February 4, 2010 - Brian Wood is stranger to the iFanboy Talksplode, but we've never had more to talk about than what Brian's got going on this month. With Demo #1 by Wood and artist Becky Cloonan coming out in comic stores yesterday, 6 years after volume 1 starts, and DMZ #50 coming out next week with an all star collection of artists, and Northlanders #25 later this month continuing the best arc of the series yet AND DV8 #1 finally coming out in April, Brian's been a busy guy. On top of all that, he also has been working on getting the next volume of the New York Four rolling with Ryan Kelly, so we're flattered that he found an hour to chat with us about his books Highlights include: - Brian Wood pledges a money back guarantee for people who pick up the trade for Northlanders, Volume #3, simliar to how Jason Aaron offered money back on Scalped trades. - How he and Becky Cloonan kept Demo from "selling out" by sticking to a black and white format with no ads. - What it was like to get Jim Lee, Dave Gibbons, Eduardo Risso and a ton of other artists on DMZ #50.

January 31, 2010 - Something was in the air this week, maybe it was the crap ton of comics that came out this week, that lead Josh to pick Detective Comics #861 as the pick, and Ron and Conor to go a little insane on the show this week.

Writer Brian Wood and new to Northlanders artist Leandro Fernandez take you to the cold of Russia in 1020 A.D. for this tale of crime, survival and historical fiction. Brian Wood stopped by and chatted with us for a little bit to tell us about this new issue of Northlanders, from the setting and the basic story to the origins of the research involved with putting this story together. We also find out about what it's like to work with a new artist like Leandro Fernandez and the challenges of giving an artist from South America a story set in Russia in the winters. The Vertigo blog recently highlighted the art of Leandro Fernandez where you can see some dazzling pencils to inks. So give a listen and if you enjoy crime stories, or historical fiction, or survival horror, Northlanders #21 may be a good book to check out at the comic book store tomorrow.

October, 11 2007 - We sat down with Jim McCann, Marvel's marketing/PR guy, and answered YOUR questions. It's a long one, but it's worth it as we discuss everything from the ins and outs of the comic book business at Marvel to totally geeky things like Jim's ideal Avengers lineup. If you dig Marvel or the comic book business, you HAVE to listen to this. We can't thank Jim enough for spending 2 hours with us, answering your questions and geeking out over comics. We all had a blast recording this, and I have to admit, I was so pleased to see the level of questions posted by everyone. So thank you for your questions, as without them we wouldn't have had much to talk about! Head to iFanboy.com to see your questions, in lieu of show notes. We tried to ask every question, but we skipped a few that were redundant to earlier question (i.e. Zombies, late books etc). But we feel as if we covered pretty much the concept behind every question and I hope you agree.

January 10, 2006 - Part 2 of the 2005 Year End round up. In the concluding podcast, we discuss the TV shows that rocked us in 2005, the video games that distracted us, and the comic books that, well, that we read. It's amazing we even recorded this what with World of Warcraft beckoning us.

January 6, 2006 - The first podcast of 2006 and Ron only bought 5 books, well 4 and a half really, and of them X-Men: The End Book 3: Men & X-Men #1 is crowned the Pick of the Week. We continue to analyze the madness of Chris Claremont, time travel and sticking to continuity, as well as read and respond to some listener mail.

January 1, 2006 - We here at iFanboy read a lot of comics, but we also take in a lot of other media. We thought that it might be fun to do a special podcast to chat about the best stuff we saw, read, watched, or played in the year that was. We discuss the best movies, TV shows, comics, and video games that made their way into our world in 2005.

December 30, 2005 - During a quiet winter holiday week, its a big week for comics as Conor picks All Star Batman & Robin The Boy Wonder #3 as his pick of the week.

December 23, 2005 - It's a Christmas miracle, Josh picks Hellblazer #215 as his pick of the week, which was a tough decision since this week was full of such great comics. Some of the other comics discussed are Joe Casey's Iron Man, Geoff Johns disappointing work on Green Lantern, and Phil Jimenez's fine art on Infinite Crisis #3. Listener e-mail asks what good indie books should be checked out and the iFanboy boys share their Christmas wishes. Happy Holidays!

December 17, 2005 - Yes, oh yes, Ron can finally relax, as he celebrates the release of X-Factor #1 as his pick of the week. Marvel's What If and Secret War are the duds of the week. We read some listener e-mail and answer their questions and Josh realizes he completely missed out on Alex Robinson's graphic novel Tricked.

December 9, 2005 - iFanboy.com loves Gotham Central, and more love is given for Gotham Central #38, which spawns the longest podcast ever. Conversation ranges from The Spectre to Infinite Crisis, from Kevin Smith to Robert Kirkman and back around to Penny Arcade and PVP.

December 2, 2005 - Ron was the only who was able to pick up his books, which is a good thing since it was his pick. Unfortunately, Generation M #1, by Paul Jenkins and Ramon Bachs, was the best book of his stack. Also discussed is how Conor's local comic shop shut down.
