iFanboy - Comic Books

The iFanboy.com Comic Book Podcast is a weekly talk show all about the best new current comic book releases. Lifelong friends, Conor Kilpatrick and Josh Flanagan talk about what they loved and (sometimes) hated in the current weekly books, from publishers like Marvel, DC, Image Comics, Dark Horse Comics, BOOM! Studios, IDW, Aftershock, Valiant, and more. The aim is to have a fun time, some laughs, but to also really understand what makes comic books work and what doesn’t, and trying to understand the craft of this great, often under appreciated art form. Sometimes they agree, and sometimes… they don’t. With decades of experience talking about comics, interacting with comic book professionals, this is all about the love of an art form. If the names Brian Michael Bendis, Amanda Conner, Geoff Johns, Gene Luen Yang, Donny Cates, Jason Aaron, Kelly Thompson, David Marquez, Kelly Sue de Connick, Kieron Gillen, Charles Soule, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Scott Snyder, Tom King, Mitch Gerads, Esad Ribic, Rick Remender, Nick Spencer, John Ridley, Skottie Young, Chip Zdarsky, Jöelle Jones, David F. Walker, Grant Morrison, and Darwyn Cooke get you excited, then this is the place for you. This podcast is so good, you don’t even need to read comic books or graphic novels to enjoy it, but it’s a lot better if you do.

It’s iFanboy 20/25 — 20 years of podcasting and 25 years of iFanboy!

It's iFanboy 20/25 -- 20 years of podcasting and 25 years of iFanboy! This show was recorded one time and one time only.

August 17, 2025 • 84 mins
It's iFanboy 20/25 -- 20 years of podcasting and 25 years of iFanboy! Quality week! Plenty of well done comics and very good times. Josh reaches for a book that hasn't had the Pick in a very long time, and of course, there's time spent on figuring out how long that time was before moving on to the actual show again. But take heart, for there is plenty of show left. Note: Time codes are estimates due to dynamic ad insertion by the...
