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.

On day two of Fear the Con 4, your Funnybooks hosts settled down to enjoy some lunch and chat about the con.
