iFanboy - Comic Books

Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time. And this makes us even.  After wrapping 12 issues of both Rorschach and Strange Adventures, it was only natural that Tom King and Josh get together and talk about them, among other things, like Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. It's a long rambling conversation, which is just how we like it. Follow Tom on Twitter! Total Running Time: 01:45:49 Music: “St...

This week's comics came from behind and really showed up and gave us some things to enjoy and think about, and really turned out to be a delightful stack from the Big 2. Plus, we introduce just a little bit of resentment.

We're back to normal, with 800 episodes behind us. There's good talk about what makes stories and comics good, but that's kind of every week. There's karaoke memory time, and there's talk of gardening and landscaping. There's men who can't remember the word they want to use. It's what you expect. Running Time: 01:13:33 Pick of the Week: 00:01:31 - Captain Marvel #33 Comics: 00:10:10 - Hey Kids, Co...

Conor is finally embarking on his vision quest in the high desert, and our pal Jim Viscardi (comicbook.com) joins Josh, and makes his first Pick of the Week ever. We're told he considers it the greatest moment in his entire life. Two friends get talking and the show goes long and we're all the better off for it. It turns out that we really like a lot of the books that came out this week. Also TV a...

Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time. Finally. Yes, I know. Matthew Rosenberg is back on the show to talk about his new Image book, What's the Furthest Place from Here?, with co-creator Tyler Boss, with whom he also did 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank. He's rolling out a whole project with special vinyl records that you can only get in comic shops, and it's worth looking into. We also touch on...

There is solace in a reliable, dependable comic book that gives you what want and what you need. What does Justin Timberlake have to do with any of this? We can't be sure that it's not nothing, but it's probably nothing. We make underwear suggestions, outside the confines of our regular underwear spokespersons. Also, more uniformed physics discussions! Running Time: 01:14:05 Pick of the Week: 00:0...

Welcome to another edition of the book-based podcast in which two guys, Josh Flanagan and Conor Kilpatrick, talk about some of the books they read the previous week as well as answer some emails that are ultimately also book-based. What we're saying is this is a book-based show. They will also spend too much time talking about Josh's car in college and their iFanboy merch preferences. That merch i...

Josh has figured out the system, aligning Pick of the Week and Patron Pick, and with a low turnout of actual comics this week, we have time for some good listener email. We have a hard time pronouncing words, but the show went well enough, and Tom Taylor does what he does.

Kang is Kang, which is how Kang should be, for he is Kang, now and forever, as he wills it to be so. Some strong G.O.S.H.*, and good feelings about comics leave us with a nice, tight show, and we even get to some great emails. It's smiles all around. *Good Ol' Super-Heroes Running Time: 01:10:04 Pick of the Week: 00:01:21 - Kang The Conqueror #1 Comics: 00:13:48 - Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow #3 0...

It's a bi-monthly special edition show in which we take a look at a single graphic novel or collected edition, something we really just don't have time to do on the regular sh...

The show always goes long but we don't know what happened this week. There was just a lot to talk about! Plus Billy Dee Williams and slightly more about bookmarks than anyone was expecting.

It's a rough week of alright comics, but as always, one shines above, and that one also happens to be dark. It's in the title! No bell this week, because there weren't enough books to do it.

With Conor locked in a closet, Josh has taken over the show all on his own, recording late at night and talking for an hour straight.
