As you know, BOOM! Studios is launching a new ongoing HELLRAISER comic book series written by Clive Barker that will be released in comic stores everywhere on Wednesday March 23rd, 2011 (that’s TODAY!). This is only the third time that Clive has “touched” the characters — the first with his novella “THE HELLBOUND HEART” and […]
I know, like you need another jack-wagon writing about how awesome Fear The Con was right? Well, I do this for two reasons. The first reason is that I feel like there are some points that haven’t been brought up that could make for some decent reading. The second reason is that I found out […]
On day two of Fear the Con 4, your Funnybooks hosts settled down to enjoy some lunch and chat about the con. Since Wayne was otherwise engaged, John Stephens of Thistledown Actual Play was employed to fill the role of Fake Wayne (aka False Wayne or Fool’s Wayne). We were joined by comedian Mikey Mason […]
Editor’s Note: This is the first of our Fear The Con 4 coverage. FTC4 kicks off tonight with World Wide Wing Night and continues through Saturday night. Check back often as the Ideology of Madness crew update the feed with pics, commentary and after game reports. Now, enjoy episode 2 of Funnybooks Unlimited! Paul’s afraid. […]
This is the oddest friggin’ thing I’ve ever seen. For $50, you can rent out the “Batman Suite” at the Eden Hotel in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan…for three hours. So, clearly, they expect you to go in and have sex, and then leave the Batsheets sticky (actually, crackly after 2 hours and 57 minutes post-coital snuggling). […]
Remember on a recent episode where we talked about the many, many Flashpoint tie-in mini-series and how we were going to wait to see what they were before we decided if we were going to buy them or not? Well, DC has announced, via its Source blog, all of the mini-series, and whereas some of […]
In the week prior to Fear the Con 4, Aron gets an iPad2 and speaks of it in glowing terms bordering on the inappropriate while Paul has a lot of explaining to do. There’s also the Trade Paper Back and Sock Incidents to discuss. And comics. New Avengers #10 Wonder Woman #608 Ultimate Spider-Man #155 […]
After an initial arc that blew our socks off, the second arc of Uncanny X-Force, “Dethlok Nation,” is off to a rocky start. Still, I’ve got high hopes for the title, including an arc that seems like it’ll involve “Age of Apocalypse” characters, followed by something Marvel released a teaser for late last week…The Dark […]
Paul returns this week, but leaves that echo of his behind while we find ourselves lusting after the iPad2 and giddy with the anticipation of Fear the Con 4. Join Aron, Paul, Tim, Wayne and Andrew for another podcast episode full of comics, and yes, He/She Update Week 3! Annihilators #1 Astonishing Thor #3 Avengers […]
I’m a HUGE Guillermo Del Toro fan. He has, without a doubt, one of the most amazing visual minds of anyone working in media today. It’s no wonder that everyone wants to work with Del Toro, from Disney to video game companies to novelist Chuck Hogan. Del Toro has a lot of ideas when it […]
