Jonathan Hickman shared with us his vision for Fantastic Four and Secret Warriors.

Amidst talk of “buggery,” Rick Remender joined us for a lively discussion of Frankencastle, Fear Agent, XXX Zombies, and The Last Days of American Crime movie.

Check ‘em out.  These interviews were lots of fun.

We wrap up the month of January by sharing our conversation with Fantastic Four writer, Jonathan Hickman.  We talk about Hollywood movies, his love of Frank Herbert’s DUNE books, why in the world Sue Richards stays with Reed, Secret Warriors, and all manner of other comic book awesome.

Plus… in a Funnybooks exclusive, Jonathan Hickman answers why he is the best lover on the planet.
