Ever ventured to Universal Orlando’s Island of Adventure, and taken a walk through Marvel Super Hero Island? It’s great to ride attractions and walk through a theme park experience based on some of your favorite comic book characters, but I’ve got to say, I’m a little bummed that, since the opening of Islands of Adventure […]
Man, my fellow FUNNYBOOKS co-hosts hate it when I talk about solicitations. They don’t necessarily like what’s coming up, especially when it spoils whatever story they’re into. But me, I love reading solicits, and Previews and checking out teasers and preview pages. I mean, if I know I’m going to buy a book, I’ll probably […]
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 […]

We talked about the first few issues of DC Comics on Funnybooks, but given that most the guys didn’t finish reading the series, I decided to take it OFFLINE and talk about here. See, as we mentioned, the whole Return of Bruce Wayne, due to the artistic delays, is already turning into a mess akin […]
Welcome to FUNNYBOOKS OFFLINE, comics-related reviews that just don’t make it into the weekly podcast. It’s similar to Funnybooks After Hours, except that OFFLINE is more review based, whereas AFTER HOURS is more conversation based, and features opinions from the rest of the boys. We don’t always get a chance to talk about all the […]
