Funnybooks With Aron And Paulie

We’ve been at this podcast business for a year now.  We’ve had 52 weekly episodes (this is episode 53), plus 24 New Comic Book Day Interviews. In a podcast chock full of awesome transitions, we talk about summer movies, reflect on how a year’s worth of comics podcasting has changed us, and talk about the […]

The X-Men are about to face their deadliest threat…Vampire A Go-Go Girls of the Apocalypse!  No, that’s not right…but they are about to start a brand new ongoing series, an adjectiveless X-Men #1, written by Vampire A Go-Go and Go-Go Girls of the Apocalypse novelist Victor Gischler!  Not only that, the premiere of the series […]

You’d think we didn’t talk every week.  We had a crazy ton to talk about.  From DC’s entry into digital comics, ethics of mail-order, talking about Ron Marz’ Twitter comments from last week, and – oh yes – the week’s comics.  Join Aron, Paul, Wayne, and Tim as we crank out an old school epic […]

Green Arrow #1 comes out this week.  To celebrate, we have Green Arrow writer J.T. Krul! In this week’s New Comic Book Day Interview, we chat with J.T. (call him J.T.  Never call him Jeffery.  He’ll kill you if you call him Jeffery) about his experience working as a production assistant on Seinfeld and his […]

Believe it or not, Jonathan actually read not one – but THREE – DC books this week. Join Aron, Paul, Tim, and Wayne as they bear witness in stark amazement at this freakish, perhaps bizarro turn of events!  Plus, Wayne’s Awkward Confessions! I am Groot! Jonah Hex Inception, Dreamscape, and Aron’s lust for Spielberg’s wives […]

While we love all of our interviews, every once in a while, we here at Funnybooks have an interview experience that far surpasses anything we expected.  Today’s New Comic Book Day Interview with Top Cow publisher Filip Sablik is far and away one of our best. We talk with Sablik about everything Top Cow – […]

Aron, Paul, Wayne, Jonathan and Tim bring an episode chock full of p0rn, heroes, and p0rn.  We had a lot to talk about this week.  In fact, be sure to stick around after most of the guys leave to hear Aron share his secret shame. Batman XXX: A Porn Parody Advertising Brightest Day #3 Avengers […]

David Petersen, the immensely talented “arter/writist” of Mouse Guard, joins Aron, Paul, and Wayne for an depth conversation of such mousey goodness that it can barely be contained by mere digital media.  Subjects ranging from Petersen’s all-new Legends of the Guard, why the books are “that shape,”  The Mouse Guard Role Playing Game, Mouse Guard: […]

In this week’s interview, we chat with Ron Marz, creator of the crab-mask-wearing Green Lanterm, Kyle Rayner.  Ron is the current writer of Top Cow’s Witchblade, Magdalena, and Velocity.  We talk to him about stuffing women into refrigerators and all those artifacts in the Top Cow-niverse! It’s an awesome primer we have for Artifacts.  Check […]

It was bound to happen.  Paul was whisked screaming into the jungle by the smoke monster.  Screaming.  Like a little girl.   We mourn his loss as he’d want us to, by talking about the week’s comics. Paul’s away this week, apparently testifying before Congress Wayne is all that and a bag of chips Aron sucks […]

Fred Van Lente is a tease. Seriously, the writer of such books as Iron Man: Legacy, Incredible Hercules, Marvel Zombies, Amazing and Web of Spider-Man teases all kinds of hot, gooey awesomeness in his interview with Paul.  He’s got lots of stories in the pipeline at Marvel and he talks all about ’em in this […]

It’s been a couple of weeks since we talked about new books, so settle in for our epic discussion of the books that have come since Free Comic Book Day.  Aron, Paul, Wayne, Jonathan, and Tim all got up extra early so that we could cram in some extra awesome into this week’s show. White […]

It’s a bit of a departure from our usual Funnybook fare this week. Season 1.0 0f Caprica having wrapped, Aron, Paul and Wayne share their thoughts on the show.  They first establish what they thought of how the show’s predecessor, Battlestar Galactica, ended, chat a bit about the merits of BSG’s The Plan, and then […]

A very special New Comic Book Day interview this week, as we talk to the writer of Oni Press’ latest hit graphic novel, Love Buzz, Len Wallace.  Love Buzz went through a hell of an interesting road making it to publication. Love Buzz tells the tale of Norm Raymer, an aspiring comic artist, who has […]

This coming Saturday, May 1st, is Free Comic Book Day, a global event in which millions of free comic books will be given away absolutely free-of-charge to people visiting participating stores.  So, what better time to visit with Joe Field whose brainchild FCBD is?  Joe’s not just a mad genius bent on putting free comics […]

Aron and Paulie spend an evening talking with the vacationing (other) Paul and Elder from the Bear Swarm Podcast.  The Bear Swarm guys are on their spring tour visiting other shows.  In this episode we establish their funnybook street cred, discuss superhero role playing games, sandbox gaming, and even a little about social combat mechanics.
