The cheeky little brother that Mom makes FBB take everywhere. No lie, the dude is like, fifteen years old. He’s got a driver’s license? What? You can’t buy liquor with that shit. FBB is kind of embarrassed by Jon, but keeps him around to meet snark and David Lapham quotas. And Wire quotas. You can never rep the Wire enough. FBB keeps its name in the streets.
Because that’s how goddamn late this is to post, what the hell is wrong with the rest of you guys
I haven’t gotten a chance to listen to this one yet because of school but uh here it is, I guess the dudes discuss comics???
45 minutes of Iron Man movie discussion and some stuff about comics?! I don’t know what these crazy cats have been up to, FBB is a wasteland recently. That will change soon.
David Lapham has returned to the internet with a blog. You will not be surprised by its URL.

Feel free to go over there and comment on his promo article for Young Liars about how much you wish he was working on Stray Bullets instead. I hear he loves it when people do that.
So far, he’s […]
That’s a Fox News question, by the way. The answer is “Yeah, he is.”
Kean is in hot water right now in our little corner of the blogalaxy, and it’s all because of this (by way of Rich Johnston’s Lying in the Gutters):
The above is from the original version of this interview that he conducted with […]
Cover to Young Liars #1
Some of you out there in FBB Readerland who follow the site might be under the impression that, beyond showing up on the occasional podcast sounding like I’m phoning in from Atlantis, all I do is read the mainstream work of vaguely indie guys and then bitch either about them […]
Haha no seriously buy this comic
Because it really looks like he’s single-handedly saving Supergirl’s soul.
It might be impossible at this point to save the book itself; it’s been bleeding ever since Jeph Loeb left it in the lurch to pursue lucrative opportunities over at Marvel like that book about the Red Hulk what uses guns, […]
It looks like everyone’s favorite C-list-supporting-character-turned- bizarrely-persistent-martyr is back for reals as of this past week’s issue of Robin (#172 for anyone who just has to hunt down a copy to read up on all these Shocking Revelations). I figure it’s been, like, five days or something since it’s come out, so I’m not spoiling […]
Teen Titans: Year One #3 came out this week — and it rules, so go buy it — but take a look at the cover and see if you notice anything off.
Yep, Amy Wolfram, the writer, doesn’t get a cover credit, which is unfortunate, because she’s been doing a pretty good job. But before we […]
Comic book writers, I can understand the bind you’re in. I get that you want an issue title that has cultural context, that resonates with your readers, and is instantly memorable. But guys. GUYS. “Sins of the Father?” Yeah, that one’s taken.
In fact, it’s taken by (in no particular order):
Amazing Spider-Man #263, Avengers #401, Marvel […]
This article kicked off the FBB invasion of PopCultureShock, and also launched PCS’s new comics feature, Alternate Current — a series of weekly posts on thought-provoking, or simply fun, topics from bright minds all throughout the blogalaxy. Go check it out every week. I think it runs Thursdays? Maybe I just write fast. And if […]
You know what’s passé? You know what’s been done? Making fun of Wizard Magazine. Specifically Wizard Online, because fuck if I’m going to shell out bills for a print version.
But sometimes you click a link, and you read a thing, and then you got to write a thing, even though your first reaction is, “Wow, […]
Podcast is running a bit late (Technical issues? Joe is sick?? I was wondering why you took my JMS crap seriously, Joe, and now I know!), Pedro wanted some words for the web, and since David Lapham put out a comic recently, I’m gonna write about that.
The fifth and final issue of Lapham’s Terror, Inc., […]
WonderCon was this weekend, and the biggest story was probably J. Michael Straczynski livin’ it up at the DC Nation panel and giving slightly embarrassing speeches that sounded like they came from the climax of a feel-good movie about Inspiration and the Power of Imagination, or maybe Bill Pullman. But while JMS was taking time […]
Not too long ago, the preferred way to reading any comic series was hitting the store every Wednesday to pick it up sequentially. The store had stacks of floppies and if you wanted to catch up to a series, you’ll have to dig into the back issue bin, hopefully finding the issues you needed. However, […]
