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.

Pick of the Week #607 – Batman #33 Oct 22, 2017

Show notes

Two jamokes by the names of Kilpatrick and Flanagan gather round the microphones to talk about Batman, a short, but not insignificant discussion of underwear, but they cannot discuss the location of the third iFanboy partner. And one of the jamokes left some of his comics 3000 miles away. Finally what is the best choice for desert Bat wear? Yay for renumbering!

Note: Conor’s track has a buzz on it, and we could not get rid of it. We apologize for any effect this has on your enjoyment.

Thanks to our awesome Patrons, we're proud to present another Booksplode! What's a Booksplode you might ask?

This month, we bit off a bit more than we can chew with Cerebus Volume 3: Church and State - Book One by Dave Sim. So much so, that we brought in an expert, famed cartoonist and established podcaster Alex Robinson of Star Wars Minute and The Godfather Minute! Alex joins Josh, Conor and Ron as they try to break into the mythos of Cerebus! Running Time: 00:59:30 Music: "Undisputed King of Nothing'" J Church
