Talksplode #115 – Scott Snyder Feb 27, 2025

Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time.

Scott Snyder has been a heavy hitter in the comic book world basically since he first arrived on the scene with Vertigo's American Vampire, and just took off from there, basically taking ownership of the Batman franchise for years. Josh and Scott talk about that start in comics, and then why he returned to Mr. Wayne with Absolute Batman today, not to mention a slew of creator owned, all original stories like Dark Spaces: Wildfire, and Dungeon, Barnstormers, Clear, and on and on. Scott also fearlessly talks about his struggles personally and professionally over those years. It's a long talk, but it might leave you wanting more.

Talksplode #109 – Sina Grace Dec 14, 2023

Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time.

Listeners might be sick of hearing about Josh being sick, but a conversation with a great comic creator is always the thing to perk one up. Sina has had a varied career in comics, starting as a Top Cow intern, working in comic shops, making his own indie comics like Not My Bag, Lil' Depressed Boy, and more. He became the first editor for Robert Kirkman's Skybound Entertainment, eventually ending up telling Bobby Drake's story in Iceman, and has just now released a stellar YA Graphic Novel, Superman: The Harvests of Youth. There's no one like Sina, in comics, and we're all better off for it.

Rick Remender, writer, artist, TV showrunner, teacher, story factory, father, punk rock skateboard kid, old man, and a long time friend of this podcast returns to Talksplode for a record seventh appearance over a fifteen year span. But not one of those chats was Rick and Josh alone, and they get into it. Where does this creative drive come from? Did comics almost lose him? How did he know to stay on this uncharted path of self determined comic book and story creation? Will we be able to come back and talk about The Scumbag a lot more? With his imprint, Giant Generator set to release a new spate of varied stories, like The Sacrificers and The Holy Roller, Rick gives his first long form interview in 3 years, and we're very happy with it.

That makes an even 100 episodes, and there is no way to make an episode more special than just having another great comics with a professional who's spent his whole career in comics, like editor, Will Dennis.

Welcome to another edition of the book-based podcast in which two guys, Josh Flanagan and Conor Kilpatrick, talk about some of the books they read the previous week as well as answer some emails that are ultimately also book-based.

That merch is ultimately book-based as well. How Josh's college car related directly, or indirectly, to books remains, as of now, a mystery.

"Doctor?"

"Doctor."

We get deep into the mysteries of this week's Pick, and are starting to find some other gems in the further reaches of mainstream comics. Who would have guessed it was the clown book?

Talksplode #96 - Tom Scioli May 27, 2021

Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time.

Jack Kirby has been an integral part of Tom Scioli's career all along. After winning a Xeric Grant for his original comic, The Myth of 8-Opus, he became more widely known for his collaboration with Joe Casey, Gødland, which was an unapologetic love letter to cosmic Kirby style. He then spent some time writing and drawing Transformers vs. G.I. Joe for IDW, and most recently Scioli gained critical acclaim with his comic book biography, Jack Kirby: The Epic Life of the King of Comics. (You can hear our podcast on it here.) Josh talked to Tom about his career and the King himself.

Pick of the Week #780 - Time Before Time #1 May 16, 2021

A surprise revelation at the beginning show leads into the realization that it was a fine week of comics, as time travel takes the double prize. Why are some comics numbered weird and named differently than the regular books? Doesn't matter if they're good. Many great G.O.S.H. contenders, and a terrible old man song earworm wraps the whole thing up.

Talksplode #95 - Ibrahim Moustafa Mar 18, 2021

Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time.

Ibrahim Moustafa has made a very cool career in comics over the last decade. As a kid very into breakdancing in the Pacific Northwest, he decided to make a go at being a comics artist. Since that time, he has drawn for Marvel and DC, been nominated for an Eisner for High Crimes, created several of his own stories, written and drawn James Bond comics, culminating in the recent release of the graphic novel, Count, from Humanoids. The first of a three book deal from Humanoids, it's a sci-fi reimagining of the classic The Count of Monte Cristo, by Alexandre Dumas. It's a fantastic success story in comics, and there's even some iFanboy history in there as well.

