iFanboy - Comic Books

The lack of our short to medium term memories is a problem, clearly, but we'll be pushing through. We take a trip to the past, and wonder why so much of it feels so great, and then scoot back to the future and wonder if it is so great. Then a mime smokes underwater, and it's fantastic.Running Time: 01:12:21Pick of the Week:00:02:23 - Justice League: Endless Winter #1Comics:00:15:39 - Fantastic Four: Road Trip #100:22:10 - Batman/Catwoman #100:29:01 - Strange Adventures #700:40:02 - King in Black #100:43:12 - That Texas Blood #600:46:25 - Spy Island #400:49:09 - DCeased: Dead Planet #6Patron Pick:00:51:22 - M.O.D.O.K.: Head Games #1Patron Thanks:00:57:44 - Andrew Hunley00:59:21 - Jamie WakefieldAudience Questions:01:03:41 - Frank needs a new comic shop, and he needs it now!01:05:07 - A Steve checks in.Brought 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!

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!
