Fanboy golden age and peak years

iFanboy celebrated its landmark 1000th episode with a quadruple-sized extravaganza! Josh Flanagan, Conor Kilpatrick, and Ron Richards were joined by special guests Gordon the Intern, Dr. Ryan Haupt, Jim Viscardi, Tom King, Chris Eliopoulos, Mike Norton, and Brian Michael Bendis… and thus, they didn’t answer as many emails as they normally would have. So they’re back to answer more!
