In the first episode of iFanboy, Josh, Ron, and Conor tell you the top five trade paperbacks that you absolutely MUST own. Of course, since they can't ever seem to agree on anything it ends up being more like the top eleven trade paperbacks you MUST own. Feelings get hurt, egos get bruised and old books fall apart, all in under twenty minutes.
It's a comic book party with iFanboy and Brian K. Vaughan! The guys travel to the ultra-cool Rocketship in Brooklyn, NY for a party that breaks all sorts of fanboy stereotypes. We talk to some fans, and get to chat with the tremendously talented BKV. Plus, could it be that Conor has found love?
This week iFanboy dips into the mail bag and pulls out an e-mail from the snowy, mysterious land known only as Canada. Can the iFanboys answer the questions brought forth from the north? Is a square a rhombus or is a rhombus a square? They can never remember.
iFanboy hits Jim Hanley's Universe in New York, NY for a signing with Peter David and the creative team behind Marvel Comics's X-Factor! What can one man with a microphone do against five interview subjects? Pull up a chair to watch Ron struggle mightily to keep control of the proceedings.
iFanboy takes a look at the Ultimate line of books from Marvel Comics. Has it really been seven years? Somehow Ron made it all of that time without having a heart attack. They examine the highs points, the low points and everything in-between. Well, not everything. This show isn't six hours long.
iFanboy returns to Jim Hanley's Universe in New York City to get the scoop from Ed Brubaker and Dan Slott! It's not all fun and games, though. Like a California wildfire a virus spread through iFanboy leaving death and destruction in its wake. Perhaps that's a bit over dramatic, but the sickness knocked out Josh, which left Ron & Conor to do the show in a haze of over-the-counter cold medicines and ancient, mysterious herbal remedies found only in the deepest, darkest corners of Chinatown.
It's the dead of winter in New York City. Can you think of a better time to hold a major comic book convention? Sure, we can too, but we went anyway, cameras blazing. Much like the 2007 New York Comic Con, this episode is bursting with more than it can hold. Josh, Ron, and Conor do the convention floor as only they can. Along the way, we talked to a lot of people behind the comics we love, like David Petersen (Mouseguard), Jeff Smith (Bone, Shazam), Jae Lee (Dark Tower), Paul Dini (Detective Comics), Brian K. Vaughan (Y: The Last Man) and plenty of others. So settle in for this giant-size episode and enjoy.
This week iFanboy hunts through their bookshelves for hidden gems you might not be so familiar with. If you need a break from the big superhero crossover events, or are just looking for some variety, we've got some suggestions for you. Josh barely contains his animal rage with, My Monkey's Name is Jennifer. Ron gets retro-modern with Smoke and Guns. And Conor brings us some alternate Gotham, with Batman: Holy Terror.
Mere days after the NYCC, iFanboy winged across the country to San Francisco for Wonder Con! What were they thinking? How would their dilapidated bodies handle two major cons in two weeks? And what effect would the legendary Isotope Comics Tiki Tour have on the weekend's proceedings? All of these questions and more are answered here! With special appearances by Matt Wagner (Grendel), David Mack (Kabuki), Judd Winick (Green Arrow), Adam Beechen (Robin), Terry Moore (Strangers in Paradise), Phil Jimenez (Amazing Spider-Man) and more!
iFanboy is back into the viewer mail bag with a question that ponders how each one would reimagine certain characters for the modern world. It is the ULTIMATE challenge but these three ALL STARS are up to the task. Come along, won't you, as the iFanboy pitch their ideas out into the Internet for all the world to claim as their own.
This week, iFanboy takes a good long look at the work of Alan Moore. If you've ever wondered which Moore books you should be reading, this is the place for you. Killing Joke, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, V for Vendetta, Top 10, Watchmen, and others. And what's the deal with that Lost Girls book? Can iFanboy get through a discussion of a book based entirely on sex? At any rate, we tried our best.
