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 […]
In this week’s extraordinarily disorganized episode of Funnybooks, Paul, Wayne, and Jonathan talk about all manner of mildly interesting, and semi-comic book related, topics. Paul’s alcoholism Why Heroes sucks, but apparently Lost is good Jonathan keeps trying to convince people that Eddie Brock should be Spider-Man, Sentry is a cool character, and that X-Men: Second […]
I felt myself getting a little sad this week, reading issue #4 of Escape from Wonderland, knowing that only two issues were left in the beloved Wonderland series from friend of IoM, Raven Gregory. I’ve enjoyed this series since its very first issue, and it’s always at the top of my read pile whenever it […]
Marvel just keeps pumping out Heroic Age announcements, more than likely to reveal all the biggest news before solicitations do. It’s a shame that more of this stuff isn’t being kept secret (well, except the Secret Avengers), but there’s definitely a ton of stuff coming up that we’re going to be spending our hard-earned cash […]
Eisner Award winning writer Matt Fraction joins the conversation this week. We chat about his stellar work on Iron Man, his upcoming run on Thor, Free Comic Book Day, and the return of Kitty Pryde. Please note that this post will be at the top through Thursday – play it in a pop up window […]

While my buddy Gary and I were at the Dallas Comic Con last week, Booster Gold and I teamed up. Rip Hunter tasked us with the mission to travel back in time to smother Grant Morrison in his sleep before he could write Final Crisis and Batman and Robin. As you’ve no doubt observed, we […]
That’s right. I’m in this month’s episode of The Variants in a critically acclaimed turn as Customer #6. Super. Star. Like Charisma Carpenter, I now charge for my autograph. This is an excellent episode. It is easily my favorite thus far of the series (and not just because I’m in it). The hot tub scene […]
