Conor's coming to us live from San Diego Comic-Con, and Josh is just at home. Actually, Conor's in a hotel just adjacent to Comic-Con, and it's early in the morning, so we make the best of it. More good books, with plenty of Pick options, and some surprising up and comers dot the list this week, with quality moving in the right direction, so it's a good time all around. Except for Conor, trapped in a hotel room with spotty wifi, and being sent to Star Wars corner *again*.Running Time: 01:05:59Pick of the Week:00:02:03 - Old Man Hawkeye #7Comics:00:10:36 - The Immortal Hulk #300:15:09 - Tony Stark: Iron Man #200:19:52 - Batman #5100:30:15 - The Weatherman #200:33:22 - Deathbed #600:35:55 - Thor #3Star Wars Corner:00:39:00 - Star Wars: Darth Vader Annual #2Patron Pick:00:43:20 - Archie Meets Batman '66 #1Patron Thanks:00:48:33 - Joshua Miller00:49:43 - Simon Northwood00:50:56 - Scott Rattray00:51:40 - Eric HandAudience Question:00:54:56 - Liam from Manchester, UK wants to know what essential stories we haven't read.Brought To You By:• Mack Weldon - Mack Weldon makes fantastic premium men's underwear and essentials.

Thanks to iFanboy patrons, it's Talksplode time.It's our second Texan in a row, as Josh finally welcomes cartoonist and creator, Terry Moore to the long form interview show. Terry's Strangers in Paradise holds a special place in the hearts of the iFanboy founders, and this year, we've seen the return of the beloved characters in a continuation of their story 25 years after it started. In talking about the series and its origins, Terry sheds a light on how to grow an independent comic series in various eras of the comic book industry, and how that's changed. We also talk about what came before comics, and how making that transition worked, and plenty more, like his other series, Echo and Rachel Rising. You can follow Terry on Twitter to keep up him, as well as visiting the Abstract Studios website.Total Running Time: 01:05:39Music:“Strangers"Portishead Learn more about your ad choices.
