Here's world renowned comic writer, @jimzub.bsky.social explaining why Conan is STILL one of the most iconic and popular characters in not just the sword and fantasy genre, but all of pop-culture
January 15, 2026 at 4:30 PM
Besides Conan comics, what's best in life?

I think @jimzub.bsky.social and @comicstitan.bsky.social might know

I remember getting our first local magazine coverage and thinking, “WOW. This is the top, there's nowhere else to go with this podcasting thing”

LOL. I was short by a couple of years and not dreaming big enough.

Anyway, thank you to everyone that has ever pressed play!

I wish I could travel back in time to tell this baby face kid to take this podcast thing more seriously, and take more photos!

FYI, 13 years ago, The Short Box podcast made its debut with our first ever episode.

There's plenty more soundbites where that came from, on this week's podcast with @gronbekk.bsky.social , including a pretty funny convo about trying a Twinkie for the first time with Jason Aaron, and feeding Brian K. Vaughn's family reindeer

She also talked about living in the woods in Norway and surviving the winters. I don't know if I could do without the sun for months, but Norway sounds pretty cozy during Christmas

First, I know I'm late to this, but the origin of her name is already pretty badass (Torunn = "Thor's love"), and the fact she started her career with Thor? This is some Lifetime movie shit!

You can't walk into a comic shop now and NOT see @gronbekk.bsky.social name on several high-profile books

Some highlights from my convo with a real-life Norwegian badass comic writer 🧵

Since @heritageauction.bsky.social has been in the news for setting another world record for a comic book sale, I think it's a perfect time to remind everyone of the auctioneer who yet again is part of comic history:

Yoo! New SBX Merch is here. I'm talking about all new shirt designs, and for the first time ever: long sleeves and hoodies!

And none of that DTG bullshit, these will be high quality screen printed on Comfort Colors.

Pre-orders going on now!

There's plenty more hip-hop stories and comic book talk where that came from, as well as some great introspection about fatherhood and creating art for the next generation, in the full interview

And we can't forget about the merch game! Czarface takes it to another level when it comes to their branding and visuals
November 12, 2025 at 3:26 PM
Talking about the overlap between the two art forms of comics & hip-hop, Esoteric points to both art forms overexaggerated sense of confidence and cartoonish violence and braggadocio
November 12, 2025 at 3:26 PM
Still trying to wrap my head around this one: We almost got Big L, Inspectah Deck, and Esoteric on the same track. Esoteric talks about the forming the group and some early song ideas:

Everything about Czarface, from the music, branding, and merchandise, is all steeped in Silver-Age comic book lore. And it's not just for show.

A few highlights from my conversation with group member @czarfaceeso.bsky.social 🪡

You guessed it, David and Chip are both on this week's SBX pod talking about digital collectibles vs NFT, the golden years of Comixology, creator rights and equity, and what the future holds for DSTLRY

Co-founder @chipmosher.bsky.social, expresses how Neon Ichiban is an extension of the two sides of comic fandom: Readers & Collectors 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽

Here, @stonemtn.bsky.social talks about the three key features that set Neon Ichiban apart from other digital comic platforms and storefront: 1. Resellability 2. Commissionable remarques and 3. Downloadability
November 5, 2025 at 7:28 PM
From the people who brought us Comixology and @dstlry.bsky.social, comes a bold new step into the future for digital comics:
