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 #587 – Deadpool #31
It’s a fifth week, but there’s plenty to talk about in comics. There is both accord and great rift on the comics of the week, but we come out it of still speaking with one another, but Josh might be close to walking. Or Conor. Could go either way. There’s Funko, and lots of series are ending, but Secret Empire continues, regardless of what you think, so deal with it!Running Time: 01:03:55Pick of the Week:00:01:30- Deadpool #31Comics:00:11:22 – Secret Empire #300:15:10 – Wonder Woman Annual #100:18:47 – Judge Dredd: Funko Universe00:27:44 – Doctor Strange #2100:29:08 – The Flash #2300:32:13 – Black Road #1000:33:35 – Old Man Logan #24Star Wars Corner:00:35:45 – Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #7Patron Pick:00:38:10 – Cable #1Patron Thanks:00:44:58 – José De La Torre00:45:42 – Eduardo Ramirez00:46:24 – Johnny Nelson00:48:16 – Scott GoekeAudience Question:00:49:26 – Kevin wants to know if there’s a good series for the youths.00:52:23 – Andy likes comic book history and needs input.00:56:28 – Steve tries to rend us apart by comparing us to Cheers characters.Brought To You By:• iFanboy Patrons – Become one today for as little as $3/month!
