Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time.

Do you like Jaws? Do you enjoy talk about the Los Angeles entertainment industry in the early 2000s? Some Darwyn Cooke anecdotes from the animation industry and celebrity encounters? Do you like the work of Jeff Parker and his soothing Carolinean accent even if he can't remember the Swamp Thing movie catch phrase? Well, good news folks, because this podcast is for you. Not so much an interview as a wide ranging conversation, that we hope you'll enjoy.

It starts off punchy, and then eventually gets to hazy. But in the middle is some genuine comics analysis and introspection, and some damn fine books out this week. Jim Viscardi (comicbook.com) fills in for a recreating Conor Kilpatrick, and tries valiantly to hold on while Josh Flanagan descends into fatigue based insanity. Like Conrad's Heart of Darkness, but with complaints about left hand panel stacking.

Conor's gone on some sort of vacation, so Ryan Haupt joins Josh Flanagan and they talk and talk and talk. Mostly about comics! Josh tries to remember Secret Invasion, but doesn't. But he does remember Dimension Z. The fact is, he has a cold and it's all a white knuckle cognition adventure. Plus we narrowly avoid the "sandwich" question.

Thanks to iFanboy patrons, it's Talksplode time.

It's our second Texan in a row, as Josh finally welcomes cartoonist and creator, Terry Moore to the long form interview show. Terry's Strangers in Paradise holds a special place in the hearts of the iFanboy founders, and this year, we've seen the return of the beloved characters in a continuation of their story 25 years after it started. In talking about the series and its origins, Terry sheds a light on how to grow an independent comic series in various eras of the comic book industry, and how that's changed. We also talk about what came before comics, and how making that transition worked, and plenty more, like his other series, Echo and Rachel Rising.

You can follow Terry on Twitter to keep up him, as well as visiting the Abstract Studios website.

It was a week of comics, neither great, nor terrible. Perhaps not full of standouts, but, as it turns out, there's plenty to talk about. Inkers get their due. We tease the heck out of our upcoming Booksplode, we play, "Is this Garth Ennis?*", and we call something stupid.

Comics did it to us again. Multiple contenders for Pick of the Week status, and plenty of good books to talk about fill up the show very quickly and easily. There's a dash of nostalgia and the continuing conversation about what we as individual readers expect from comics, and if that's OK. Can't they just be superheroes, though? And is it OK to want that? Also, we tease an all-media podcast we might just record.

From deep in the heart of Texas, Donny Cates is Marvel's newest go-to writer, behind such titles as Doctor Strange, Thanos, as well as the upcoming Venom, and Cosmic Ghost Rider. But that's not all. Behind him, Donny has produced a whole lot of comic book scripts across almost every publisher in comics, including the creator owned Buzzkill, Redneck, and God Country.

Josh Flanagan discussed the creator's start from running comic book stores, to going to comic book art school, working at Marvel, and finally, deciding to write comics for a living.

You can follow Donny on Twitter to keep up with everything he's got going on. Which is impressive

Thanks to iFanboy patrons, it's Talksplode time.

After wrapping up the 60th and final issue of Chew, with John Layman, series artist Rob Guillory laid low for a while. But you knew he had to come back eventually, right? With a style completely his own, and a sense of humor Chew fans will instantly recognize, Rob has just announced Farmhand, his new creator owned series, out in July from Image Comics.

Josh caught up with Rob to talk about the new series, where it came from, as well as how he got there, from starting his career before Chew, and the massive success it became, and where to go from there.

For more on Rob, get over to RobGuillory.com.

It’s our old pal and friend of the show Skottie Young back, for the first time in a while. Since iFanboy started, we’ve seen Skottie’s profile in the industry rise higher and higher, to the point now, where he can do what he wants, pick his projects, and still stay a fan favorite in lots of different ways. Josh talks with Skottie about how he runs his career, and how he got here. There’s a little bit of reminiscing, and surprisingly little dad talk. There are several projects coming up that he can only kind of talk about too!
