Note: portions of this review originally appeared in March, 2009. It’s an absolute travesty that The Spectacular Spider-Man animated series has been canceled in favor of an Ultimate spider-Man reboot. Remember when we, as fans, compared the live action 90’s Batman movies to the Batman animated series, and the movie, Mask of the Phantasm, and […]
Damn right! I’m profanity laced tonight, so you know what? Bruce Wayne may be the goddamn Batman, but now he’s just one of two! There’s also the mutha-f*ckin’ Batman, Dick Grayson! What, you say? Yup…you know how we always get pissed when, just as we’re getting used to the replacement in a character’s suit, they […]
And there came a day, a day unlike any other, when Earth’s mightiest podcasters found themselves united against a common threat. On that day, Funnybooks with Aron and Paulie (and Their Amazing Friends) was born — to fight the foes no single podcaster could withstand! Paul’s been robbed! Aron saw The Last Exorcism Green Arrow […]

Not only did it feature the first big altercation between then-head of HAMMER Norman Osborn, […]

Finally able to grasp the concept of the difference between US time and England time, your Funnybooks hosts Wayne and Paulie have a nice little chat with comic book, video game, novel writer and all around nice guy Antony Johnston. In our second Shadowland interview, we talk about his work on the Daredevil tie-in issues […]
As Brand New Day reaches its end, it’s hard to imagine that it’s been over 100 issues since the storyline began (due to the thrice-monthly schedule). There have been so many storylines in those 100 issues that it would be no small feat to find a way to catch up on them all. Still, one […]
When it was announced that popular horror filmmaker Guillermo del Toro would be co-writing a novel, lots of fans were super excited about it. Though I don’t subscribe to the opinion that everything he touches turns to gold, I am a del Toro fan, and find all of his films imaginative, if not enjoyable. Though […]
In this week’s episode, all the boys are in the hizzouse. As such, Wayne takes a moment to set the record straight. Jonathan regales us with tales of his victorious turn at a Magic tournament and explains why he didn’t come home with a new car. Plus, Aron and Jonathan fight! All this and we […]
