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 #531 - Star Wars Special: C-3PO #1
Let’s just start with an apology. This week we had a rough time with the recording and the audio quality in general is not up to our standards. Ron Richards is on hotel Wi-fi in Orlando, Josh Flanagan had intermittent connectivity issues at his home base and we might be listening to Conor Kilpatrick slowly dying before our very ears. So we’re sorry about the audio quality. As for the content of the show itself, we cannot apologize. After 11 years, it is what it is. Enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices.

Pick of the Week #530 - The Fix #1

Pick of the Week #529 - Black Science #21
It just took one panel with two ridiculous guns to make Ron lose it. Meanwhile, Conor goes deep in sitcom lore to pull out some Hearts of Fire. And Josh? Well Josh wrestles with what he’d do when faced with an interdimensional doppelganger and celebrates Family Ties. Not quite pretentious art-house German, but still fun is had.
