Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time.Listeners might be sick of hearing about Josh being sick, but a conversation with a great comic creator is always the thing to perk one up. Sina has had a varied career in comics, starting as a Top Cow intern, working in comic shops, making his own indie comics like Not My Bag, Lil' Depressed Boy, and more. He becamethe first editor for Robert Kirkman's Skybound Entertainment, eventually ending up telling Bobby Drake's story in Iceman, and has just now released a stellar YA Graphic Novel,Superman: The Harvests of Youth.

Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time.That makes an even 100 episodes, and there is no way to make an episode more special than just having another great comics with a professional who's spent his whole career in comics, like editor, Will Dennis. When last we spoke, in Talksplode #99, Will and Josh talked about the Vertigo years from start to end. With DC moving to Los Angeles, Will was forced to reevaluate his work in comics and start from scratch. We talk about the changes and challenges that went along with that move, and it's more of what you liked in the first part. For anyone into the business of comics, it's invaluable listening.Total Running Time: 01:24:07Follow Will on Instagram, and check out his professional website for Bespoke Comics.Music:“An End Has a Start"EditorsLearn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to another edition of the book-based podcast in which two guys, Josh Flanagan and Conor Kilpatrick, talk about some of the books they read the previous week as well as answer some emails that are ultimately also book-based. What we're saying is this is a book-based show. They will also spend too much time talking about Josh's car in college and their iFanboy merch preferences. That merch is ultimately book-based as well.

Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time.Jack Kirby has been an integral part of Tom Scioli's career all along. After winning a Xeric Grant for his original comic,The Myth of 8-Opus, he became more widely known for his collaboration with Joe Casey,Gødland, which was an unapologetic love letter to cosmic Kirby style. He then spent some time writing and drawing Transformers vs. G.I. Joe for IDW, and most recently Scioli gained critical acclaim with his comic book biography, Jack Kirby: The Epic Life of the King of Comics. (You can hear our podcast on it here.)

Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time.Very often, when people come from TV to writing comics books, it's a brief infatuation and a quick exit. As the co-creator of Halt and Catch Fire, Christopher Cantwell ran one of the best drama series on cable in the last decade, and then he decided to try his hand at writing comics, starting with Karen Berger at Dark Horse, on She Could Fly, and Everything. Then Cantwell moved over to Marvel on Doctor Doom and Iron Man. He's a long time comic fan, and it shows in the world.

Listen... it was not a great week of comics. It wasn't outright bad, but there are quibbles, there are sticking points, there are moments that didn't lead to full fledged joy. How many times will Josh add a superfluous "you knows" while searching for the words his haggard mind needs? (A: you'll never know, because of the assiduous editing of the program.)

Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time.Already a successful author, Brad Meltzer made a big splash in comics after taking over Green Arrow from Kevin Smith, and following that up with the Identity Crisis mini-series, with Rags Morales, a story that is still talked about today. Then he won an Eisner Award for his work on Justice League, along with Gene Ha. Then he became a TV host, in addition to still churning out his best selling books. In recent years, along with collaborator, cartoonist Chris Eliopoulos, Meltzer has released 19 historical children's books in the Ordinary People Change the World series, the two most recent being I Am Walt Disney and I Am Marie Curie, both out now.You can follow Brad on Twitter, and visit BradMeltzer.com.Total Running Time: 00:42:44Music:“Writer's Cramp"Hüsker DüLearn more about your ad choices.

He's a man who just wants to make comics, any way he can. And somehow, we didn't talk about donuts at all.

It starts off punchy, and then eventually gets to hazy. But in the middle is some genuine comics analysis and introspection, and some damn fine books out this week. Jim Viscardi (comicbook.com) fills in for a recreating Conor Kilpatrick, and tries valiantly to hold on while Josh Flanagan descends into fatigue based insanity. Like Conrad's Heart of Darkness, but with complaints about left hand panel stacking.Running Time: 01:17:54Pick of the Week:00:02:46 - Hey Kids!

Conor's gone on some sort of vacation, so Ryan Haupt joins Josh Flanagan and they talk and talk and talk. Mostly about comics! Josh tries to remember Secret Invasion, but doesn't. But he does remember Dimension Z. The fact is, he has a cold and it's all a white knuckle cognition adventure.

