Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time. He's been on the show before, but that was before Mitch's Meteoric Rise™. Largely known as Tom King's most prolific collaborator on Sheriff of Babylon, Mister Miracle, Strange Adventures, and many Batman stories over the years. Now he's about to release his first non-Tom™ comic in years, working with Tim Seeley on the upcoming Peacemaker Presents: T...

This week, Josh Flanagan and Conor Kilpatrick are both exhausted and can’t remember anything. But the most important thing that they have to remember is: earn this.

No one needed this more than Josh and Conor, and it never hurts to have a good week of comics with a lot to talk about. Wait, Josh picked which book? Also, prepare yourself for the longest diversionary conversion in a while, on the subject of eggs. Enjoy. And as always, we apologize.

Hold onto your butts, it’s a Fifth Week™! There aren’t a lot of books to talk about but there is one of the best pizza portrayals Josh Flanagan has ever seen in comics, Conor Kilpatrick misses his cue, and we make change. That’s what we do.

The job is to go through all the comics and pick which is the best, and which others are worth talking about. And Dr. Ryan Haupt had a hell of a job to do that in this monster week of releases. The cream rises, and expectations are subverted, and beautiful art shines through. Plus: hangover talk! Note: Time codes are subject to change depending on dynamic ad insertion by the distributor. Running T...

Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time. We've got a bit of a homegrown hero on the show this time out, as Josh welcomes longtime iFanbase member, and up and coming comic book writer, Jordan Thomas to chat. Jordan came up by making original comics on Kickstarter, and lately publishing Weird Work through Image, Skin Police through Oni Press, and Mugshots and Flash Gordon from Mad Cave. He's...

This week, Josh Flanagan has a migraine and Conor Kilpatrick is half watching a baseball playoff game but that doesn't stop them from taking a deep dive into this week's new comics with a pit stop into the Marvel Database that almost sidetracks Josh completely.

Five years after the original film shocked Hollywood and grossed over a billion dollars at the box office, the Joker team is back with Joker: Folie à Deux, and this time they brought Lady Gaga with them.

The show goes extra long, and that's without so much of what didn't make the cut. That's us: saving you from banality, but also pointing out the glory of Dave Stewart, the unblemished. It's just a good fight scene that takes the gold, and more comic book nonsense. Note: Time codes are subject to change depending on dynamic ad insertion by the distributor.

The iFanboy Animation Brain Trust — Conor Kilpatrick and Ryan Haupt — are joined by Josh Flanagan to discuss the latest release from the DC Universe Animated Original Movie line… Watchmen: Chapter 1!

Again with this Fantastic Four mishegoss? Yes, again with it. And it is weird, wild stuff. There are several "surprisingly good" books in the discussion this week, which is always a good thing.

This week, there’s a Heat Dome over LA and Conor Kilpatrick is melting. Also, Josh Flanagan has entered his Fun Era™ so take your sad boy comics and stuff ’em!

Instantly this week, we jump into books that weren't even on the list. It's never happened. Comics cannot be stopped. Comics finds... a way. What other surprises could find their way into this dusty format? Maybe a couple things, actually. In the meantime, more of Josh's Aliens thing.

The Two Jamokes™, joined by Dr. Ryan Haupt, manage to stay on target with the week in comics while also answering the age-old question: what happens if you add a saxophone to punk music?

This week, Josh Flanagan cracks Vietnam-era writer psychology wide open, while Conor Kilpatrick fails a Star Wars test… or does he? What he definitely does is totally lose his mental facilities by the end of the show. Los Angeles wasn’t built for this kind of prolonged heat! Finally, it’s important to note that despite what these Two Jamokes say on the show, Ravage is a cat and not a dog. But the...
