Last week in Funnybooks, we talked about the books we’re supposed to like, but don’t. The title I referenced is Y: The Last Man. Despite my deep admiration for Brian K. Vaughan’s writing and Pia Guerra’s pencils, I just didn’t dig it. But many, many others have! I mean, c’mon, it won an Eisner Award. […]
In our mind-blowing 69th episode…. ARON HEAD IS MISSING! While we try to figure out if he’s still at the Asian massage parlor, or if Jason Voorhees is systematically taking out Funnybooks hosts, Paul, Tim and Wayne try to muscle up enough gusto to talk about this week’s mediocre comic book selection. Along the way, […]

MacCready and Childs sit out in the snow, unsure if either is the creature, […]
This time, we kick around character concepts. Each of the players presents three different character ideas, they are discussed and then the group votes on their preferences with the player making the ultimate decision as to which one will be played. Some terrific ideas are pitched. Plus, a terrible secret is teased…! Join Aron, Paul, […]

Welcome to FUNNYBOOKS OFFLINE, comics-related reviews that just don’t make it into the weekly podcast. It’s similar to Funnybooks After Hours, except that OFFLINE is more review based, whereas AFTER HOURS is more conversation based, and features opinions from the rest of the boys. We don’t always get a chance to talk about all the […]