Follow Ibrahim on Twitter. and Instagram, as well as his website.

Talksplode #93 - Christopher Cantwell Dec 17, 2020

Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time.

Very often, when people come from TV to writing comics books, it's a brief infatuation and a quick exit. As the co-creator of Halt and Catch Fire, Christopher Cantwell ran one of the best drama series on cable in the last decade, and then he decided to try his hand at writing comics, starting with Karen Berger at Dark Horse, on She Could Fly, and Everything. Then Cantwell moved over to Marvel on Doctor Doom and Iron Man. He's a long time comic fan, and it shows in the world.

The lack of our short to medium term memories is a problem, clearly, but we'll be pushing through. We take a trip to the past, and wonder why so much of it feels so great, and then scoot back to the future and wonder if it is so great. Then a mime smokes underwater, and it's fantastic.

Come stare in the abyss.... together. Josh branches out, and it brings him great joy. There's a not inconsequential conversation on how old Batman is, or how old he should be, and why it doesn't make sense, or doesn't matter.

It starts off a little rough, and there is concern about Josh's mental state. Further, we never promise it will get better from there. But onward, we forge, with a lot of Donald Blake and John Walker confusion. There's also comics talk and plenty of it, with a surprising Marx Brothers diversion.

Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time.

The folks at iFanboy have been big fans of Gene Luen Yang's cartooning for a good long time. From his groundbreaking, award winning American Born Chinese, to a stint on Superman and New Super-Man, a take on a Chinese version of the character, to Avatar: The Last Airbender, the massive Boxers and Saints, and now a new run of Shang-Chi for Marvel, seeing Yang's name on a comic means it will be worth reading. With his newest book, Dragon Hoops, from First Second Press recently release, Josh couldn't wait to get to talk to the writer, artist and certified MacArthur genius about his vast body of work and how he goes about it.

Talksplode #91 - Steve Lieber Jul 30, 2020

Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time.

We have been fans of Steve Lieber for a long time, and in that time, he's only gotten better. We talk about his life in comics from falling in love with the art form, to the Kubert school, Whiteout, Superior Foes of Spider-Man, and all the way up though the most recent, and brilliant Superman's Pal: Jimmy Olsen, with collaborator, Matt Fraction. He's a man who puts storytelling first, and apparently didn't even know he could draw funny until he was. And yes, he's working on art while we talk, and you hear it, and that's just fine.

Listen... it was not a great week of comics. It wasn't outright bad, but there are quibbles, there are sticking points, there are moments that didn't lead to full fledged joy. How many times will Josh add a superfluous "you knows" while searching for the words his haggard mind needs? (A: you'll never know, because of the assiduous editing of the program.) Then it all comes together in the end.

Pick of the Week #721 - Doctor Doom #6 Mar 08, 2020

It's a great week for first issues, and in the face of strong, high end contenders, the Pick of the Week (which is not wrong), is a bit of a left turn. Do we have a strong pro-Kang bias? Absolutely. All that's important is 1) Doom and Kang on a train and 2) Shaner ascendent. Put that in the bank.

Thanks to our awesome Patrons, we're proud to present another Booksplode!

What's a Booksplode? It's a bi-monthly special edition show in which we take a look at a single graphic novel or collected edition, something we really just don't have time to do on the regular show.

This month, Josh Flanagan and Conor Kilpatrick take a look at Batman by Neal Adams, Book Three by Neal Adams, Dennis O'Neil, Dick Giordano, Len Wein, and Frank Robbins!

Here's a color/art comparison of one of the pages that we talked about on the show as it is presented in this edition versus The Greatest Joker Stories Ever Told collection:

We talk and talk and talk and talk, which is good, because it's kind of the point, and you get this super-sized show, despite the month plus of weird comic weeks. It's possible Phil Noto stopped by (he didn't), and Josh's dog makes a cameo. And then we keep talking. Conor thought it was 5 years ago. Listen for any of that to make sense. My goodness, we talked a lot.

