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 #87 - Kyle Starks Oct 17, 2019

Show notes

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.
