iFanboy – Comic Books

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.

Talksplode #95 - Ibrahim Moustafa Mar 18, 2021

Show notes

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.
