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 #511 - Airboy #4
In an unprecedented event, Conor Kilpatrick gives the pick to the 4th and final issue of Airboy, making it the first series to get the pick of the week for every issue of the series (we're pretty sure at least...). Well deserved and Josh Flanagan and Ron Richards echo the sentiment. Viva Airboy! Also, Ron not really on his best game this week, but Josh is really into the Revolutionary War. Whaddya gonna do?

Pick of the Week #507 - The Twilight Children #1
Again! So many books, and so many things to talk about. We do limit Star Wars Corner discussion, but the Marvel tirades? Not so much. Listen, some people miss the numbers. Who knew? It even makes Josh yawn. A dog gets taken care of! But in all that, is a whole bunch of fantastic comic books out this week. Settle in. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Pick of the Week #506 - Doctor Strange #1
So many comics this week! So many in fact that we had to go slightly longer and and skip the audience questions. But it did allow for an extended look at the “new” Marvel, the return of War Corner, and the further deterioration of Josh Flanagan’s mental capabilities! Learn more about your ad choices.

Pick of the Week #505 - Captain America: White #2
Man down! We've got a man down! But much like Captain America, Bucky, and Nick Fury and the Howling Commandos, Josh and Ron press on! Because that's what Conor would want. Let's hope his recovery is brief, because man, this show was not made for 2 people. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Pick of the Week #503 - Tokyo Ghost #1
Josh is back, and he’s got a bone to pick with Ron and Conor for their comments on the last show. But then, we just get to talking about comics. And Star Wars. Yes, there’s more Star Wars. It’s not our fault. Then there’s the Hawkeye problem and Josh can’t stop. May the force be with you. Always. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Pick of the Week #502 - Batman #44
Okay, first of all, Josh Flanagan was traveling this week so sitting in for him is iFanboy buddy and grand poobah of ComicBook.com, Jim Viscardi. Second, Ron Richards was also traveling this week but he dialed in from his hotel and therefore his audio isn’t that great. We apologize for the hum. Third, there’s a lot of Star Wars talk this week. Like, a lot. Get used to it–we’ve got a long way to go until December 18th. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