Pick of the Week #711 – Books of Magic #14 Dec 01, 2019

Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time.

Sometimes, with a little bit of effort, a little bit of luck, and a heck of a comedic and dramatic voice, you can build yourself a career in comics. That's how Kyle Starks did it. You might know him from Rick and Morty, Sexcastle, Rock Candy Mountain, Assassin Nation, or Mars Attacks. Currently, he's running a Kickstarter campaign on his newest project, Old Head. It's about basketball and vampires and it's kind of weird. Josh talks to the writer/artist about how he got here, how he works, a lot of other stuff in between.

Mr. King is back, and we go deeper than ever, including his mom's hand in the invention of an amazing digital format, and what is really happening with the end of his Batman story. And plenty more, leaving you, the listener, this gift of a super long episode.

Talksplode #83 - Joe Caramagna Feb 22, 2019

Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time.

Joe Caramagna is a name you've been seeing in Marvel Comics for quite a while, but there's more to Joe than comic book lettering. We talk about Joe's time at the Kubert school, and in the now defunct Marvel Bullpen. Plus Joe's filling out his comic resume by writing licensed all ages titles like DuckTales and Frozen. He's a man who just wants to make comics, any way he can. And somehow, we didn't talk about donuts at all. Weird.

Pick of the Week #646 - Hey Kids! Comics! #1 Aug 12, 2018

Jim Viscardi (comicbook.com) fills in for a recreating Conor Kilpatrick, and tries valiantly to hold on while Josh Flanagan descends into fatigue based insanity. Like Conrad's Heart of Darkness, but with complaints about left hand panel stacking.

Thanks to iFanboy patrons, it's Talksplode time.

It's our second Texan in a row, as Josh finally welcomes cartoonist and creator, Terry Moore to the long form interview show. Terry's Strangers in Paradise holds a special place in the hearts of the iFanboy founders, and this year, we've seen the return of the beloved characters in a continuation of their story 25 years after it started. In talking about the series and its origins, Terry sheds a light on how to grow an independent comic series in various eras of the comic book industry, and how that's changed. We also talk about what came before comics, and how making that transition worked, and plenty more, like his other series, Echo and Rachel Rising.

You can follow Terry on Twitter to keep up him, as well as visiting the Abstract Studios website.

Pick of the Week #636 - Marvel Two-In-One #6 Jun 03, 2018

Conor Kilpatrick, once again on walkabout, requires Josh Flanagan to bring in guest host and old pal, Jim Viscardi from Comicbook.com. There's some good Marvel talk, from a Marvel alum, and we get deep into artist appreciation, and ignorant pigeonholing of Judge Dredd stories.

Pick of the Week #632 - Spider-Man #240 May 06, 2018

Comics did it to us again. Multiple contenders for Pick of the Week status, and plenty of good books to talk about fill up the show very quickly and easily. There's a dash of nostalgia and the continuing conversation about what we as individual readers expect from comics, and if that's OK. Can't they just be superheroes, though? And is it OK to want that? Also, we tease an all-media podcast we might just record.

From deep in the heart of Texas, Donny Cates is Marvel's newest go-to writer, behind such titles as Doctor Strange, Thanos, as well as the upcoming Venom, and Cosmic Ghost Rider. But that's not all. Behind him, Donny has produced a whole lot of comic book scripts across almost every publisher in comics, including the creator owned Buzzkill, Redneck, and God Country.

Josh Flanagan discussed the creator's start from running comic book stores, to going to comic book art school, working at Marvel, and finally, deciding to write comics for a living.

