iFanboy - Comic Books

Come stare in the abyss.... together. Josh branches out, and it brings him great joy. There's a not inconsequential conversation on how old Batman is, or how old he should be, and why it doesn't make sense, or doesn't matter. Then there's the Sims, Barbecue, and video editing preferences. But we still manage to talk about comics too.Running Time: 01:18:07Pick of the Week:00:01:45 - Scarenthood #1Comics:00:11:58 - Superman: Man of Tomorrow #1900:16:51 - Resident Alien: Your Ride's Here #100:21:30 - Detective Comics #103000:33:09 - Dungeons and Dragons: At the Spine of the World #100:36:49 - Hawkman #2900:38:51 - Bill and Ted Are Doomed #300:40:45 - The Amazing Spider-Man #52Patron Pick:00:44:36 - Taskmaster #1Patron Thanks:00:51:53 - Jonathan Sturm00:53:44 - Stephen AMAudience Questions:00:55:59 - Aaron has questions bridging disparate topics, but we're here for it, and we talk about our relative influence and the mafia.Brought To You By:• iFanboy Patrons - Become one today for as little as $3/month!

It starts off a little rough, and there is concern about Josh's mental state. Further, we never promise it will get better from there. But onward, we forge, with a lot of Donald Blake and John Walker confusion. There's also comics talk and plenty of it, with a surprising Marx Brothers diversion.Running Time: 01:17:40Pick of the Week:00:02:28 - Hellblazer: Rise and Fall, Book TwoComics:00:12:52 - Thor #900:20:30 - U.S.Agent #100:26:35 - Black Widow #300:36:47 - Sweet Tooth: The Return, Book One00:41:19 - That Texas Blood #500:44:04 - Red Atlantis #100:49:19 - Young Justice #20Patron Pick:00:50:54 - Crossover #1Patron Thanks:01:00:39 - Emmet Golden-Marx01:02:43 - Jesse Golden-MarxBrought To You By:• Mack Weldon - Mack Weldon makes fantastic premium men's underwear and essentials. Go to MackWeldon.com and get 20% off your first order using promo code IFANBOY• iFanboy Patrons - Become one today for as little as $3/month!

Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time.The folks at iFanboy have been big fans of Gene Luen Yang's cartooning for a good long time. From his groundbreaking, award winning American Born Chinese, to a stint on Superman and New Super-Man, a take on a Chinese version of the character, to Avatar: The Last Airbender, the massive Boxers and Saints, and now a new run of Shang-Chi for Marvel, seeing Yang's name on a comic means it will be worth reading. With his newest book, Dragon Hoops, from First Second Press recently release, Josh couldn't wait to get to talk to the writer, artist and certified MacArthur genius about his vast body of work and how he goes about it.Follow Gene on on Twitter, or his website, geneyang.com.Total Running Time: 01:21:21Music:“Shooting Hoops"G.
