Funnybooks With Aron And Paulie

In this the biggest comic book news week in years, Paul and Wayne go missing. Slackers.  No commitment, I say.  In the blinding flashpoint of this monumental news they were found wanting, consumed no doubt by fear itself. But that’s okay.  Aron, Tim and Andrew bring it this week. DC’s reboot and day-and-date digital distribution […]

Ron Marz returns to the show to talk about his all new, creator-owned project – Shinku.  Shipping this week from Image Comics, Shinku tells the tale of vampires both in modern-day and feudal Japan.  There are samurai, motorcyles and lots of bloody killing.  It’s a terrific book. We also discuss Ron’s upcoming Green Lantern one-shot […]

Paul has an announcement to make Memorial Day Plans Tim’s small itty bitty banter topic The Mighty Thor #2 Amazing Spider-Man #662 FF #4 Green Lantern #66 Green Lantern Corps #60 Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors #10 Spider-Girl #7 Kirby: Genesis #0 Xombi #3 Just a few weeks left ’til big episode 100.  We’re getting our […]

This week, both Paul and Wayne saw Pirates of the Caribbean, but not together.  It’s not like they’re dating or anything, though they do tend coordinate they’re wardrobe with freakish regularity.  At the theater, they had wildly different experiences.  Be that as it may, we all grooved to this week’s new Green Lantern trailer.  We […]

The first thing you have to understand about Daryl Gregory is that despite all evidence to the contrary he is not in fact British. I know, right? The next thing you need to know about Daryl Gregory?  He’s writing two of the best comics around.  His Dracula: Company of Monsters is simply the best Dracula […]

This week, a lot of folks called in sick… so they didn’t get to join us for our Thwipster.com conversation.  They didn’t get to lament the sad news of NBC’s Wonder Woman decision.  And they didn’t get to ruminate over the Smallville series finale.  That’s fine. Podcasting is done by those who show up.  So […]

Historians will designate the time we find ourselves in as A.T. (After Thor). That’s right, we now live in a world with not just a Thor movie, but an awesome Thor movie. All of your Funnybooks hosts saw it and in this week’s episode, we tell you all about it, Free Comic Book Day and […]

Andrew’s out “sick” this week, so you’ll have to settle for Aron, Paulie, Tim and Wayne. R.I.P.

Really, what’s more in keeping with the Easter season than a podcast with Aron, Paul, Tim and Wayne talking about comics?  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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

This week, after trying him out a couple of times, we welcome Andrew as our newest co-host.  We cover a lot of ground this time.  Aron’s car gets banged up, Paul gets screwed over by his comics-guy, and Andrew continues to chase the He/She as Tim and Wayne mock him. Telltale Games announces Walking Dead […]

The nation thawed out long enough for us to get our comics this week.  With two weeks worth of books to talk about, we needed some extra help.  So Andrew from Back Seat Box Office joined us for the heavy lifting.  Hunker in with Aron, Paul, Tim, Wayne and Andrew for the awesomeness of Super […]

We’ve got so much to talk about this week, we had to bring in some additional help.  Joining us to discuss the week’s comics, the hype around The Last Stand of Johnny Storm and the distressing stripper shortage is official Knights of Reignsborough artist Jake Ekiss.  You may remember Jake from his appearance on Indie […]