You can follow Donny on Twitter to keep up with everything he's got going on. Which is impressive

Pick of the Week #567 – Southern Bastards #16 Jan 15, 2017

Say that our podcast is Electro and… It’ll make sense when you listen. Maybe not, actually. Ron, Josh and Conor are back with some comics that were chosen by us to read, and others that were chosen by people who specifically wanted to punish us. But their vindictive voting cannot stem the tide of a good time talking about comics and rating (rating) things, plus TR Talk. Why hasn’t Ron watched Friday Night Lights?

Talksplode #69 – Mark Russell Oct 20, 2016

Thanks to iFanboy patrons, it’s Talksplode time. When we read Prez, we were impressed, and when, shockingly, The Flintstones series was discovered to be one of the best and smartest new comics from DC, we had to find out who this Mark Russell was. So we asked him. Working with cartoonist Shannon Wheeler, Russell released God Is Disappointed in You, and Apochrypha Now from Top Shelf, as well as various other freelance writing, he then found himself with an opportunity to write Prez for DC Comics. We talk with him about that, and bringing that same sensibility to the licensed property of The Flintstones.

Pick of the Week #552 – Aquaman #6 Sep 11, 2016

We’re all over the map this week with the comics talk. Lots of DC legacy discussion, some ratings, some bad jokes and a large amount of great art gets discussed. Plus floppy boots and memories of early 1980s King Arthur movies. Doesn’t get much better than that, does it? Conor thinks it does, and he thinks Aquaman is better than all that. But we know better, don’t we?

Pick of the Week #551 – Lazarus #24 Sep 04, 2016

After last week’s email bacchanal, we’re back to the grind on a so called light 5th week. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t a whole of excellent comics to get right to. Also, we find out, at long last, Ron’s incredible hidden talent, and take a trip down Josh’s memory lane. Also, the KISS song, and the emailer named Ace is a complete coincidence.

Thanks the iFanboy Patrons...Talksplode is back on a monthly release schedule! And we couldn’t be happier to kick things off with the creative team of Corinna Bechko and Gabriel Hardman.

Josh Flanagan chats with them about working on licensed properties, their own original works and of course...pets.

With Conor still in search of the one-armed man, Ron calls in from an undisclosed location to join Josh for a discussion of the nuances of “I got this” along with talking about a selection of comics from the week.

Pick of the Week #546 – Jupiter's Legacy, Vol. 2 #2 Jul 31, 2016

Ron is away trying to recapture his youth, which he recently sold. So 2 jamokes, Conor and Josh, fight on. You should also prepare yourself for talk of a bridge, and love. Of love and bridges. There’s a lot of that. Other than that, there’s a lot of great comics, and obviously discussion of why that is. It’s kind of what we do. Also ratings.

In a rare event, we're coming to LIVE from the San Diego Comic-Con 2016! Well..that may not be entirely true. But Conor Kilpatrick is our man on the street bringing the latest comics news to the masses, while Ron Richards sits idly by at home seething with jealousy (not really.) And where is Josh Flanagan? Two words: Pokemon Go.

Pick of the Week #544 – Daredevil #9 Jul 17, 2016

Pick of the Week #543 – The Sheriff of Babylon #8 Jul 10, 2016

All by his lonesome for only the second time in iFanboy history, Josh Flanagan fills airtime. And it makes him thirsty. He also recorded into his laptop mic instead of the much nicer sounding mic he was physically speaking into the entire time. And yet, you will be entertained, dare we say charmed? There’s some aimfulness to this rambling, and a more distilled version of the comic book talking you have come to expect. Mostly.

Pick of the Week #542 – 4 Kids Walk Into A Bank #2 Jul 03, 2016

It’s a another one of those pesky fifth weeks, which means there aren’t a whole lot of comics to talk about this week (and again, no DC Rebirth books means no ratings), but even in a light week there are gems to be found, and Conor Kilpatrick, Josh Flanagan, and Ron Richards are just the guys to find them! But if you need three guys to keep the title and details of Jupiter’s Circle and Jupiter’s Legacy straight, these are not your guys.

