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.

Pick of the Week #692 - Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #1 Jul 21, 2019

Show notes

Conor has to be quiet, because he's in a hotel room in San Diego, and it's very early, and Mama Kilpatrick raised a considerate boy. Also, timing is crucial. And this time... we mean it. Some good mini-series ended, and Chip Zdarsky put out a lot of books. Somehow, we still manage to be excited about comics.

This week we will absolutely not go long... is what we tell ourselves, so Josh Flanagan, returned, takes it off the rails immediately. No, not by the talk. It's good comic talk. What else would you expect. But maybe he's just so excited about his co-jamoke, he can't help it. Anyway, we've got comics and opinions about those comics. Some are starting, and some are ending, and we hope you enjoy it.
