Pick of the Week #917 – Avengers: Twilight, Book Three

Eventually, Josh makes a bold, entitled statement about a connection between G.I. Joe and This is Spinal Tap, and he gets it mixed up. The management would like to apologize for his ineptitude and disciplinary steps have been initiated. That had nothing to do with what was otherwise a perfectly fine episode of this program. They talk about comics. Again.

2023 All Media Year End Roundup

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 became the 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. There's no one like Sina, in comics, and we're all better off for it.

Pick of the WeeK #907 - The Amazing Spider-Man: Gang War First Strike #1

Thanks to our awesome Patrons, we’re proud to present another Booksplode!

This month, Josh Flanagan and Conor Kilpatrick take a look at…

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Books I, II, III, IV by Kevin Eastman, Peter Laird, Dave Sim and Gerhard, Michael Dooney, Ryan Brown, Ken Feduniewicz, Jim Lawson, Janice Cohen, & Steve Lavigne!!

What’s a Booksplode? It’s a bi-monthly special edition show in which we take a look at a single graphic novel or collected edition, something we really just don’t have time to do on the regular show.

Running Time: 00:41:17

“Christmas in Hollis”