Love it or hate it, but if you are a comic book reader, mid-2006 to early-2007 was all about Marvel Comics' CIVIL WAR. This week, iFanboy takes a look back at the event that has (supposedly) reshaped the Marvel Universe. Did they like it? What worked? What didn't? Just how many comic books did you have to buy to follow this story? How many rhetorical questions in a row are too many?
This week iFanboy goes back into the vault for some old(ish) books that you might not be familiar with. Conor showcases some early creator owned work from one of the biggest names in the business, with "A Complete Lowlife". Ron makes a surprise pick with "Batman Adventures: Mad Love". And Josh brings the funny with more creator owned work from a popular name, with "The Adventures of Barry Ween, Boy Genius".
This week iFanboy are talking about the great holy grail of comic conventions, the sketch. If you've never been to a convention, and wanted to know how it works, or just want to see what kind of things you can expect from artist sketches, we've got you covered. We'll talk about who is going all out, and who's phoning it in on the sketch circuit? Plus: Gordon the Intern! You can wonder no more.
Superheroes do nothing for you? Does the sight of grown men and women in colorful spandex get you down? All this talk about costumed crime fighters make you itchy? Well, iFanboy is here to help! This week, the guys spotlight five great books for people who don't like superheroes! Between Fell, The Walking Dead, DMZ, Y: The Last Man, and Fables there is nary a mutant X gene or shadowy scourge of the underworld to be found.
This week, iFanboy talks about Vertigo Comics, and the imprints place in comics today. Some of the best comics ever for grown ups have come from this arm of DC publishing, and we debate whether they've still got it, and what "it" is. In many ways, Vertigo forged the way for modern comics, but will they continue the trend? Sandman, Fables, Y: The Last Man, Transmetropolitan, 100 Bullets and many more books come up in the discussion, and as expected, there's some dissent among the team.
Anything goes! It's an all voicemail show! We haven't listened to any of the voicemails we answer on this week's show. What will you, the iFanboy faithful, have to ask us? Will we agree or disagree? Will a fight break out? Wait, there was a red Superman?
This week iFanboy spends a little time with the work of writer, Robert Kirkman. And then, for the sake of completeness, we decided to go straight to the man himself. Luckily, he was in town promoting his new Image title, The Astounding Wolf-Man. If you've ever wanted to know more about Robert Kirkman, this is the show for you.
Take one major comic book company, four big time writers, one audacious plan for a year long weekly comic book series, and a quarter cup of sugar and stir it all together and you've got a recipe for disaster, right? That's what we thought too, until it came out. This week iFanboy focuses the microscope on 52, the surprise hit series from DC Comics. An entire year's worth of comics analyzed and discussed all in under 30 minutes? Madness.
iFanboy is a team of three dudes working together to bring you a weekly show about comic books. But who works together to bring you your favorite comic books? Well, lots of people and quite frankly iFanboy doesn't have time to talk about all of them. So here's who they think are currently working together the best.
Somewhere along the line, most funny books stopped being so funny. So where do you go to get a dose of humor in your comics? iFanboy is here to help with several choice books that we guarantee will actually make you laugh out loud (iFanboy guarantees nothing.) We've got hollywood agents, angry dairy products and pirates. So lighten up and have a laugh.
As the end of an era comes upon us, iFanboy heads to New York City for the Strangers In Paradise wrap party thrown by the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. It's a wonderful celebration of the 14 year run of the indie comic darling, Strangers in Paradise by Terry Moore. Join iFanboy as they talk with Terry, his wife and publisher Robyn and Chris Staros of Top Shelf Comics about the comic book that stole our hearts for so many years.
This week on iFanboy, Ron, Josh & Conor take on all manner of audience submitted (comic book related) relationship questions! The guys have absolutely no training in this capacity but they do claim to be board certified in the art of love. As a precautionary measure, they sought some female input, just to keep them honest.
The Boys are back, and iFanboy got to have a nice little chat with series creators Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson during a signing to celebrate the re-release of their controversial series. It's not all about The Boys, though, as Ennis and Robertson also delve into some of their other work. Most importantly, not a single person appearing in this video was violently or gratuitously injured in any way. Not on camera at least.
