There are a lot of Marvel cartoons that I never got around to seeing, but were always curious about. Shows like Spider-Man Unlimited, Silver Surfer, the 90’s Iron Man and Fantastic Four cartoons. Some are available on DVD, but most only have one season available, or, even worse, just a couple of episodes. Thankfully, Marvel […]
So, two recent announcements have me a little concerned/happy. Well, one has me downright sad. It seems as if Scott Snyder’s AWESOME arc on Detective Comics is coming to an end after ten issues (see Newsarama). This is the first time I’d read that his run was actually limited. Not only that … only ten […]
So national booksellers Barnes and Noble have announced that they will be expanding their comic selection, starting in June, to include single issue comics (and not just the couple of books). Barnes and Noble “will begin carrying both Marvel and DC Comics titles that until now have only been available in comics specialty stores.” Not […]
For months now we’ve been extolling the virtues of Image Comics’ Morning Glories by one of our favorite writers, Nick Spenser, with the spectacular pencils of Joe Eisma. Morning Glory Academy is one of the most prestigious prep schools in the country… but something sinister and deadly lurks behind its walls. When six gifted, but […]

Whether you’re celebrating the resurrection of the living God or enjoying an off-the-hook pagan fertility ritual, clearly this is the podcast for you. Business cards Tim’s nerd date Roger Langridge and R-rated superhero comics […]
There was a whole interesting conversation on Twitter the other day (largely in part to this post on Robot 6) about what constitutes an “all ages” book, and why they typically don’t last very long, and the issues with marketing “R-Rated Superheroes” to children. There are some great all ages books out there in the […]
We’re a little late to the game on this … but any trailer where WE’RE QUOTED is certainly worth repeat viewing. In a recent episode of Funnybooks, Wayne and I talked about our love of Zenescope’s upcoming series Fly, written by friend of IoM Raven Gregory. The series, due to start this June, is definitely […]
If you’ve listened to this week’s episode of Funnybooks, you know that Aron and I really dug the Marvel one-shot Captain America: The Fighting Avenger, from writer Brian Clevinger (Atomic Robo) and artist Gurihiru. Originally meant to be a kind of companion title to Thor: The Mighty Avenger (and you know how much Aron loved […]

Let’s face it. This was not the most spectacular week in comics. With a few noteworthy exceptions, it’s a rather lackluster stack of books. That’s probably the reason we spend so much time in this episode talking about movies such as SUCKER PUNCH and GREEN LANTERN, Back Seat Box Office and Nanna. Join Aron, Paul, […]
