Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time. That makes an even 100 episodes, and there is no way to make an episode more special than just having another great comics with a professional who's spent his whole career in comics, like editor, Will Dennis. When last we spoke, in Talksplode #99, Will and Josh talked about the Vertigo years from start to end. With DC moving to Los Angeles, Will was...

One could describe this episode as "rollicking", which is another way of saying "unfocused", but at least Josh had fun, and his second pick in a row. We pour one out for the state of digital comics and we like a lot of things in comics this week. Were you looking for some World War 2 history lessons from less than qualified podcast hosts? Well, strap in. Running Time: 01:10:43 Pick of the Week: 00...

Listen, we’re all getting older and we’re all going to die one day and there’s nothing we can do to stop it. This week’s show, as it is with every week’s show, is about the inexorable march of time and our helplessness in the face of it. And also comic books.

Conor Kilpatrick and Josh Flanagan go through various flights of artistic appreciation fancy, and Conor's lucidity comes and goes with the winds. The revolution continues with correct comic numbering, but the revolutionaries do have some stumbles. Plus you get a bonus comic TV reviews and 2 classic rock stories. Running Time: 01:20:23 Pick of the Week: 00:01:24 - Iron Man #641 (16) Comics: 00:10:2...

We have returned, and we've solved the metaphor running across the history of Thor comics. Mark Russell is pondered once more, and we've been doing all of this for far too long. Too long to stop now, obviously. We're like the letterers. We don't go anywhere. We also repeated some patron powers, so... bonus powers.

The Gentlemen from iFanboy would like to put forth a motion to dismiss all comic book renumberings. This week's books have triumphs and failures, and at least one spectacular page.

It's another strong week, but one conquers all, as it must be. The French are an apparent theme, as well as the exploitation of your billionaire relatives. Also, Josh said Prohibition ended in 1932, but it was 1933, and we are all deeply shamed. And make sure you check out Tough Jews, if it sounds good to you.

Back from assignment, Josh Flanagan is a little rusty and he and Conor Kilpatrick go on way too long on some of these books. But they managed to fit in an email as well as a brief discussions about Teen Wolf and James Brown. So there’s that. Note: Timecodes are subject to change depending on dynamic ad insertion by the distributor. Running Time: 01:02:36 Pick of the Week: 00:02:00 – Dark Knights o...

This week Josh is on assignment so Ryan Haupt stops by and in our books things immediately get mixed up in which makes them hard to even talk about, but we have to talk about something while we wait for Flanagan to come back in from the cold.