Pick of the Week #539 – GrizzlyShark vs. SeaBear #3 Jun 12, 2016

Ratings (ratings) continue as we tackle more DC Rebirth books. But first, we have to deal with some beautiful wacky wildlife insanity. There’s some good Chaykin, there’s some long term thought, and there’s still a stupid glowing spider logo.

It’s time for a good old fashioned comic book creator talk!

Plus Mitch spent a while on The Punisher and The Activity. We talk about their working together, Mitch’s stylistic past, Tom’s past with the CIA, as well as iFanboy’s secret part in the forming of this relationship. There’s a bit of talk about the industry, and a lot about the craft of comic book making. Plus we have a good time, and try to get to the bottom of how to pronounce “Gerads”.

Pick of the Week #531 - Star Wars Special: C-3PO #1 Apr 17, 2016

Let’s just start with an apology. This week we had a rough time with the recording and the audio quality in general is not up to our standards. Ron Richards is on hotel Wi-fi in Orlando, Josh Flanagan had intermittent connectivity issues at his home base and we might be listening to Conor Kilpatrick slowly dying before our very ears. So we’re sorry about the audio quality. As for the content of the show itself, we cannot apologize. After 11 years, it is what it is. Enjoy!

Pick of the Week #529 - Black Science #21 Apr 03, 2016

It just took one panel with two ridiculous guns to make Ron lose it. Meanwhile, Conor goes deep in sitcom lore to pull out some Hearts of Fire. And Josh? Well Josh wrestles with what he’d do when faced with an interdimensional doppelganger and celebrates Family Ties. Not quite pretentious art-house German, but still fun is had.

There were plenty of books that were OK, and maybe even better than we gave them credit for. We talk about what we got wrong. It’s a grand old time, with a whole lot of inkers.

Pick of the Week #525 - Old Man Logan #3 Mar 06, 2016

It's a podcast full of delights! Josh Flanagan is able to avoid missing the show and good thing, because Conor Kilpatrick and Ron Richards have developed an uncomfortable dependency on Josh's personal brand of comics criticism. And how better to celebrate the week in comics than be coming down hard on fan theories or childhood memories of the B-52s.

Conor, Josh, and Ron are together again, and yet separated by many miles, just as they like it. The comics of the week come up, sure, and a great many wonderful comics they are.

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.

Talksplode #66 - Mark Millar Sep 04, 2015

You know who Mark Millar is. He’s the creative superpower behind so many comics and by extension films made from those comics. Josh Flanagan had a great conversation with the writer behind The Ultimates, Old Man Logan, Wanted, Kick-Ass, Starlight, MPH, Jupiters Circle, Chrononauts, the upcoming Huck, and so many more, you might as well just go to Wikipedia. We talk to Mark about his work, his career from the very beginning, and what it’s like to be Mark Millar right now. It turns out, it’s pretty good. We chat about the idea that some accused Millar of only making comics to be made into movies, and where he stands on digital comics today. Settle in and enjoy the brogue. You can go to Millarworld to see everything Mark has going on, and follow him on twitter, @mrmarkmillar.

Paul Montgomery and Skottie Young continue their their brain-popping journey through Katsuhiro Otomo's landmark (toppling) Akira saga with volumes 3 and 4. In the 21st century, the glittering Neo-Tokyo has risen from the rubble of a Tokyo destroyed by an apocalyptic telekinetic blast from a young boy called Akira -- the subject of a covert government experiment gone wrong now imprisoned in frozen stasis. But Tetsuo, an angry young man with immense and rapidly growing psychic abilities, has done the unthinkable: he has released Akira and set into motion a chain of events that could once destroy the city and drag the world to the brink of Armageddon. Resistance agents and an armada of government forces race against the clock to find the child with godlike powers before his unthinkable destructive abilities are unleashed!

