iFanboy - Comic Books
iFanboy
The iFanboy.com Comic Book Podcast is a weekly talk show all about the best new current comic book releases. Lifelong friends, Conor Kilpatrick and Josh Flanagan talk about what they loved and (sometimes) hated in the current weekly books, from publishers like Marvel, DC, Image Comics, Dark Horse Comics, BOOM! Studios, IDW, Aftershock, Valiant, and more. The aim is to have a fun time, some laughs, but to also really understand what makes comic books work and what doesn’t, and trying to understand the craft of this great, often under appreciated art form. Sometimes they agree, and sometimes… they don’t. With decades of experience talking about comics, interacting with comic book professionals, this is all about the love of an art form. If the names Brian Michael Bendis, Amanda Conner, Geoff Johns, Gene Luen Yang, Donny Cates, Jason Aaron, Kelly Thompson, David Marquez, Kelly Sue de Connick, Kieron Gillen, Charles Soule, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Scott Snyder, Tom King, Mitch Gerads, Esad Ribic, Rick Remender, Nick Spencer, John Ridley, Skottie Young, Chip Zdarsky, Jöelle Jones, David F. Walker, Grant Morrison, and Darwyn Cooke get you excited, then this is the place for you. This podcast is so good, you don’t even need to read comic books or graphic novels to enjoy it, but it’s a lot better if you do.

Pick of the Week #632 - Spider-Man #240
Comics did it to us again. Multiple contenders for Pick of the Week status, and plenty of good books to talk about fill up the show very quickly and easily. There's a dash of nostalgia and the continuing conversation about what we as individual readers expect from comics, and if that's OK. Can't they just be superheroes, though? And is it OK to want that? Also, we tease an all-media podcast we might just record.Running Time: 01:09:25Pick of the Week: 00:01:45 - Spider-Man #240Comics: 00:15:08 - The Avengers #1 00:22:41 - DC Nation #0 00:27:27 - Exit Stage Left: The Snagglepuss Chronicles #5 00:41:33 - Action Comics Special #1 00:30:03 - Captain America #701 00:44:08 - Nightwing #44 00:47:19 - Xerxes: The Fall of the House of Darius and the Rise of Alexander #2 00:49:20 - Black Science #35 00:50:43 - Doctor Star and the Kingdom of Lost Tomorrows #3Patron Pick: 00:52:42 - Death or Glory #1Patron Thanks: 00:58:53 - Eric Firth 01:00:12 - Ronan Lennon 01:01:31 - Mark Wood 01:02:44 - Bryce CarrollAudience Questions: 01:04:22 - Jason wants to chime in briefly on Jim Lee.Brought To You By: • iFanboy Patrons - Become one today for as little as $3/month!
