iFanboy - Comic Books

This week we will absolutely not go long... is what we tell ourselves, so Josh Flanagan, returned, takes it off the rails immediately. No, not by the talk. It's good comic talk. What else would you expect. But maybe he's just so excited about his co-jamoke, he can't help it. Anyway, we've got comics and opinions about those comics. Some are starting, and some are ending, and we hope you enjoy it.Running Time: 01:20:01Pick of the Week:00:02:20 - Old Man Quill #7Comics:00:09:53 - Lois Lane #100:15:38 - No One Left to Fight #100:21:26 - Sea of Stars #100:26:26 - Captain America and The Invaders: The Bermuda Triangle #100:32:06 - Superman: Up in the Sky #100:36:19 - The Wild Storm #2400:38:46 - Postal: Deliverance #100:40:44 - Crowded #7Patron Pick:00:42:18 - The Walking Dead #193Patron Thanks:00:57:35 - Caleb Peters00:58:54 - Enda O'Driscoll01:00:10 - Viren Patel01:01:34 - Jason SmithAudience Question:01:03:30 - Scott asks our opinion on comics media, and off we go!Brought To You By:• Mack Weldon - Mack Weldon makes fantastic premium men's underwear and essentials.

The show goes long (what else is new) when a long anticipated prestige book is finally released and Josh Flanagan and Conor Kilpatrick just can't keep their yaps under control.

Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time.Back when we relaunched the regular Talksplode episodes almost exactly 3 years ago, Tom King and Mitch Gerads were my first guests. His Batman run was just about to start, today a whole lot of comics have come out of Tom's head. He's still working on Batman, wrapped up the amazing Mister Miracle, also with Mitch. Mr. King is back, and we go deeper than ever, including his mom's hand in the invention of an amazing digital format, and what is really happening with the end of his Batman story. And plenty more, leaving you, the listener, this gift of a super long episode.You can follow Tom on Twitter.Total Running Time: 01:46:18Music:“TV Party"Black Flag Learn more about your ad choices.

It's an event named Event! Conor and Josh do their damnedest to keep the show shorter than an hour. It doesn't quite work. But that only works out for you, dear listener. Yes, we know Conor sounds a little weird. You'll get used to it. Also, the movie we couldn't remember was 1985's Brewster's Millions.Paging Doctor Quass, This fall on CBS!TOTAL REFRESHMENT!Running Time: 01:01:22Pick of the Week:00:02:41 - Event Leviathan #1Comics:00:11:08 - Superman #1200:15:31 - The Flash #7200:10:11 - Giant Man #300:24:14 - Wonder Twins #500:28:20 - Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #700:30:46 - Spider-Man: Life Story #4300:35:10 - Five Years #2Patron Pick:00:38:31- Silver Surfer: Black #1Patron Thanks:00:44:08 - Chris Kim00:45:46 - Ryan Kent00:49:43 - Kevin Quass00:49:34 - Eric CentenoListener Mail:00:51:02 - Daniel S. asked us about Neal Stephenson.

It's a surprise Pick from unexpected corners of the comic world. It's also a completely expected complaint about the overall ambient temperature, just to level things out. We do our damnedest to go on just long enough, instead of last week's shambling tirades. Plus, so much event talk that the show itself is an event.Running Time: 01:20:01Pick of the Week:00:02:10 - DCeased #2Comics:00:11:45 - The War of the Realms #500:17:53 - The War of the Realms: Journey into Mystery #400:22:30 - Old Man Quill #600:25:07 - Black Cat #100:31:56 - Meet the Skrulls #500:35:03 - Batman #7200:38:48 - Man-Eaters #900:42:30 - Justice League #2500:44:43 - The Walking Dead #192Patron Pick:00:50:44 - The Incredible Hulk: Last Call #1Patron Thanks:00:57:41 - Ryan Devitt00:59:31 - Patrick M.

Conor Kilpatrick and Paul Montgomery drew the short straws so it's up to them to wrap up the 19 year X-Men saga (unless The New Mutants actually comes out... a big unless).

It's a fifth week, and though Conor Kilpatrick and Josh Flanagan were hoping for a comic book reprieve, a whole passel of big books (literally and figuratively!) from DC means they went long again.Running Time: 01:11:33Pick of the Week:00:02:49 - Doomsday Clock #10Comics:00:16:50 - Batman: Last Knight on Earth #100:23:20 - Heroes in Crisis #900:30:50 - Superman: Leviathan Rising Special #100:41:49 - X-Men: Grand Design - X-Tinction #100:43:34 - The Amazing Spider-Man #2200:45:52 - The War of the Realms: War Scrolls #200:48:42 - Detective Comics Annual #2Patron Pick:00:51:57 - Killer Groove #1Patron Thanks:01:01:21 - Ben Wild01:02:27 - Joshua Lincoln Nelson01:04:46 - Adam01:05:50 - Arcadia CorriganBrought To You By:• Mack Weldon - Mack Weldon makes fantastic premium men's pants, underwear and more.