"TETSUO!" "KANEDA!" Paul Montgomery and special guest Skottie Young discuss the first two volumes in Katsuhiro Otomo's landmark manga saga Akira. “Welcome to Neo-Tokyo, built on the ashes of a Tokyo annihilated by a blast of unknown origin that triggered World War III. The lives of two streetwise teenage friends, Tetsuo and Kaneda, change forever when paranormal abilities begin to waken in Tetsuo, making him a target for a shadowy agency that will stop at nothing to prevent another catastrophe like the one that leveled Tokyo. At the core of the agency’s motivation is a raw, all-consuming fear of an unthinkable, monstrous power known only as Akira. Katsuhiro Otomo’s stunning science fiction masterpiece is considered by many to be the finest work of graphic fiction ever produced, and Otomo’s brilliant animated film version is regarded worldwide as a classic.”

Talksplode #65 - Making Comics with Charles Soule and Joe Mulvey Jan 23, 2014

Look who’s back! Josh Flanagan comes out of Talksplode hiatus to speak with a couple of bona fide comic book creators about the process, mind, and lifestyle of the creator-owned comic book maker. From the mind of the artist, to the way to make it work with your life, to the challenges of the modern market, the conversation covers a ton of ground, and is a real insight to what it means to make comics. Charles Soule (Swamp Thing, Thunderbolts, Letter 44, Superman/Wonder Woman) has risen through the ranks of comic book writers over the last year to the point where he’s currently writing seven ongoing series, with a mix of DC, Marvel, and indie series. He’s a returning guest. You can find him on Twitter here. Joe Mulvey is the creator of Scam from ComixTribe, a writer and artist who is paving his own way through comics. He’s currently in the process of a Kickstarter campaign for the SCAM Ultimate Collection, featuring a short story written by Josh himself, as well as hundreds of pages of other content from a host of great names in comics. You can follow Joe on Twitter as well.

Booksplode strikes back with a vengeance as Paul Montgomery, Josh Flanagan and Jeff Reid dissect the Dadaist oddity that is Frank Miller and Lynn Varley's Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again.

We're not going to claim to understand it entirely, but one of us with glasses might hail it one of the best and most important works of all time. It's Josh. He kind of says that.

January 31, 2013 - With Professor Haupt off performing meatball surgery in a dubious tenement, 75% of the iFanboy Animation Brain Trust returns for the second half of Warner Bros.’ Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. Boasting two of the most savage and iconic death matches in comic history, this is likely the pinnacle of ambition for Timm and his team. You might be shocked at just much survived the translation from page to screen, from swastika bosoms to Dutch himself, but just how important is that faithful hand? As with the first half, Conor, Paul and Chris are somewhat divided in their verdict, but some opinions just may actually have shifted in the intermission. Plus! Just how terrifying is Michael Emerson’s Joker? Should Clark button up that blouse when handling bald eagles? Just how stoked are we for upcoming outings Superman: Unbound and Flashpoint? What iconic stories remain untapped but deserving of the animated treatment?

Paul talks to Bunn about all of these titles as well as the task of juggling creator-owned and licensed projects, capturing the distinct voices of Natasha Romanoff and the Silver Surfer, Bunn's recent transition to writing full time, and one creepy-ass goat.

It was not long for the world of publishing, with only 12 issues released, and the vaguest tease of future stories, we got what we got, and that was something special that you weren't going to see anywhere else.

October, 11 2007 - We sat down with Jim McCann, Marvel's marketing/PR guy, and answered YOUR questions. It's a long one, but it's worth it as we discuss everything from the ins and outs of the comic book business at Marvel to totally geeky things like Jim's ideal Avengers lineup. If you dig Marvel or the comic book business, you HAVE to listen to this. We can't thank Jim enough for spending 2 hours with us, answering your questions and geeking out over comics. We all had a blast recording this, and I have to admit, I was so pleased to see the level of questions posted by everyone. So thank you for your questions, as without them we wouldn't have had much to talk about! Head to iFanboy.com to see your questions, in lieu of show notes. We tried to ask every question, but we skipped a few that were redundant to earlier question (i.e. Zombies, late books etc). But we feel as if we covered pretty much the concept behind every question and I hope you agree.

