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 […]
My friendly neighborhood gaming group just completed a campaign using the Mortal Coil gaming system. Generally, we are a traditional group, but we’ve played storytelling games before and one game that used a bidding system similar to the one in Mortal Coil and we’ve always found them enjoyable. But Mortal Coil proved to be a […]
On the heels of our interview with Amazing Spider-man scribe Dan Slott, Tim is inspired to bring the energy and bullies the rest of us into doing the same. Join the brow-beaten Aron, Paulie, and Wayne as Tim prods us forward. Aron’s messed up dreams NBC picks up the rights to the Wonder Woman TV […]
The truth of the matter is that Paul drug me to Amazing Spider-man kicking and screaming. I hadn’t read the title in more than ten years and while I loved the character, I’d not been jazzed by a Spider-man story in a long while. Then Paul introduced me to Spidey-scribe Dan Slott’s Big Time, the […]

I grew up on PC Gaming. Sure, I loved playing on my original Nintendo and Gameboy and all that … but my real passion for gaming came not from Super Mario and Link, but from games like Space Quest, Wing Commander, Monkey Island, King’s Quest and, later on, Gabriel Knight. Point and click adventure games […]
CAST OF PLAYERS: Debora Silkotch…………..Casey Gavin…………………………Human Psionic Aron Head……………….Story/Setting/Everything Else…….Game Master ********************************************* “In one drop of water are found all the secrets of all the oceans.” — Kahlil Gibran ********************************************* Casey awakened. She was seated in a hard wooden chair, her wrists locked to the armrests. Her telepathic senses remained dulled. She could not sense […]
It was a sad week for comics. Not only did very little hit the stands for the first week of January 2011, but there was also very little in the way of quality in these books. But don’t despair, there were a couple of winners. Plus, we return to What If We Were Writing…? Join […]

Gooseflesh prickled across her arms. Something — it felt like a metal band — snugly encircled her forehead. Her eyes fluttered to view her surroundings…. …And she was […]
