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!

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 guilt to Aron, Andrew gives us a He/She update and Aron calls Andrew out.

Oh, and we talk about comics, too:

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.

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 Gorillas, Powder Man & Iron First, and Aron’s secret shame.

Don’t miss out on Paul’s all-new serialized fiction, Supernatural Straightjacket!

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 Comic Book Week episode or perhaps from his web comic, Solomon Azua.  Join Aron, Paul, Tim, Wayne and Jake as we rock a super-sized episode of Funnybooks!

On the heels of our interview with Amazing Spider-man scribe Dan Slott, Tim is inspired to bring the energy and bullies the rest of us into doing the same. Join the brow-beaten Aron, Paulie, and Wayne as Tim prods us forward.

There’s a lot to talk about this week.  Wayne got a new bed, Fear the Con’s coming up and – oh yes – comics!  So gird your loins and join Aron, Paul, Tim and Wayne for our 79th weekly episode!

It was a sad week for comics.  Not only did very little hit the stands for the first week of January 2011, but there was also very little in the way of quality in these books.  But don’t despair, there were a couple of winners.  Plus, we return to What If We Were Writing…?

Join Aron, Paul, Tim, and Wayne for the 78th weekly episode of Funnybooks:

Our 77th weekly episode was recorded the morning of New Year’s Day with your four hosts slightly the worse for wear from the earlier evening’s celebrations. Still, no amount of alcohol and loose women can keep these podcasters from their sacred mission. Join Aron, Paul, Tim and Wayne as they kick off 2011 with massive hangovers!

It’s that time of year, again.  It is the time when we gather to reflect on the best the year has offered us and the worst with which it has afflicted us.  Alabama Sunshine joins the regular crew of Aron, Paul, Tim and Wayne as we reflect, praise and even curse the comics of 2010.
