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.

May 24, 2012 - Tim Seeley has made a name for himself in comics in a very different way than a lot of creators. Starting off at Devil’s Due, he made a big impact with Hack/Slash, his creator owned ode to slasher movies, showing the way for genre diversification in comics. At the same time, he can work as a writer, artist, or both, and has around plenty of Marvel and DC books. These days, Seeley can be found writing a whole bunch of books. Hack/Slash continues monthly from Image Comics, as will the mystery Revival with his friend and collaborator Mike Norton. Meanwhile, Tim has taken over as the regular writer on Witchblade for Top Cow, and with what time is left over he’s co-created and drawing Exsanguine for Dark Horse with Josh Emmons. Oh yeah, and he’s also writing Bloodstrike for the relaunched Extreme line of Rob Liefeld comics. It’s a lot. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
