Born in France, he migrated to the US at a young enough age to not have so much of an accent. If given the chance he’ll talk at length of the superiority of his Gallic ways. The podcast was his idea, and the arrogant bastard complains at every turn at how much time he spends editing it. Coming from a film school background and working in post-production makes him think that he actually has a right to be as pretentious as he is. If you don’t think he’s pretentious, here’s the proof: He wrote a Manifesto for this site...
Here at Funnybook Babylon, we spend quite a bit of time railing against the idea of the android’s dungeon. Today I’m not feeling so good about it.
Gary Gygax died today, the man who created Dungeons and Dragons. I only mention it because once, long ago, my first conscious step into an American comic shop had […]
As someone who really digs a considerable amount of Warren Ellis’ published work (see Fell & Transmetropolitan) I was somewhat surprised to see that he was releasing a web comic called FreakAngels. I haven’t heard of any comic author going from the glitz and glamour of the publishing world to the wild west of online […]
The Marvel shareholder’s conference call was released today, and I decided to take a listen… As a lay person, this is what I gleaned from it:
1) The publishing division is less important (financially at least) than their toy/merchandising division.
2) Interactive is really taking a back burner because…
3) They are betting the farm on Marvel Film […]
Chris outlines comics he likes, but can’t read on the train.
Aaaand I’m spent. So ends round one of our Video Podcasts. Maybe you’ll see more, maybe you won’t.
Pedro comes at ya with the top 5 comics that you can kill a man with…
Due to turkeys, apple ‘updates’, and plastic guitars (and drums), I apologize for the recent lateness of the last podcast. It will be up tomorrow, barring any acts of god(s). New or otherwise.
I’m back on the 1’s & 2’s, not on the mic yet.
This Week!
We play, Save the Comics industry! (from who?), We pontificate about numbers a bit, and manage to do the IMPOSSIBLE!!!!
*spoiler alert*
We DON’T TALK ABOUT DC EDITORIAL! At least not directly. Well, sorta.
Jamaal: “Let’s assume for the sake of the argument that they’re reasonable people who actually want to sell their comics and that they’re […]
Usually, I only buy trades by big name authors and artists, and can’t be bothered to care about which alien species tried to conquer Earth 72 in a comic published twenty years ago.
On a whim, I decided that this week I would pick up […]
Could this Masked Man be the father of your child?
Will Agatha Christie Comics, save the comic book industry (Or find Ray Palmer)?
Former Runaways Artist runs away to Spider-man Loves Mary Jane! Will this creative team ’swapping’ become rampant in Marvel?
And will Superboy Someone special be punching Rorschach and Dr. Manhattan into an arena with […]
Hey, Jamaal came over the other night, started to talk about what is going on with the Superboy litigation, and I put microphones in front of us. I hope you enjoy.
This Week.
Alex Ross teases, Dan Didio Spoils, Puckett and Johnson take over Supergirl. Somehow a Cap argument ensues.
This week on the podcast: Wizard World news, and some discussions.
Pedro asks - “Are there really 3 versions of Nightshade that people care about?”
Joe asks - “Why would you want to go to Disneyland if you’re Reed Richards?”
Chris asks “How many Batman is a Vampire and everyone is dead stories can you do?”
Jamaal asks “Do […]
What we’ve been reading,
Manstream! DCMinx vs. Lea Hernandez.
Tony Stark in the Iron Man Movie! Not the fascist with a mustache, the one that was in Wu-Tang.
Also, Is the Ultimate Universe going boom? Well, you won’t find out definitively on this podcast but we will talk about it!
Much like the SDCC mentioned comics at some point during their convention…
This is our attempt at an SDCC podcast, and we do cover some of it and our reactions to it, but we also get caught up into our usual discussions.
We talk about the new indie stuff (Jeff Smith and Paul Pope got us excited), […]
This week! -
Chris and Pedro explain a bit more about Countdown to me, and speculate on what we’re actually counting down to, as sort of a companion piece to the DownCounting thing.
We explore the newly annouced company Radical Comics, which promises to be just as radical as the 80’s were. They don’t do comics about […]
