So you may have heard some of our banter in the past.\u00a0 This is more of the same, but with a focus on upcoming books.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mike and I chatted for well over an hour about the comics shipping in May 2009.\u00a0 We covered DC and Marvel in great depth, and then touch on several independent companies.\u00a0 We talk about what to buy, and what not to buy.\u00a0 If you enjoy the episodes of VIEWS FROM THE LONGBOX featuring both of us, or are just curious about what is coming out next month, then check out this podcast. We think you&#8217;ll like it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can listen to it right on <a title=\"The Unique Geek\" href=\"http:\/\/www.theuniquegeek.com\/maycomicspreview\">THE UNIQUE GEEK<\/a> website, or download it from the same place.\u00a0 Enjoy!<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text
