Disappointment and disagreement are featured heavily in this week’s show as well as satisfaction and consensus.  We’re a strange dichotomy at Funnybooks.  Download now and choose your side!!

Finally able to grasp the concept of the difference between US time and England time, your Funnybooks hosts Wayne and Paulie have a nice little chat with comic book, video game, novel writer and all around nice guy Antony Johnston.

In our second Shadowland interview, we talk about his work on the Daredevil tie-in issues of Shadowland, what’s coming next for ol’ Horn Head, and the tie-in mini series, Shadowland: Blood on the Streets, featuring Silver Sable.  We also chat about his long running epic Wasteland and his work on the Dead Space video game series, as well as what fans can expect in the prequel to the upcoming sequel, Dead Space: Ignition. We even find time to talk about his advice for aspiring comic writers!

A great interview for video game and comic fans alike!

Note: We make reference to a couple of websites for Johnston-related projects, including:

Oh, and we feature music from the Wasteland official soundtrack, also available at the official Wasteland web site!

In this week’s episode, all the boys are in the hizzouse.  As such, Wayne takes a moment to set the record straight.  Jonathan regales us with tales of his victorious turn at a Magic tournament and explains why he didn’t come home with a new car.  Plus, Aron and Jonathan fight!  All this and we take a spin in our sweet, sweet ride, the Galactus Engine.

In the heady days following the end of the Wakanda-Latveria War and while Wayne was off at GenCon and Jonathan was under the weather, the rest of us all got together to discuss the week’s comics.  Join Aron, Paul, and Tim for a measured, reasoned response to the week’s comics.  Plus, sex with clones!

In our ongoing effort to ask the questions that MUST BE ASKED, we go where few have gone before… If you were like Ultimate Spider-Man and had an opposite gender clone, would you have sex with him or her?

Did you know that Venice was sinking?  Apparently, the city of Venice floods at least 100 days per year, especially in the tourist areas.

What does that have to do with Christopher Golden, writer of the upcoming Baltimore: The Plague Ships mini-series from Dark Horse Comics?  Well, not only do we talk with Golden about his recently released novel The Chamber of Ten, but we also talk at length about his work with Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, including his Hellboy novels, like The Lost Army.

Months after a devastating plague ends World War I, Europe is suddenly flooded with deadly vampires. Lord Henry Baltimore, a soldier determined to wipe out the monsters, is on the hunt for the creature responsible for this chaos and his own personal tragedy. What he uncovers is a terror as horrific and frightening as any he’s seen on the battlefield. This week, Baltimore: The Plague Ships #1 releases from Dark Horse Comics, and before you read it, you must listen to this awesome interview with writer Christopher Golden!

If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it is that tacos are awesome.  If there are two things we can all on agree on it is that crimes must be punished, wrongs must be righted, injustice will not stand.  In this week’s episode of Funnybooks, we kick the show off by addressing the rudeness of others before jumping into a week full of  terrific new comics including Top Cow’s Artifacts event, a ton of books from Radical, and even more from the big two.  Plus, we discuss the new DVD release Batman: Under the Red Hood.

We’re all about excrement this week on Funnybooks!  From ass webs to armor pooping, Aron, Paul, Wayne, Jonathon, and Tim chat about the week’s comics through a crappy Skype connection.

NOTE: Skype was giving us fits as we recorded.  Clarity was in and out.  Also, we endured a certain amount of lag.  Apologies that the sound quality is not up to our usual standards.

Your Funnybooks chaps Paulie, Wayne, and Tim have a delightful chat with current Avengers Academy writer, Christos Gage. There’s so much goodness in this interview, that we have to describe it with exclamation points. Marvel at how Christos calls Tim “Chip” repeatedly! Find out the startling secret of how Christos got into writing comics! Discover the Top Cow project that he’s writing that won’t be announced to everyone else until this weekend at Comic Con! Gasp as we discuss the ending of Avengers: The Initiative and the beginning of Avengers Academy! Tense up with anticipation as we discuss the film adaptation of Paradox, Christos’ first creator-owned title! And rush out to your comic shop to buy his new mini-series, Spider-Man/Fantastic Four!

The countdown to Paul’s intervention continues as he shocks and horrifies us with reviews and observations.  Join Aron, Tim, Wayne and Jonathan for yet another horrific episode featuring Paulie’s desperate spiral into madness.

Paul and I can’t tell time.

Specifically, we can’t convert the time difference between the U.S. and the U.K.  Fortunately, Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning have mastered such pedantic concepts as time, thus affording us the opportunity chat with them one Saturday morning.

We chat about Dan’s novel work in the Warhammer 40K universe such as Gaunt’s Ghosts, his passion for Cthulhu, and a whole lot about his affection for role playing games such as Traveller.  Of course it’s a comics podcast and it’s DnA, so we talk about their origins in writing Marvel’s cosmic books and go deep, deep, deep into their current event and it’s impact on Guardians of the Galaxy and Nova…. we discuss Rocket Raccoon and even Groot and of course the big event itself… The Thanos Imperative.

Fhtagn!