2006 All Media Year End Roundup (Part Two) Jan 03, 2007

And now, the moment you've all been waiting for, part two of the iFanboy 2006 All Media Year End Roundup where we finish discussing everything we enjoyed in 2006 from movies, to TV, to IPTV, to music and of course, comics. As a continued added bonus, comments are open for you to discuss what your 2006 picks were. Enjoy!

Running Time: 00:53:49

IPTV:

00:00:46 - We talk about the big year in IPTV, and Ron watches a whole lot of web video content, such as DL.tv, InDigital, and CommandN.

00:02:15 - We're also watching comedies such as Ask a Ninja, French Maid TV, Tiki Bar TV, and our collective favorite, The Show with ZeFrank. And we all watch it in a different way.

Music:

00:05:30 - Last year we talked about video games, but this year, we're off World of Warcraft, so Ron comes in with his ten favorite records of the year, and we talk about all the different ways we have to get it.

00:07:45 - Ron likes the Fleeting Joys, with their album "Despondent Transponder."

00:08:12 - "Paper Television" by The Blow

00:08:41 - "Begin to Hope" by Regina Spektor

00:09:11 - M. Ward - "Post War" - from the Dude!

00:09:27 - "Bring it Back" by Mates of State. And Josh saw them live, and really dug it.

00:10:10 - Apparently, Ron liked Morrissey's newest album, "Ringleader of the Tormentors".

00:10:23 - "Separate Ways" by Teddy Thompson

00:10:42 - "The Life Pursuit" by Belle and Sebastian

00:11:01 - He loved the movie, and he loves the soundtrack to Stranger Than Fiction.

00:11:39 - And just for the name, the final album is: I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness, with "Fear is on Our Side".

00:13:03 - Josh's favorite song of the year: "Cowboys are Secretly Frequently Fond of Each Other" by Willie Nelson.

00:13:40 - Conor and Ron found resplendent joy at the reunion show for Texas is the Reason.

Comics:

00:16:00 - We enter our comfort zone, and talk comics. Oh that's a nice fit. Was it a big year for comics, or just a big year in comics for us?

00:19:08 - One of the best books of the year, without a doubt, is Daredevil.

00:21:44 - We wrap up The Escapists, and we'll try not to mention it again. We just loved it so!

00:22:23 - The book we were really happy to fall in love with this year was Peter David's X-Factor.

00:25:18 - The Year of the Event!

00:26:07 - DC was event-tastic this year. Ron still doesn't think One Year Later was good. Josh and Conor do not agree. And of course that leads to 52.

00:31:13 - iFanboy are in agreement that Civil War started off great, but we're all ready for it to be done with.

00:33:33 - Jim Lee is too pre-occupied to do a good relaunch of the Wildstorm Universe.

00:35:44 - We're absolutely adoring Absolute editions.

00:37:35 - Best Creators of the year? Brubaker and Brian K. Vaughan.

00:44:22 - We are in the era of the writer. Does the artist matter like he used to?

00:48:08 - Best comic stuff of the year? The Scott Pilgrim Phenomenon? Pride of Baghdad, the resurgence of the Bat Family? San Diego Comic-Con? Comics podcasts?

Come back next week for the regular Pick of the Week podcast! Thanks for a great year!

01:05:36 - Ron is still hanging in with The O.C. and reveals his disturbing history of watching shows like Thirtysomething.

01:13:50 - We are enjoying the creative renaissance of ER.

01:18:05 - The best hour of TV for Conor and Ron is 24, hands down.

01:20:18 - Conor and Josh mourn the end of Deadwood.

01:23:40 - Conor thinks the best show that neither Josh or Ron is watching is Veronica Mars.
