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 #572 – Kill or Be Killed #6
Caw! It’s time for comics. Some are good. Some are “fine” and others are, as always, infected with that damned Terrigen mist cloud. There’s a bit of rebar talk, and genuine enthusiasm for socks. All that, and dual Rebirth ratings in our make up segment. Also, see if you can find Conor referencing Project Greenlight season 3. It happens. And more.Running Time: 01:08:46Comics:00:01:46 – Kill or Be Killed #600:11:15 – Monsters Unleashed #300:15:56 – Superman #1700:18:34 – The Mighty Thor #1600:22:35 – Batman #1700:28:25 – Nightwing #1500:31:29 – Super Sons #100:32:22 – Daredevil #1700:34:40 – Mother Panic #3Ratings:00:38:00 – Justice League of America: Rebirth #100:42:03 – Batwoman: Rebirth #1Patron’s Choice:00:47:32 – The Wild Storm #1Patron Thanks:00:55:01 – Chris Ferullo00:56:24 – Matt Baron00:56:48 – Joey Rosenberg00:57:24 – Brad PageAudience Question:00:58:18 – Adam asks a completely new question about numbered print runs in comics.Brought To You By:• Bombas – For the most comfortable socks you will ever wear, visit getbombas.com/ifanboy and save 15% off your first order of four or more pairs, plus free shipping.• iFanboy Patrons – Become one today for as little as $3/month!