Conor's coming to us live from San Diego Comic-Con, and Josh is just at home. Actually, Conor's in a hotel just adjacent to Comic-Con, and it's early in the morning, so we make the best of it. More good books, with plenty of Pick options, and some surprising up and comers dot the list this week, with quality moving in the right direction, so it's a good time all around.

Thanks to iFanboy patrons, it's Talksplode time.It's our second Texan in a row, as Josh finally welcomes cartoonist and creator, Terry Moore to the long form interview show. Terry's Strangers in Paradise holds a special place in the hearts of the iFanboy founders, and this year, we've seen the return of the beloved characters in a continuation of their story 25 years after it started. In talking about the series and its origins, Terry sheds a light on how to grow an independent comic series in various eras of the comic book industry, and how that's changed. We also talk about what came before comics, and how making that transition worked, and plenty more, like his other series, Echo and Rachel Rising.

Comics did it to us again. Multiple contenders for Pick of the Week status, and plenty of good books to talk about fill up the show very quickly and easily. There's a dash of nostalgia and the continuing conversation about what we as individual readers expect from comics, and if that's OK. Can't they just be superheroes, though? And is it OK to want that? Also, we tease an all-media podcast we might just record.Running Time: 01:09:25Pick of the Week:00:01:45 - Spider-Man #240Comics: 00:15:08 - The Avengers #1 00:22:41 - DC Nation #0 00:27:27 - Exit Stage Left: The Snagglepuss Chronicles #5 00:41:33 - Action Comics Special #1 00:30:03 - Captain America #701 00:44:08 - Nightwing #44 00:47:19 - Xerxes: The Fall of the House of Darius and the Rise of Alexander #2 00:49:20 - Black Science #35 00:50:43 - Doctor Star and the Kingdom of Lost Tomorrows #3Patron Pick: 00:52:42 - Death or Glory #1Patron Thanks: 00:58:53 - Eric Firth 01:00:12 - Ronan Lennon 01:01:31 - Mark Wood 01:02:44 - Bryce CarrollAudience Questions: 01:04:22 - Jason wants to chime in briefly on Jim Lee.Brought To You By: • iFanboy Patrons - Become one today for as little as $3/month!

It’s our old pal and friend of the show Skottie Young back, for the first time in a while. Since iFanboy started, we’ve seen Skottie’s profile in the industry rise higher and higher, to the point now, where he can do what he wants, pick his projects, and still stay a fan favorite in lots of different ways. Josh talks with Skottie about how he runs his career, and how he got here. There’s a little bit of reminiscing, and surprisingly little dad talk. There are several projects coming up that he can only kind of talk about too!Total Running Time: 01:20:17Music:“Blue Blood Blues”The Dead WeatherLearn more about your ad choices.

On the heels of its first anniversary, his occult western The Sixth Gun enters its third ongoing arc, and the second paperback volume is due out in just a few weeks. Later this month we'll see his other Oni project The Tooth, a monster-stomping, anthropomorphic fang OGN drawn by Matt Kindt. Fans of DC's magic characters like Klarion the Witch Boy and the cast of Shadowpact will want to pick up Sorcerer Kings, his four-issue arc on Superman/Batman. Then in June and July, Bunn is hip-deep in Marvel's Fear Itself, with one-shots for Black Widow and the FF, and a four-part Defenders series called Fear Itself: The Deep. Paul talks to Bunn about all of these titles as well as the task of juggling creator-owned and licensed projects, capturing the distinct voices of Natasha Romanoff and the Silver Surfer, Bunn's recent transition to writing full time, and one creepy-ass goat.Learn more about your ad choices.

April 7, 2011 - With the release of the mega event, Fear Itself, from Marvel Comics, we thought it would be a good time to chat with writer Matt Fraction. Fraction tells us what the approach to Fear Itself has been, how he's handling the event status and yet making it a managable, contained story, and what the fan reaction to the book is so far. We also get a tease of what's to come in his upcoming The Mighty Thor. In addition to Fear Itself and Thor, we talk a bit about the close of Fraction's run on Uncanny X-Men and he feels he did on the title and what's to come for Marvel's mutants. On the creator side of things, we get an update on the progress of Casanova and what Fraction's thoughts are around creator owned work vs. work for publishers like Marvel.Learn more about your ad choices.
