iFanboy - Comic Books

Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time. Do you like Jaws? Do you enjoy talk about the Los Angeles entertainment industry in the early 2000s? Some Darwyn Cooke anecdotes from the animation industry and celebrity encounters? Do you like the work of Jeff Parker and his soothing Carolinean accent even if he can't remember the Swamp Thing movie catch phrase? Well, good news folks, because this podcast is for you. Not so much an interview as a wide ranging conversation, that we hope you'll enjoy. You can follow Jeff on Twitter to keep up him, as well as visiting his website, jeffparkerwrites.com.

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.

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. Plus we narrowly avoid the "sandwich" question.

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.

Come along as Conor Kilpatrick and Josh Flanagan take a trip to Van Halen City to talk about that week that was in comic books.

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.

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.

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: 01:20:17 Music: “Blue Blood Blues” The Dead Weather Learn more about your ad choices.

These questions and more answered on this episode!
