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 #526 - The Mighty Thor #526
Ron Richards is off doing amazing professional things, apparently, so we’ve pulled in a ringer with Jeff Cannata to guest host with Josh and Conor. And we think it worked out OK. There were plenty of books that were OK, and maybe even better than we gave them credit for. We talk about what we got wrong. It’s a grand old time, with a whole lot of inkers.

Pick of the Week #525 - Old Man Logan #3
It's a podcast full of delights! Josh Flanagan is able to avoid missing the show and good thing, because Conor Kilpatrick and Ron Richards have developed an uncomfortable dependency on Josh's personal brand of comics criticism. And how better to celebrate the week in comics than be coming down hard on fan theories or childhood memories of the B-52s. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Pick of the Week #523 - Power Man and Iron Fist #1
Long may we reign! We’re nearly all in agreement on the Pick of the Week just being a good old fashioned excellent comic book. We’re also in agreement about almost everything else that comes up. It is an embarrassment of riches in comics this week. Mostly. Basically, there are no major fights this episode and we’ll probably be back next week. Maybe. Learn more about your ad choices.

Pick of the Week #521 - Unfollow #4
Conor, Josh, and Ron are together again, and yet separated by many miles, just as they like it. The comics of the week come up, sure, and a great many wonderful comics they are. But there’s also a heck of a diversion on the concept of just what a sandwich is, and a literary discussion! Because that’s the kind of show we run. And we don’t apologize.
