iFanboy.com Comic Book Podcast
Summary: The iFanboy.com Comic Books Podcast is a weekly talk show discussing the best in current comic book releases. Ron, Conor and Josh will share what they loved and hated about the week's comics. With a deep, sometimes scary knowledge of the depths and intricacies of pop culture and the geek lifestyle, the conversations can spin off in many directions. While comics, graphic novels and trade paperbacks are the center of the iFanboy universe, the discussion often covers the video games, movies and TV shows which will capture the fancy of your regular comic book reader. Fun, intelligent, witty and entertaining, the iFanboy crew are just as likely to agree as argue about what's good and what's bad in superhero comics, indie comics, humorous comics, and important graphic novels as well as the creators, writers and artists behind them. We've even occasionally been in the same room as guys like Brian Michael Bendis, Kurt Busiek, Warren Ellis, Jim Lee, Joe Quesada, Steve Dillon, Kevin Smith, Stan Lee and others. It was a big room, but we were in it. This podcast is so good, you don't even need to read comics to enjoy it, but it's a lot better if you do.

It’s time for a good old fashioned comic book creator talk! Josh Flanagan talks to comic creators and collaborators Tom King, and Mitch Gerads, about their work on Vertigo’s The Sheriff of Babylon, as well as Tom’s work on The Vision, The Omega Men, and Batman. Plus Mitch spent a while on The Punisher and The Activity. We talk about their working together, Mitch’s stylistic past, Tom’s past with the CIA, as well as iFanboy’s secret part in the forming of this relationship. There’s a bit of talk about the industry, and a lot about the craft of comic book making. Plus we have a good time, and try to get to the bottom of how to pronounce “Gerads”.Total Running Time: 01:11:37Music:“King of Rock”
Ratings....Ratings....Ratings! With DC Rebirth upon us we're bringing back the classic ratings by utilizing the PRRs system of Pick a comic, Read a comic and Rate a comic. Conor Kilpatrick kicks things off with his pick of the week and Josh Flanagan and Ron Richards are there to put in their two cents. Ratings! In addition to Ratings, we've got the end of an era, the start of an event that no one seems to care about and much more!
The summer of comics kicks off lots of ennui. Controversy and new starts highlight the week and Conor Kilpatrick, Josh Flanagan, and Ron Richards are ready to roll up their sleeves and work through the issues, clock be damned!
The X-Men return to the silver screen with the latest installment, X-Men: Apocalypse, directed by Bryan Singer and featuring iFanboy fave, Oscar Isaac as well as Michael Fassbender and all the other X-Men peoples. Resident X-Men fanatic Ron Richards is joined by Conor Kilpatrick and Mike Romo to bask in the mutant glory.
The latest comic book television show adaptation brings Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon’s classic Vertigo series PREACHER to life at AMC. Josh, Conor and Ron gather to discuss the first episode. What worked, what didn’t and the eternal question: will Josh keep watching?!?!
In an emotional and stripped down episode, Conor Kilpatrick, Josh Flanagan, and Ron Richards have a few drinks, talk about this week’s comic books, and remember Darwyn Cooke and Timmy Wood.
This time, it’s Ron who is out there somewhere, as Conor and Josh do the Jamoke double, and cover what was a fine week of comic book product, with many potential picks available.
With Josh Flanagan out flying the friendly skies, it’s up to Conor Kilpatrick and Ron Richards to talk about the week that was in comics, a week that was anchored by a grumpy talking duck!
It’s Captain America: Civil War! Is it a third Captain America film? A third Avengers film? A sixth Spider-Man film? All of the above? Josh Flanagan, Ron Richards, and Conor Kilpatrick investigate without coming to too many serious blows!
Some deep comics talk this week as Conor Kilpatrick's pick of the week puts the toys back on the shelves and Josh Flanagan and Ron Richards ponder the questions of life related to motorcycle helmets, deaths in comics and even a little bit of oral sex. Plus...Bobo.
Listen, this week we looked at our stack of comics and decided to let it rip. Why? Because there’s so many delightful comics to be talked about, many of them ending in 6. Josh Flanagan had the pick of the week, it ends being a long one so Conor Kilpatrick and Ron Richards held on for dear life. Plus an update on our Jeepers Creepers Bobble Heads inventory and some other bonus items.
Conor Kilpatrick and Ron Richards are joined by former iFanboy columnist Mike Romo to talk about the second season of the 13-hour original series (from the partnership of Netflix and Marvel Studios) featuring vigilantes, ninjas, and punching–so much punching–Daredevil!
Let’s just start with an apology. This week we had a rough time with the recording and the audio quality in general is not up to our standards. Ron Richards is on hotel Wi-fi in Orlando, Josh Flanagan had intermittent connectivity issues at his home base and we might be listening to Conor Kilpatrick slowly dying before our very ears. So we’re sorry about the audio quality. As for the content of the show itself, we cannot apologize. After 11 years, it is what it is. Enjoy!
The iFanboy Animation Brain Trust — Conor Kilpatrick, Paul Montgomery, and Ryan Haupt — reconvene to discuss the latest DC Universe Animated Original Movie: Justice League vs. Teen Titans! Can fan-and-Animation-Braintrust-favorite writer Bryan Q. Miller save these New 52 version films from themselves? Plus! Hope springs eternal with Batman: The Killing Joke this summer and looking ahead to movies possibly set after the Rebirth!
While Ron, Conor, and Josh all agreed it was an exemplary week of comics, there’s a lot of mud slung this week. Something’s in the air, apparently. Either way, all the hail the coming of Space George Lucas! In celebration, we went long.
