iFanboy - Comic Books

There were so many books to talk about this week that the show went long and book talk crowded out almost everything else. But fear not!

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.

A strong week of comics makes the choosing hard, but it means there are lots of books to talk about. Also... some diversions. For example, there's no reason to talk about Almost Famous, other than that one title. And then there's definitely no reason to share Dick Clark stories, but life finds a way.Running Time: 01:04:45Pick of the Week:00:02:16 - Iron Man #1Comics:00:12:06 - Billionaire Island #600:17:04 - X-Men: Marvels Snapshot #100:21:24 - Thor #7.00:26:31 - Detective Comics #102700:34:56 - Captain America #2300:37:19 - Batman: The Adventures Continue #1200:40:06 - Batman #9900:41:38 - Heavy #1Patron Pick:00:51:09 - Stillwater #1Patron Thanks:00:57:34 - Paul Wachter00:58:47 - Brad BrileyBrought To You By:• iFanboy Patrons - Become one today for as little as $3/month!
