag, one of my best friends and long time semi-regular co-host, and I sat down to record a follow up to our episode on the DC Cosmic Cards trading card series by looking at the DC Cosmic Teams Cards. And we had a ball doing it. Not only did we give each other good natured hard times throughout the episode, but we also got to dive into what is essentially a time capsule for DC Comics circa 1992/1993. We talk about L.E.G.I.O.N., the Justice Leagues that existed at the time, Superman’s foes, the New Titans, the Team Titans, the Justice Society of America and so much more. We even cover the holograms. It was a lot of fun.
