When Robert Kirkman challenged Todd McFarlane to get back to doing comics, it wasn’t long before they’d announced they were going to be working together. The result: HAUNT! Haunt, written by Robert Kirkman, features pencils by Ryan Ottley (Invincible) and inks by McFarlane. Daniel Kilgore is dragged into his estranged brother Kurt’s secret life of […]
We’ve spoken a ton on Funnybooks about our love for the Top Cow Universe, and our excitement about their upcoming event, Artifacts (preview here). One of Top Cow’s banner titles, The Darkness, is, perhaps, the most consistently well written and drawn book from ANY comic company today. Currently written by Phil Hester, with art (primarily) […]
Tony Chu is a Cibopath, which means that anything he eats gives him a psychic impression – he learns the entire history of anyone who has ever come into contact with that food. Pretty hand for a detective, except that it really keeps him from being able to eat anything but radished, the one food […]
As my buddy (and fellow Funnybooks host) Wayne mentioned earlier today, one of the highlights of this year’s Free Comic Book Day is a “First Look” at Top Cow Comics’ upcoming Artifacts crossover. The crossover, which ties together years of Top Cow continuity, will be written by Ron Marz, with art by some of Top […]

Aron joins the Funnybook Mafia Jonathan chimes in on Millar’s Nemesis Necrosha/Second Coming Siege Update Dark Wolverine New Mutants Cloak […]
As I’ve mentioned before, I LOVE the days of Rob Liefeld’s Extreme Studios – comics like Youngblood, Team Youngblood, Bloodstrike and the rest, which many considered the epitomy of what was wrong in the 90’s, reminds me of days when comics were really a blast. I picked up a ton of Extreme comics recently, reading […]
Aron returns from his journeys across the snow-ravaged lands of New England to rejoin Paul, Wayne, and Jonathan for another rousing discussion of the week in comics… Paul hates on fatties while we talk about Kevin Smith, encroaching, and Smodcast #106 and #107 Geoff Johns and Jim Lee get promotions over at DC Comics and […]
So, according to Variety, television station AMC has greenlit the pilot for a TV show based on Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead comic book. We’re huge fans of The Walking Dead here at IoM (we even got Marvel boy-Jonathan Landreth reading the book!), so of course that’s an exciting enough prospect. Couple with it the […]
Rick Remender, writer of Fear Agent and The Punisher, joins Paul and Jonathan for a discussion on Frankencastle, XXX Zombies, The Last Days of American Crime movie, sex-toys and sodomy – and much, much more! It’s an all-age, no-holes-barred show this week from the good folks at Funnybooks! This post will be on the top […]
We’ve shared much love on Funnybooks with Aron and Paulie for current Haunt/Invincible artist Ryan Ottley, who does pencils over layouts from Greg Capullo (and Todd McFarlane does the inks). So I have awful, awful news…. Ryan Ottley is leaving Haunt! Oh, the horror! The horrible, horrible horror! What will we do now? I mean, […]
