iFanboy - Comic Books

Great Jimberly Jimmington's Ghost! It's time for another episode! The Patron Powers are on the spot. We like the book, but can't remember if we liked the last book. Maybe that other book isn't actually very good, but hey, check that art out! Then we got a question we've never even thought about before. And we've been thinking about questions for a long time. Decades.Running Time: 01:09:56Pick of the Week:00:01:40 - Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #5Comics:00:12:49 - Batman: White Knights Presents Von Freeze00:17:17 - Marauders #200:23:25 - Captain America #1600:31:11 - Batman #8300:35:13 - The Amazing Mary Jane #200:37:23 - Crowded #1000:39:29 - Heart Attack #1Patron Pick:00:43:34 - The Question: The Deaths of Vic Sage, Book OnePatron Thanks:00:53:36 - Sam Musters00:54:39 - Nick DiTota00:55:11 - Spiral Tracks00:56:06 - Coree BurtonAudience Questions:00:57:53 - James from Delaware wonders about Cap's head wings.01:02:01 - Peter likes that Doctor Aphra.Brought to You By:• The Only Podcast Left - Daybreak - Available now on Spotify!• MARVELS - A new podcast from Marvel and Stitcher!

It's a weird week of comics, and it was hard to find standouts, but that doesn't mean there wasn't plenty to talk about. Josh Flanagan even makes a veiled reference to that damn closet by the same guys who finished up a mini-series this week.

Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time.Sometimes, with a little bit of effort, a little bit of luck, and a heck of a comedic and dramatic voice, you can build yourself a career in comics. That's how Kyle Starks did it. You might know him from Rick and Morty, Sexcastle, Rock Candy Mountain, Assassin Nation, or Mars Attacks. Currently, he's running a Kickstarter campaign on his newest project, Old Head. It's about basketball and vampires and it's kind of weird. Josh talks to the writer/artist about how he got here, how he works, a lot of other stuff in between.Follow Kyle on Twitter!Total Running Time: 01:04:59Music:“Big Rock Candy Mountain"Tex Ritter Learn more about your ad choices.
