iFanboy - Comic Books

It's the semi-annual solo Josh show! The management would like to apologize for this. With Conor out somewhere, and no one else wanting to talk to him, Josh will, as always, talk to himself. Great comics helped a lot. You'll have to make your own call. Note: Time codes are subject to change depending on dynamic ad insertion by the distributor.Running Time: 00:52:12Pick of the Week:00:01:59 - Batman: The Knight #7Comics:00:07:40 - DC vs. Vampires: All Out War #100:13:21d - Alien Annual #100:16:11 - Young Hellboy: Assault on Castle Death #100:19:19 - Maestro: World War M #500:21:17 - The Rocketeer: The Great Race #400:23:18 - Silver Coin #12Patron Pick:00:25:53 - Dark Spaces: Wildfire #1Patron Thanks:00:34:55 - Rafael Hernandez00:36:03 - Joey FryListener Questions:000:36:39 - Ryan wants to know about the media input systems.

Conor is (possibly) galavanting on the high seas, (allegedly) performing acts of piracy, and rabble rousing. Or he's not. We have no way to know for sure. But in the meantime, we have our good pal, Jim Viscardi from comicbook.com on the mic to talk about this week's books. And Moon Knight.
