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.

Talksplode #100 - Will Dennis Returns
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: 01:24:07

Talksplode #99 - Will Dennis
Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time.
Just in time to fulfill his yearly Talksplode obligation, Josh has a great conversation with longtime editor, Will Dennis. Will was working at Vertigo Comics in the late 90s and early 2000s, which was one of the most fertile times for the publisher, when they introduced many of the creators who would become the superstars of comics today. Will talks about his work as an editor and how he approaches it as a job and a career. It's a side of comics production we still don't talk about enough, it's an entertaining and enlightening talk.
Total Running Time: 01:11:20
Follow Will on Instagram, and check out his professional website for Bespoke Comics.
