When you’re listening to Paul’s InterventionCast at some future date, you’ll know that his long, desperate spiral into depravity started here.    Bookmark this page, then join Aron, Jonathan, Wayne, and Tim as they listen in stupefied horror while Paul confesses his sins absent even one ounce of shame.

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 week’s comics.  Join Aron, Paul, Wayne and Tim for their first anniversary show.

(Edit: We reference a Black Panther run in this episode, and incorrectly attribute it to Charlie Huston, and not Reggie Hudlin, the real writer.  We apologize for the error.  Thanks Michael!)

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 kicks off a huge Marvel event known as the Curse of the Mutants, which will see the X-Men team up with Blade and others to take down the growing vampire menace in the Marvel U.  And it all starts with this week’s release of The Death of Dracula, also written by Gischler.

We sat down recently to talk to Victor Gischler about Deadpool Corps, the ending of Deadpool: Merc With A Mouth, the new X-Men series, vampires, and his growing collection of awesome novels, ranging from post-apocalyptic horror to hard-boiled crime.

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 length podcast!

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 work at Aspen on books such as Fathom and Soulfire.  We reminisce about Michael Turner.  We discuss J.T.’s creator-owned Mindfield and what he’s got in store for Green Arrow.  Most important we learn how to pronounce J.T.’s last name!

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!

By the way, we mention Dreamscape in this episode of Funnybooks.  It is a terrific film featuring Dennis Quaid, Max Von Sydow, and Kate Capshaw.  It’s very much in the same vein as the upcoming Inception.  It streams on Netflix.  Check it out!

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 – overcoming predispositions and delays, successes and failures in trying to bring in new readers, the rising costs of comic books, media properties, all of their current titles, and, of course, the upcoming Artifacts crossover.  We don’t shy away from the tough topics on this one, and Sablik was frank and honest the entire time.

Whether you’re a Top Cow fan or not, this is definitely going to be one of the most unique comic books interviews you’ve ever heard!

Don’t miss it!

Aron, Paul, Wayne and Tim talk a little about the Supers RPG they’ll be recording, tease an upcoming interview and also talk about the week’s comics.

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.

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: The Motion Picture, and even Mouse Guard crossovers.

It’s crazy awesome and it’s all right here.

Watch out for weasels.
