The iFanboy.com Comic Book Podcast is a weekly talk show discussing the best in current comic books. Ron, Conor and Josh will share what they loved and hated about the week's comics. With a deep, sometimes scary knowledge of the depths and intricacies of pop culture and the geek lifestyle, the conversations can spin off in many directions. While comics, graphic novels and trade paperbacks are the center of the iFanboy universe, the discussion often covers the video games, movies and TV shows which will capture the fancy of your regular comic book reader. Fun, intelligent, witty and entertaining, the iFanboy crew are just as likely to agree as argue about what's good and what's bad in superhero comics, indie comics, humorous comics, and important graphic novels as well as the creators, writers and artists behind them. We've even occasionally been in the same room as guys like Brian Michael Bendis, Kurt Busiek, Warren Ellis, Jim Lee, Joe Quesada, Steve Dillon, Kevin Smith, Stan Lee and others. It was a big room, but we were in it. This podcast is so good, you don't even need to read comic books to enjoy it, but it's a lot better if you do.

Join Mark Millar as he talks to the artists, writers and fans on the floor at one of the biggest comic conventions in America, Wizard World Chicago!

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.
