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 #85 - Tom King Jun 20, 2019

Show notes

Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time.

Back when we relaunched the regular Talksplode episodes almost exactly 3 years ago, Tom King and Mitch Gerads were my first guests. His Batman run was just about to start, today a whole lot of comics have come out of Tom's head. He's still working on Batman, wrapped up the amazing Mister Miracle, also with Mitch. 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.

You can follow Tom on Twitter.

Pick of the Week #687 - Event Leviathan #1 Jun 16, 2019

Show notes

It's an event named Event! Conor and Josh do their damnedest to keep the show shorter than an hour. It doesn't quite work. But that only works out for you, dear listener. Yes, we know Conor sounds a little weird. You'll get used to it. Also, the movie we couldn't remember was 1985's Brewster's Millions.

Paging Doctor Quass, This fall on CBS!

Pick of the Week #686 - DCeased #2 Jun 09, 2019

Show notes

It's a surprise Pick from unexpected corners of the comic world. It's also a completely expected complaint about the overall ambient temperature, just to level things out.

Pick of the Week #684 - The Avengers #19 May 26, 2019

Show notes

Josh Flanagan is back after an unexpected absence, as he and Conor Kilpatrick search for an oasis of calm in comics, while existing in a turbulent world. It was a great week with some stand out books, and Josh will fight going off on a tangent with every single sentence he starts. Also, it's a week of genuine inkers, and we think we like it.
