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.

If comics talk were donuts, we're the man with the mustache making them, because it's time! The comics are all over the place this week, as are the hosts. There is ex-girlfriend talk too, which doesn't happen often. So we have that going for us. Which is nice.

On this week’s show, after a completely off-the-rails opening, it’s All Spider-Man, Most of the Time as an in-depth discussion of the Pick throws the timing of the show completely off! It’s nice to know that after 21 years, these kind of things can still happen.

This month, Conor Kilpatrick and Ron Richards discuss…
There is a gross discrepancy in the reading loads of your resident Jamokes, and it's too bad if you don't have access to the After Show to see how that turns out. Meanwhile, we've got Yo Joe, some lovely sexy comics that are temporally confusing, and a big ol' dichotomy of art opinions.

A series of catastrophic technical SNAFUs threw this week’s show into chaos! Josh Flanagan almost missed the show entirely, but a late night reconnection of his (and all of New England’s) internet meant a late-night recording session for him and Conor Kilpatrick..,. and that small change to the routine threw our stalwart hosts just a little bit off their game this week. That’s life in the comics podcast business.
