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. This title was different because it didn’t actually involve any violence or superpowers. It […]
From what I can tell of writer Donald Westlake, he seems to have been an interesting guy. He wrote under the pseudonym Richard Stark, and created the hard-boiled character Parker, a no-holds-barred kind of crook who always has a plan and always gets the better of his enemies. 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 […]
This week’s question: You’re hosting a dinner party and can invite comic book character you’d like, who’s on your guest list? Aron answers at once. GHOST (aka Elisa Cameron): Okay, sure. She’s dead and all, but still manages to fight crime. So I imagine she’s up on current events, right? I think she’d be a […]
We’ve got so much to talk about this week, we had to bring in some additional help. Joining us to discuss the week’s comics, the hype around The Last Stand of Johnny Storm and the distressing stripper shortage is official Knights of Reignsborough artist Jake Ekiss. You may remember Jake from his appearance on Indie […]
While everyone is focused on the big death in this week’s Fantastic Four #587, I think we’re far enough away from last week’s other BIG death to talk about it. I’m going to save spoilers until after the jump, but I’ll start by saying that I’ve made no secret that I haven’t been terribly behind […]
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 […]
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 […]
There’s a lot to talk about this week. Wayne got a new bed, Fear the Con’s coming up and – oh yes – comics! So gird your loins and join Aron, Paul, Tim and Wayne for our 79th weekly episode! Wayne saw the Green Hornet The Cape (Marvel) Amazing Spider-Man #651 (Marvel) Captain America: Man […]
