Thanks the iFanboy Patrons...Talksplode is back on a monthly release schedule! And we couldn’t be happier to kick things off with the creative team of Corinna Bechko and Gabriel Hardman. Longtime collaborators in both life and comics, Bechko and Hardman moved into creator owned success with their sci-fi/political epic Invisible Republic. Josh Flanagan chats with them about working on licensed prop...

With Conor still in search of the one-armed man, Ron calls in from an undisclosed location to join Josh for a discussion of the nuances of “I got this” along with talking about a selection of comics from the week. Plus Josh conflates the names of comic book creators, poorly. We don’t mention the ambient temperatures right at the end. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

With one of the most anticipated superhero movies of the year upon us, and the next chapter in the DC Universe, Conor Kilpatrick mysteriously disappears leaving Ron Richards and Mike Romo to try and make some sense of this...film.

Ron is away trying to recapture his youth, which he recently sold. So 2 jamokes, Conor and Josh, fight on. You should also prepare yourself for talk of a bridge, and love. Of love and bridges. There’s a lot of that. Other than that, there’s a lot of great comics, and obviously discussion of why that is. It’s kind of what we do. Also ratings. Plus our very first Patron’s choice comic addition. Lear...

It’s the third installment in the re-imagined Star Trek Lens Flareverse — Star Trek Beyond! Conor Kilpatrick and Ron Richards are joined by super-Trekkie Mike Romo to find out if the bad taste of Star Trek Into Darkness has been washed away by the latest effort, directed by The Fast and the Furious vet Justin Lin.

In a rare event, we're coming to LIVE from the San Diego Comic-Con 2016! Well..that may not be entirely true. But Conor Kilpatrick is our man on the street bringing the latest comics news to the masses, while Ron Richards sits idly by at home seething with jealousy (not really.) And where is Josh Flanagan?

All by his lonesome for only the second time in iFanboy history, Josh Flanagan fills airtime. And it makes him thirsty. He also recorded into his laptop mic instead of the much nicer sounding mic he was physically speaking into the entire time. And yet, you will be entertained, dare we say charmed? There’s some aimfulness to this rambling, and a more distilled version of the comic book talking you...

It’s a another one of those pesky fifth weeks, which means there aren’t a whole lot of comics to talk about this week (and again, no DC Rebirth books means no ratings), but even in a light week there are gems to be found, and Conor Kilpatrick, Josh Flanagan, and Ron Richards are just the guys to find them! But if you need three guys to keep the title and details of Jupiter’s Circle and Jupiter’s L...

Ratings (ratings) continue as we tackle more DC Rebirth books. But first, we have to deal with some beautiful wacky wildlife insanity. There’s some good Chaykin, there’s some long term thought, and there’s still a stupid glowing spider logo. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

“More work?” “That’s right! We’re back with another iFanboy Special Edition Podcast!” “What is it?” “It’s a film based on the wildly popular video game franchise from Blizzard, Warcraft.” “Right-o.

Are you...
