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, […]
Who are the Shadowmen? Well, if you’re craving some superhero gaming Actual Play, and the wait for the next episode of Knights of Reignsborough is killing you, why don’t you mosey on over to our buddy ThistleDown John’s Actual Play site and check out his newest Actual Play session, recorded at Fear The Con 4, […]
And so it is April… just a scant month away from Free Comic Book Day and, even more awesome, Free Funnybook Day. It’s April and the birds are singing, flowers are blooming and your histamine levels are rising. It’s April and the lawns are turning as green as Oa. Join Aron, Paul, Tim, Wayne and […]
EDITOR’S NOTE: Jonathan tells us that no show notes are needed for this episode of Cardboard Crack as “the title speaks for itself.” We here at IdeologyofMadness.com are dubious on this point. As such, we’d like to ask you: Does the title indeed speak for itself? Is it truly a ’nuff said sort of situation? […]
Returning to the real world after three days of awesome at Word Wide Wing Night and Fear the Con 4 in St. Louis was brutal for your Funnybooks hosts. But at least Warren Beatty had a good week., what with winning his rights back to make a Dick Tracy film. And, hey, Neonomicon ended with […]
Sure his feet hurt at GenCon, but Wayne’s refreshed with inserts for his shoes at Fear the Con 4. He journaled Indy, and by God he’ll journal St. Louis! Hop on the Wayne Train for an all access pass to last week’s Fear the Con!
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Paul’s away from the microphone this week and he decided to take that irritating echo with him. So while Aron, Tim, Wayne and Andrew wait for Charlie Sheen to dial in, we chat about all manner of subjects. For instance we mourn the loss of comics and animation luminary Dwayne McDuffie, Tim applies some savage […]
