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 #632 - Spider-Man #240 May 06, 2018

Show notes

Comics did it to us again. Multiple contenders for Pick of the Week status, and plenty of good books to talk about fill up the show very quickly and easily. There's a dash of nostalgia and the continuing conversation about what we as individual readers expect from comics, and if that's OK. Can't they just be superheroes, though? And is it OK to want that? Also, we tease an all-media podcast we might just record.

Talksplode #78 - Donny Cates May 02, 2018

Show notes

Thanks to iFanboy patrons, it's Talksplode time.

From deep in the heart of Texas, Donny Cates is Marvel's newest go-to writer, behind such titles as Doctor Strange, Thanos, as well as the upcoming Venom, and Cosmic Ghost Rider. But that's not all. Behind him, Donny has produced a whole lot of comic book scripts across almost every publisher in comics, including the creator owned Buzzkill, Redneck, and God Country.

Josh Flanagan discussed the creator's start from running comic book stores, to going to comic book art school, working at Marvel, and finally, deciding to write comics for a living.

You can follow Donny on Twitter to keep up with everything he's got going on. Which is impressive

Show notes

He's not alone anymore! After taking the reins of the show last week all by himself, Josh Flanagan is once again joined by his co-host Conor Kilpatrick, and they've got (not a) Dr. Ryan Haupt along for the ride.

Pick of the Week #628 - Analog #1 Apr 08, 2018

Show notes

Una jamoke solemente!

Can a man talk for an hour straight about comic books without making a mistake or veering very far off target? It's your chance to find out, as Josh Flanagan once again braves the mic on his own, and talks about every single comic book he read this week. Except Iron Fist #79. It was fine.

He also forgot the rate the Patron Pick. Weak.

Pick of the Week #627 - Jessica Jones #18 Apr 01, 2018

Show notes

There's good stupid and bad stupid and there's a lot of stupid in between. Josh Flanagan and Conor Kilpatrick wrestle with the idea of nostalgia, which can also come in good and bad, as we attempt to justify our opinions over the course of an hour or so. The point is, Bendis should have written The Fantastic Four at some point.
