Friend of Funnybooks RAVEN GREGORY is back! And not only has be brought new comic writer Autumn Ivy with him, but he’s brought an all-new creator-owned project, Widow’s Web, and a Kickstarter, with him! Talk to us about Broken Butterfly Comics, your new comic studio. Why was now the time to venture out on your […]
Welcome to the glorious return of Funnybooks Offline … here’s hoping we can keep this a weekly column this time :). So what’s Funnybooks Offline? Well, all your regular co-hosts on Funnybooks read a lot more comics than just the ones we talk about. Great books like Irredeemable, Little Depressed Boy, Wolverine, and others that […]
Now that the first month of Marvel’s Point One Initiative is over, maybe it’s time to take a look at see how successful it’s been. While sales numbers are still forthcoming for February, I’m looking more at the purpose of the initiative – affordable jumping on points that would allow new readers to give the […]
So…as you may have heard in today’s episode of Funnybooks, I loved Pete Tomasi and Patrick Gleason’s first issue on Batman and Robin, issue #20. Patrick Gleason also wrote one of my favorite post-Final Crisis Batman moments, with Alfred saying goodbye to Bruce Wayne in the Batman and the Outsiders Special. It was an emotional […]
In 2008 writer Troy Hickman won the second Top Cow Pilot Season with his title Twilight Guardian. Twilight Guardian was the story of a young woman who was obsessed with being a superhero and went out every night patrolling her neighborhood.

He’s licensed out a couple of his […]
We’ve made no secret of our love for Ron Marz and his work going on in the Top Cow universe. I picked up Witchblade at the beginning, but, like a lot of fans, dropped off somewhere along the lines. I don’t think I had any good reason – looking through the catalog of Witchblade sometime […]
It’s too bad my fellow Funnybooks co-host Tim doesn’t like horror, because 2011 has already proven itself to be a pretty good year for fans of the macabre when it comes to our weekly floppies. Three comics have come out in recent weeks that have all been pretty solid horror entries, and that’s certainly not […]
I know the guys give me a pretty hard time about picking up Grant Morrison’s run on Batman, but I think the one thing that we’ve all come to agree upon is that at least one good thing has come out of it – Damian Wayne. Sure, the character started as a little prick that […]
We talk about a ton of books on FUNNYBOOKS, but not every book we read makes the weekly podcast, especially when only one of us has read it. Still, there’s a bunch of good stuff (and horrible stuff) out there that you’re curious about, and that we’d love to tell you about. Welcome to From […]
