Perfect timing, I was just looking back through Green Arrow. As far as long runs go, I think the only recent ones you missed are Taylor's Nightwing and Phillip Kennedy Johnson on Action Comics.
Al Ewing’s run on Immortal Hulk was also a recent but pretty long and influential run. PKJ might also have a long run for his ongoing Hulk series as well (fingers crossed).
I hope these episodes never stop coming out. Would love to hear Bendis talk about his Daredevil run, Johns on his Green lantern run, Morrison on their Batman/Final Crisis books, Simone on her secret six/birds of prey, I mean the list goes on.
As a younger comic consumer I wish we still had longer runs like bendis on avengers, or Claremont on xmen I hate learning a great run is ending sometimes even worse when it’s editorial ending it when a writer isn’t finished if it’s good
Theres a DC Nation article where Dan DiDio said All Star Superman was going to continue as an ongoing with Morrison, just with a different artist after he finished his run with Quietly. Obviously that never happened, but I'm curious to know what it wouldve looked like
I think it would've been like the N52 Action Comics run. Since Morrison's Superman work takes place during different eras of the character's life it either could've been filling the gap between the end of All Star and JLA 1 Million or it could've been how Supes got started in Morrison's timeline for the character
It'll be like a mini-Con on May 3rd! Looking forward to it! And I am happy to learn my love of Flash War is justified. That for me is still peak Flash stories. And, I know this may he blasphemy, for me, a much more satisfying handing off of the torch story than we got in the 80's.
A recent/current “long” run that is one of my favs is Moon Knight by Jed McKay and Co. really great comics that went 30 issues and is still going with Vengenace of Moon Knight!
Nowadays 30 issues is a long run but normally I would consider hitting the 50 mark to be a long run, 25-30 issues should be the norm and 6-12 issues for minis
Can't wait for the live show. Also my Favorite long runs have to be Sandman and Starman. Probably my most recent favorite might be Tom King's Batman as well.
WWE just entered a *NEW ERA* with HHH at the top. Perfect opportunity to jump into WWE for anyone interested. Past Wrestlemanias (including the most recent) are on Peacock and the weekly RAW, Smackdown, and NXT shows are on Hulu.
One this is for sure, a mid book with multiple writers in a short span looks terrible compared to a mid book w a single writer for many years. At least the latter has a cohesive tone and language.

I feel like there was a whole discussion about all star batman and robin the boy wonder left on the cutting room floor
Great chat guy's
1980s for me. Crisis on Infinite Earths, Dark Knight Returns, Watchmen, Miller Daredevil, Claremont X-Men

I really appreciate directors commentaries in that regard. It feels like a oral history In a sense, but gives them sth to talk about
This is easily my favorite podcast about comics. I learn so much, thank you both.
Never forget immortal hulk hit 50
I almost did, until you reminded me. lol
Man johsua is really good at recognizing and aligning the different eras of batman and spider-man
Williamson been going so crazy with his writing. Really good work in his EU and Superman in particular
Don't forget about Tom Waltz and Kevin Eastman. They did TMNT at IDW for 100 issues straight. That was a good long run.

The dc rebirth era was super exciting to me personally!
This was an awesome stream! Sal you did great. Every guest was so nice and were such fans of comics. Hope you all can do it again sometime. 🤘
Josh is my favorite writer so it's always fun to listen to these podcasts.

Dude the invincible backwords are sooooo rich. Lots of hidden gold in there
I love his Superman run it’s been so good and made me get back into Superman again
I'm watching this enjoying my Coke Zero with Sal 😂

Listening while getting morning brew together goddang i love coffee, only thing better than coke zero 😉
25+ issues feels like a long run to me definitely. But that's good usually
I have a question for Josh, do you ever wanna write a Supersons book set in the current time?
OHHHHH the livestream sounds exciting!!!
Whoop whoooop love conversations like this!
I love these talks
Always fun when it's Josh!
Since I only read hickmans F4 it’s my favorite
I like a nice run, 24 issues makes for a nice substantial trade size. Love a good 36+ issue omni.
Nightwing
Can’t wait for May !
Will Jon kent ever appear in House of Brainiac or no?
Future foundation Spider-Man for the Win!!!!
this is great!
This is great
Yay!
