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.

Conor's coming to us live from San Diego Comic-Con, and Josh is just at home. Actually, Conor's in a hotel just adjacent to Comic-Con, and it's early in the morning, so we make the best of it.

Talksplode #79 – Terry Moore Jun 29, 2018

Show notes

Thanks to iFanboy patrons, it's Talksplode time.

It's our second Texan in a row, as Josh finally welcomes cartoonist and creator, Terry Moore to the long form interview show. Terry's Strangers in Paradise holds a special place in the hearts of the iFanboy founders, and this year, we've seen the return of the beloved characters in a continuation of their story 25 years after it started. In talking about the series and its origins, Terry sheds a light on how to grow an independent comic series in various eras of the comic book industry, and how that's changed. We also talk about what came before comics, and how making that transition worked, and plenty more, like his other series, Echo and Rachel Rising.

You can follow Terry on Twitter to keep up him, as well as visiting the Abstract Studios website.

Pick of the Week #639 - Batman #49 Jun 24, 2018

Show notes

Josh and Conor are in the saddle, and while Conor is recovering, it's a long road. The fascinating world of Bendis' DC work, and what we're looking for out of mainstream comics remain the topics of conversation, and the ever widening lapses of memory. What were we talking about? Oh yeah: Crimping. And Josh gets cranky about dual Patron Picks!
