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.

Special Edition - Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace 3-D
February 12, 2012 - It’s time for the iFanboy three to close the book on a legendary chapter in their lives. That’s right, we saw, and are now talking about, for what is destined to be the last time, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace in 3D. Josh, Ron, and Conor have a long history with Star Wars, and this movie takes them back to another time. Does the revisitation reveal anything unexpected about the much maligned movie, or is it as bad as expected. Or is it worse. We try to be more positive than Captain Panaka, which isn’t very hard. We also have no army. Put on your 3D glasses, and sit back. We’re talking about Episode I. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
