Conor Kilpatrick’s back! Again! This week Josh Flanagan thinks they won’t have enough to talk about in the listener mail segment but you’d think after all of these years he’d know better. Plus, there was a major flukey technical screw-up that nearly derailed the show near the end but through the magic of editing you won’t hear it. But they will always remember it.Note: Time codes are subject to change depending on dynamic ad insertion by the distributor.Running Time: 01:00:40Pick of the Week:00:03:04 – Fantastic Four #712Comics:00:12:19 – Action Comics #106400:16:36 – Transformers #700:21:50 – Dark Spaces: Dungeon #500:26:17 – Green Lantern #1000:29:12 – Napalm Lullaby #200:32:00 – The Amazing Spider-Man #94100:35:08 – Alien: What If…? #2Patron Pick:00:38:02 – Uncanny Valley #1Patron Thanks:00:46:43 – Alan AlvarezAudience Question:00:48:32 – Peter S. from Cape Coral, Florida asks about all-time G.O.S.H.-iest comic book series.Notes:Watch Josh and Conor discussing how to podcast and the history of iFanboy on the OpenWater webinar:Brought To You By:• Better Help – This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Left alone, Josh takes the wheel, and goes a little bit mad. So many forgotten details, and lessons given, but in the end, he still manages to go long with the show. He cannot help but speak.
