The iFanboy.com Comic Book Podcast is a weekly talk show all about the best new current comic book releases. Lifelong friends, Conor Kilpatrick and Josh Flanagan talk about what they loved and (sometimes) hated in the current weekly books, from publishers like Marvel, DC, Image Comics, Dark Horse Comics, BOOM! Studios, IDW, Aftershock, Valiant, and more. The aim is to have a fun time, some laughs, but to also really understand what makes comic books work and what doesn’t, and trying to understand the craft of this great, often under appreciated art form. Sometimes they agree, and sometimes… they don’t. With decades of experience talking about comics, interacting with comic book professionals, this is all about the love of an art form. If the names Brian Michael Bendis, Amanda Conner, Geoff Johns, Gene Luen Yang, Donny Cates, Jason Aaron, Kelly Thompson, David Marquez, Kelly Sue de Connick, Kieron Gillen, Charles Soule, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Scott Snyder, Tom King, Mitch Gerads, Esad Ribic, Rick Remender, Nick Spencer, John Ridley, Skottie Young, Chip Zdarsky, Jöelle Jones, David F. Walker, Grant Morrison, and Darwyn Cooke get you excited, then this is the place for you. This podcast is so good, you don’t even need to read comic books or graphic novels to enjoy it, but it’s a lot better if you do.

June 5, 2011 - The dark horse of the comic book movies of 2011, X-Men: First Class directed by Matthew Vaughn held the hopes and dreams of X-Men fans in it's hands.

Ron, Josh and Conor gather to answer with a unified and resounding, YES! So much so that Ron possibly may explode from excitement as Josh and Conor watch. Learn more about your ad choices.

Talksplode #39 with Cullen Bunn, writer of Sixth Gun, Fear Itself: The Deep, and The Tooth
May 12,2011 - Fans of writer Cullen Bunn have a lot to look forward to this summer. On the heels of its first anniversary, his occult western The Sixth Gun enters its third ongoing arc, and the second paperback volume is due out in just a few weeks. Later this month we'll see his other Oni project The Tooth, a monster-stomping, anthropomorphic fang OGN drawn by Matt Kindt. Fans of DC's magic characters like Klarion the Witch Boy and the cast of Shadowpact will want to pick up Sorcerer Kings, his four-issue arc on Superman/Batman. Then in June and July, Bunn is hip-deep in Marvel's Fear Itself, with one-shots for Black Widow and the FF, and a four-part Defenders series called Fear Itself: The Deep. Paul talks to Bunn about all of these titles as well as the task of juggling creator-owned and licensed projects, capturing the distinct voices of Natasha Romanoff and the Silver Surfer, Bunn's recent transition to writing full time, and one creepy-ass goat.
