iFanboy - Comic Books

Conor Kilpatrick and Josh Flanagan get together to talk comics and also to verbally spin out at the very end of the show.

Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time. Katie Cook is an instantly recognizable cartoonist, which is saying something, since she makes quite a bit of her living from licensed properties. From My Little Pony, to Fraggle Rock, to Star Wars, she's worked on a lot of comics. But lately, after moving on from her original creation, Gronk, she's working on a new series for Webtoons.com, Nothing...

Conor and Josh are back at the helm on a week that made picking a winner a little dicey. But pick we must, because we must pick. Some things come to an end and many new things begin, as #1 issues fly at us with reckless abandon. The jamokes find common ground on at least one creator, and we barely talk about being old at all. Running Time: 01:13:54 Pick of the Week: 00:01:23 - The Sentry #5 Comics...

Josh Flanagan is away this week so special guest Paul Montgomery steps into his old co-host role! There’s a lot to talk about so we had no choice but to go extra long to fit it all in! Why so long on a week with so few books? Well, Conor Kilpatrick unleashes quite a bit of Dick Grayson angst, for starters. Running Time: 01:22:00 Pick of the Week: 00:02:00 – Cover #2 Comics: 00:12:57 – Thor #6 00:2...

We went a bit long this week but there was just so much to talk about! Plus, this week in What Can’t the Guys Remember it’s the writer of old Daredevil stories.

It is yet another strong week of releases, and a surprise Pick comes from an unexpected corner. But you might wonder what problems Conor has with this Pick that was definitely not his. Listen on! Come for more Tom King Batman books in the second slot on the show, and yet more Donny Cates Appreciation Society™ meetings, as well of Tales of a Hate Read. Plus it's the rare double Patron Pick! Running...

We haven’t had a show with this many diversions in a long time, but this week, amidst all of the comic book talk, there’s time for excursions into Magnum P.I., Matthew Goode, Teen Titans Go To The Movies, Eddie Vedder, and way more talk about the Gin Blossoms than anyone was prepared for. Running Time: 01:07:10 Pick of the Week: 00:01:08 – Action Comics #1003 Comics: 00:08:55 – Heroes in Crisis #1...

Conor Kilpatrick’s all hopped up on cold medicine and so he used the wrong mic setting! Which he apologizes for! He sounds terrible! Also, Josh Flanagan is here too. His mic sounds fine.

Thanks to our awesome Patrons, we're proud to present another Booksplode! What's a Booksplode? It's a bi-monthly special edition podcast 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 show. This month, Josh Flanagan and Conor Kilpatrick take a look at Superman Blue, Vol. 1 by Dan Jurgens, Karl Kesel, David Miche...

It's a week of pretty good books, but maybe not great books. In any case there were a lot of them. But it was definitely a week for books that are either really for us, or books where we can't figure out who they're for. Or both. Running Time: 01:06:10 Pick of the Week: 00:01:41 - Archie 1941 #1 Comics: 00:11:50 - Journey Into Mystery: The Birth of Krakoa #1 00:15:58 - Fantastic Four #2 00:21:35 -...

It's an evening recording, the tables are turned, and it was a fifth week, and barely any books to talk about. It was glorious. Except the horrifying pig cover. Try not to look into his eyes.

Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time. Do you like Jaws? Do you enjoy talk about the Los Angeles entertainment industry in the early 2000s? Some Darwyn Cooke anecdotes from the animation industry and celebrity encounters? Do you like the work of Jeff Parker and his soothing Carolinean accent even if he can't remember the Swamp Thing movie catch phrase? Well, good news folks, because this...

Conor Kilpatrick’s back! He returns from summer vacation to join Josh Flanagan to talk comic books and they do the best they can considering the creeping heat and the on-set of old man brain. Running Time: 01:11:47 Pick of the Week: 00:02:26 – Batman #53 Comics: 00:14:13 – Extermination #1 00:20:12 – Infinity Wars #2 00:24:14 – Batgirl #25 00:29:56 – Tony Stark: Iron Man #3 00:36:38 – Usagi Yojimb...

It starts off punchy, and then eventually gets to hazy. But in the middle is some genuine comics analysis and introspection, and some damn fine books out this week. Jim Viscardi (comicbook.com) fills in for a recreating Conor Kilpatrick, and tries valiantly to hold on while Josh Flanagan descends into fatigue based insanity. Like Conrad's Heart of Darkness, but with complaints about left hand pane...

Conor's gone on some sort of vacation, so Ryan Haupt joins Josh Flanagan and they talk and talk and talk. Mostly about comics! Josh tries to remember Secret Invasion, but doesn't. But he does remember Dimension Z. The fact is, he has a cold and it's all a white knuckle cognition adventure. Plus we narrowly avoid the "sandwich" question. Running Time: 01:15:59 Pick of the Week: 00:01:19 - Batman #5...

Conor's coming to us live from San Diego Comic-Con, and Josh is just at home. Actually, Conor's in a hotel just adjacent to Comic-Con, and it's early in the morning, so we make the best of it. More good books, with plenty of Pick options, and some surprising up and comers dot the list this week, with quality moving in the right direction, so it's a good time all around. Except for Conor, trapped i...

Ryan Haupt fills in for an absent Josh Flanagan to join Conor Kilpatrick in the weekly comics talk and it couldn't come on a more appropriate time--never has there been a week when there was so much science in comics!

Come along as Conor Kilpatrick and Josh Flanagan take a trip to Van Halen City to talk about that week that was in comic books. And while Josh missed an entire part of a comic book and, if you listen closely, you can hear George Clooney the Dog, there's still time for more food talk.
