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.

iFanboy Pick of the Week #407 – Three #1
Mike Romo is here! Mike Romo is here! Paul took a powder this week, and we forge ahead, some of us broadcasting from a car in the garage, triggering grim deja vu. The comics were hot and the car kept getting hotter, but we've got books of the week, and most of them were #1 issues. We check in on some of the comics announced at New York Comicon as well, and weigh in well before it's wise. Also, we know it wasn't the best connection, but it gets better as you keep going. Our apologies. Also apologies to the British and Phish fans. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Booksplode #11 - Paul Pope's Batman Year 100 with Special Guest Scott Snyder
The year is 2039 and the fabled Batman has emerged from the shadows of history. Let loose the dogs, because things are about to Booksplode.
Special guest Scott Snyder (Batman, The Wake, Superman Unchained) joins Paul Montgomery to discuss Paul Pope's criminally under-appreciated Batman: Year 100. Here, the man beneath the cowl is both mythic and utterly human, an enigmatic soul dedicated to a safeguarding tomorrow's Gotham. Why does Snyder rank the work as of his top five favorite Batman stories? How does it continue to influence his own work? All that and heaps more Batman. Learn more about your ad choices.

iFanboy Pick of the Week #405 – Jupiter's Legacy #3
On this alarmingly sexy edition of the Pick of the Week Podcast, Josh Flanagan, Conor Kilpatrick and Paul Montgomery get all hot and bothered over a teetering tower of terrific comics books. Conor selects a (quite frankly) brutal bit of superhero deconstruction for the lead discussion. Later, the guys talk two potential television projects from DC Entertainment, then wander down memory lane to reminisce on their college era reading habits. Learn more about your ad choices.

Josh returns, and we stumble slightly less through this new era. Paul doesn't want to sound like he does, and let's talk about greater NYC area carpet commercials.

iFanboy Pick of the Week #402 - Batman: Black and White #1
A new era unfolds, but much remains the same.

iFanboy.com Pick of the Week #401 - Batman/Superman #3
Total Running Time: 01:06:36
You're pretty much gonna be talking about what happens at the end, but before all of that, there's a lot of great comic book discussion. Also, Josh is laid low with a cold, and a deep sense of denial. If you like greek yogurt, you should probably skip this one. Also: the Junk Reading and threats! Learn more about your ad choices.
