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.

Special Edition - Joker Oct 04, 2019

Show notes

Conor Kilpatrick and Josh Flanagan are joined by former columnist Mike Romo to discuss Joker, the stand alone period piece origin film that is generating wildly disparate reactions in the general movie-going public ... but how will our hosts react? One thing's for sure -- it certainly triggers some memories for three guys who all have lived in New York City.

Talksplode #86 - Brad Meltzer Sep 11, 2019

Show notes

Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time.

Already a successful author, Brad Meltzer made a big splash in comics after taking over Green Arrow from Kevin Smith, and following that up with the Identity Crisis mini-series, with Rags Morales, a story that is still talked about today. Then he won an Eisner Award for his work on Justice League, along with Gene Ha. Then he became a TV host, in addition to still churning out his best selling books. In recent years, along with collaborator, cartoonist Chris Eliopoulos, Meltzer has released 19 historical children's books in the Ordinary People Change the World series, the two most recent being I Am Walt Disney and I Am Marie Curie, both out now.

You can follow Brad on Twitter, and visit BradMeltzer.com.

Pick of the Week #698 – Thor #16 Sep 01, 2019

Show notes

Having so many books to talk about this week leads to a new (old?) segment, Josh Flanagan shows a little episode 700 anxiety, and the hot weather causes Conor Kilpatrick to mentally spin out at the end of the show. Also, Josh forgets to read an important book while digressions into The Goonies and Christmas Vacation almost derail the entire show.