On this, America's Independence Day, the iFanboys celebrate with two of their great loves - comic books and grilled meats. Oh, yes, and some viewer mail. So join the guys as they read some letters, give out some recipes, and do as much as they can to hasten the hardening of their arteries, iFanboy style.
And in the woods of North Carolina, there were Heroes. So Ron, Josh, and Conor packed up, and headed to Charlotte for this year's Heroes Convention. And they talked to Remender, Fraction, Hickman, Powell and more. And they feasted. And there was a mustache, and it was pencil thin. And they rejoiced.
Sure, in the world of comic books, writers and artists get all the headlines - but who REALLY makes a comic book come together? The letterer, that's who! And when you think great comic book letterers, you probably think Chris Eliopoulos. In this episode, iFanboy visits one of the industry's premiere person of letters to find out how he got into the business, how a comic is actually lettered, and to talk about his own comic book creations. So come join us as we roll up our sleeves and get kerning.
This week iFanboy takes another trip into the vault to pull three more books out into the open that you may not have heard of. Come along as Ron asks WHAT IF...?, Conor heads to UNION STATION, and Josh feels a bit CLUMSY. iFanboy's vault has thus far paid way more dividends than Al Capone's.
They'll fight for freedom where ever there's trouble. iFanboy is there. They never give up. They're always there, fighting for freedom over land and air. iFanboy - A real American hero. iFanboy is there. *iFanboy is the codename for America's daring, highly trained comic book podcast. It's purpose, to defend human freedom against CGC - a ruthless, terrorist organization determined to rule the world (and slab all your comics)!* They never give up. They'll stay till the fight's won. iFanboy will dare. iFanboy - A real American hero. iFanboy!

With San Diego as the backdrop two astounding writers in their respective fields, Brian Wood (of Indie and Vertigo comics fame) and Cory Doctorow (of Sci-Fi and Boing Boing fame), come together to discuss Brian's Vertigo series DMZ, creator rights, science fiction and a little bit of politics. Only iFanboy can bring you such a momentous meeting of titans such as this.
All good things must come to an end, and so as the summer comic book convention season wraps up, Ron and Gordon the Intern bring you a report from the floor of Wizard World Chicago. Despite the lack of Booth Babes and the smaller convention floor (not to mention the ominously low black ceiling), the iFanboys have a chat with J. Scott Campbell (Spider-Man), Sean McKeever (Countdown), Jann Jones (DC Comics), Art Baltazar & Franco Aureliani (Tiny Titans), Tony Moore (Fear Agent, Exterminators) and Mark Millar (Civil War, Ultimates).
It's the end of the summer, and iFanboy is celebrating the only way they know how - by the pool with a virtual sack full of viewer mail! What's on the minds of the viewers this week? Manga, comic book storage, "waiting for the trade", Ultimate Fantastic Four, Green Lantern and more! Come on in, the water's fine. And a bit cold.
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. But learning history is not so bad with these books. This week, Josh, Ron, and Conor are talking about comic books based on real life history. 'Ain't none of that made up, flyin' around, space alien crap in this one; just good old fashioned, "tell it like it was" real life stories done on a comic book page.
With the second season premiere of the hit show Heroes mere days away, this week iFanboy takes a look at the work of artist Tim Sale. From his many collaborations with writer Jeph Loeb with Batman: The Long Halloween, Haunted Knight, Superman For All Seasons, Daredevil: Yellow, Hulk: Gray and Spider-Man: Blue to creating the artwork for the psychic character Isaac of Heroes, Tim Sale creates some of the most beautiful and evocative work in comics these days.
This week iFanboy delves once more into their collective storehouse of comics and graphic novels to bring you recommendations for books you might not have known about. Ron chimes in with one of his lifelong favorites, and tells us about the first Savage Dragon Collection. Josh makes his apologies to the creators of Scalped Volume 1: Indian Country. Finally, Conor rediscovers how good Gotham Noir was when he first read it. Basically they're just talking about a stack of good comics.
