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 #636 - Marvel Two-In-One #6 Jun 03, 2018

Show notes

Conor Kilpatrick, once again on walkabout, requires Josh Flanagan to bring in guest host and old pal, Jim Viscardi from Comicbook.com. There's some good Marvel talk, from a Marvel alum, and we get deep into artist appreciation, and ignorant pigeonholing of Judge Dredd stories. It's a hoot, and we have two books with "siege" in the title!

Pick of the Week #634 - The Avengers #2 May 20, 2018

Show notes

It was a week of comics, neither great, nor terrible. Perhaps not full of standouts, but, as it turns out, there's plenty to talk about. Inkers get their due. We tease the heck out of our upcoming Booksplode, we play, "Is this Garth Ennis?*", and we call something stupid.

*It is.
