iFanboy - Comic Books

Conor Kilpatrick’s back! He returns from summer vacation to join Josh Flanagan to talk comic books and they do the best they can considering the creeping heat and the on-set of old man brain.Running Time: 01:11:47Pick of the Week:00:02:26 – Batman #53Comics:00:14:13 – Extermination #100:20:12 – Infinity Wars #200:24:14 – Batgirl #2500:29:56 – Tony Stark: Iron Man #300:36:38 – Usagi Yojimbo: The Hidden #500:40:21 – Archie Meets Batman ’66 #200:41:27 – Crowded #1Patron Pick:00:43:53 – Pearl #1Patron Thanks:00:50:50 – Arcadia Corrigan00:53:16 – Thea Corrigan00:54:15 – Cecily Corrigan00:55:37 – Michael CorriganAudience Question:00:58:33 – Owen M. introduces coffee preferences into the food corner discussion.Brought To You By:• Harry’s – Go to Harrys.com/ifanboy right now to get a Trial Shave Set!• iFanboy Patrons – Become one today for as little as $3/month!

It starts off punchy, and then eventually gets to hazy. But in the middle is some genuine comics analysis and introspection, and some damn fine books out this week. Jim Viscardi (comicbook.com) fills in for a recreating Conor Kilpatrick, and tries valiantly to hold on while Josh Flanagan descends into fatigue based insanity. Like Conrad's Heart of Darkness, but with complaints about left hand panel stacking.Running Time: 01:17:54Pick of the Week:00:02:46 - Hey Kids!

Conor's gone on some sort of vacation, so Ryan Haupt joins Josh Flanagan and they talk and talk and talk. Mostly about comics! Josh tries to remember Secret Invasion, but doesn't. But he does remember Dimension Z. The fact is, he has a cold and it's all a white knuckle cognition adventure. Plus we narrowly avoid the "sandwich" question.Running Time: 01:15:59Pick of the Week:00:01:19 - Batman #52Comics:00:11:09 - Captain America #200:17:54 - Mister Miracle #1000:24:29 - Death of the Inhumans #200:33:11 - Paper Girls #2300:35:54 - The Quantum Age: From the World of Black Hammer #200:37:54 - Xerxes: The Fall of the House of Darius and the Rise of Alexander #500:40:30 - Cosmic Ghost Rider #200:44:12 - Leviathan #1Patron Pick:00:46:20 - The Seeds #1Patron Thanks:00:55:25 - Hal Kay00:57:13 - Eric Williamson00:58:56 - Paul Ruggiero01:01:14 - Roger PriestAudience Question:01:02:33 - Josh from Westchester, NY asks about paradigm shifting comic book runs.

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.

Come along as Conor Kilpatrick and Josh Flanagan take a trip to Van Halen City to talk about that week that was in comic books. And while Josh missed an entire part of a comic book and, if you listen closely, you can hear George Clooney the Dog, there's still time for more food talk.Running Time: 01:07:02Pick of the Week:00:02:52 - Captain America #1Comics: 00:11:22 - Batman #5000:18:26 - Catwoman #100:21:34 - The Man of Steel #600:25:07 - Death of the Inhumans #100:31:21 - The Last Siege #200:32:23 - Green Lanterns #5000:34:14 - The Immortal Hulk #200:36:39 - I Hate Fairyland #20Star Wars Corner:00:38:55 - Star Wars #50Patron Pick:00:41:23 - Cosmic Ghost Rider #1Patron Thanks:00:45:28 - Andre Morton00:47:02 - James Feeheley00:48:16 - Brandon Yonker00:49:51 - Zach PindoliaAudience Question:00:52:14 - Matt K. from Long Island, NY calls in to ask about licensed comics.00:59:03 - Steven B. from Maryland has noticed something about Bryan Lee O'Malley.Brought To You By:• Harry's - Go to Harrys.com/ifanboy right now to get a Trial Shave Set!• iFanboy Patrons - Become one today for as little as $3/month!
