iFanboy.com Comic Book Podcast

A series of catastrophic technical SNAFUs threw this week’s show into chaos! Josh Flanagan almost missed the show entirely, but a late night reconnection of his (and all of New England’s) internet meant a late-night recording session for him and Conor Kilpatrick..,. and that small change to the routine threw our stalwart hosts just a little bit off their game this week. That’s life in the comics podcast business. Note: Time codes are estimates due to dynamic ad insertion by the distributor.

It's a dig for gems on a week where there were more comics than we thought. We're constantly weighing the value of nostalgia in comic book properties, and how much it adds to the experience of comic book stories. We reached no conclusion. The secret is always down to the creative team and how good they told that story. Finally, once more, we need to ask forgiveness from the Italian comic book community.
