While Jonathan is off on a secret mission (shhh!), Aron, Paul, Wayne, and Tim talk about him behind his back, honor a fallen hero, and discuss the week’s comics. War of the Supermen #4 Thor 610 Secret Avengers 1 Fantastic Four 579 Thunderbolts 144 Listener Mail Brightest Day Update Green Lantern Corps 48 Green Lantern […]
In this week’s interview, we chat with Ron Marz, creator of the crab-mask-wearing Green Lanterm, Kyle Rayner. Ron is the current writer of Top Cow’s Witchblade, Magdalena, and Velocity. We talk to him about stuffing women into refrigerators and all those artifacts in the Top Cow-niverse! It’s an awesome primer we have for Artifacts. Check […]
Your Funnybooks with Aron and Paulie hosts are super-excited about Top Cow’s upcoming Artifacts crossover, which began with a zero issue released on Free Comic Book Day and continues with Artifacts #1 this July! The FCBD issue of Artifacts introduced readers to the 13 Artifacts and mythology of the Top Cow Universe, including The Witchblade […]
I really enjoyed the first Unbeatable graphic novel, from writer Matthias Wolf and artist Carlos Gomez (check out my review here), but found it not the easiest book to review. The art makes it seem like you’re in for a fun action romp, but Unbeatable is anything but. I mean, sure there’s a ton of […]
When was the last time you saw a children’s novel that had a cover like this? Skulduggery Pleasant: Mortal Coil is due out this September in jolly ol’ England. If you haven’t been reading this series, read my reviews for books three and four…and just buy the damn books. Thank me later. Image from writer […]
In our “Free Comic Book Day” episode of Funnybooks, Wayne and I spoke at length about our excitement for Radical Publishing’s upcoming series Time Bomb, a time travel WWII adventure that really excited us with an excellent preview in the FCBD book. Well, Radical has officially announced a release date for the book – this […]
…because it’s sold out! Surely it happened because we gave it such a positive review in a recent episode of Funnybooks. Congrats to Ron Marz and Top Cow – this book definitely deserves to be a hit. Plus, I hear that it’s ongoing now, not just a mini series. Good news for all. MAGDALENA #1 […]
It was bound to happen. Paul was whisked screaming into the jungle by the smoke monster. Screaming. Like a little girl. We mourn his loss as he’d want us to, by talking about the week’s comics. Paul’s away this week, apparently testifying before Congress Wayne is all that and a bag of chips Aron sucks […]
Fred Van Lente is a tease. Seriously, the writer of such books as Iron Man: Legacy, Incredible Hercules, Marvel Zombies, Amazing and Web of Spider-Man teases all kinds of hot, gooey awesomeness in his interview with Paul. He’s got lots of stories in the pipeline at Marvel and he talks all about ’em in this […]
I’m not a fan of novels that flaunt their influences, particularly when I’m familiar with the influences in question. It’s like paying to see a new band and discovering only after the set begins that you’re watching a cover band. The music may be competent, but if you wanted to hear those songs, you could […]
