  • Funny Book Forensics 282 F#$@ing Midnighter

    Well its time for Midnighter 8 and 9. Dan loved this one and indicated it by dropping F bombs all over the Podcast. Midnighter meets up with Spyral and then meets up with the Suicide squad in the never ending quest for the Perdition Pistol. Dan and Greg discuss the story arcs and how the the Wall changed in comics. We also wait for John to show up to the podcast again. Maybe he will come someday.

  • Funny Book Forensics 280 Russian into Trouble with Dick

    Dan and Greg get back into Midnighter with issue 4 and 5 and Midnighter is really into Dick… Grayson!  Grayson guest stars, not Robin, not Nightwing, Grayson!  

    As always we dig into the issues. We also discuss writing when the company makes you do a crossover. Dan expresses his displeasure over the Grayson character in general. Finally, we give you some bad hotel tips! In the end Midnighter finds Matt and that is all that matters for now.

  • Funny Book Forensics 279 Mountain, Tower, Fortress Lad

    Dan and Greg started out discussing a fun classic issue of Secret Origins, #46. We have a crazy Grant Morrison story with the JLA fighting their own costumes and the origin of the Justice League Mountain Headquarters!  We review the secret Origin of Titans Tower by Marv Wolfman!  Then we thought we were getting to the punchline, the first appearance of Arm Fall Off Boy, the character TDK played by Nathan Fillion in The Suicide Squad. 

    However, when we discover the secret origin of the writer of the third story, the conversation shifts to a serious discussion of creator rights, censorship, and monetizing the works of bad people. Join us for a discussion that genuinely surprised both of us. 

    Story One: Writer: Grant Morrison Pencils: Curt Swan, Inks: George Freeman, Colors: George Freeman

    Story Two: Writer: Marv Wolfman Pencils: Vince Giarrano, Inks: Vince Giarrano, Colors: Adrienne Roy, Letter: Janice Chiang

    Story Three: Writer: Omitted Pencils: Curt Swan, Inks: Ty Templeton, Colors Tom McCraw, Letters: John Constanza

    Editor: Mark Waid

    Read the book:

    Thanks to the bad actions of the author you of the third story, you cannot get this book online. You will have to find a dollar bin or an expensive E-Bay copy. I would wait for dollar bin or go dig it out of your collection.
