Pick of the Week Podcast
Show Notes
Things kick off with an intervention after Conor Kilpatrick’s “performance” on the 250th episode, but the guys quickly work through their issues just in time to tackle even more issues, like a fear of the south, an appreciation for the movie Young Guns, and dealing with Dave Gibbons just not calling us to thank us. The nerve.

Great show guys!
Correctional footnote: Roger Langridge’s Muppet Show comes out through BOOM!
DragonCon is better than San Diego!!!
Great pick! I’ve never been able to get into Thor solo stories (he’s fine in The Avengers) but this series has been an absolute blast.
(for all those wondering about GotG and Nova) In Marvel Previews for November, "The Thanos Imperative" #6 has this printed over the cover art: "The stunning conclusion of the Marvel Cosmic Universe." Make of that what you will.
That and we talked to Abnett and Lanning and they told us it was over after Thanos.
Wow. That was the best voicemail I have ever heard.
^^ i will cry myself to sleep tonight while cradling my nova hardcover
Here’s my respond to your Daytripper comments – AAARRRGGGHHH!!!
response
Listening to that Thanos Imperative segment again, I love how Ron says he thinks Rocket Raccoon "delivers" his lines well. Splendid.
I am really enjoying American Vampire, and I think Snyder is doing is homework. The FBI has been around since 1908, and the Hoover Dam was built between 1931-1936(WIKI). But great show, Thor was awesome, but Daytripper was the best this week, so you had that a little backwards. 🙂
I might check out the hardcover of American Vampire coming out in October cause all that I’ve been hearing on this show was just how great its been, I’m very surprised it has not gotten POW with all of this praise.
Did not see that voicemail coming. Hi-larious.
I’d come to an iFanboy tea party and I’d love to see you all at Dragon*Con.
Mason-Dixon line reference. Mark down this moment in iFanboy history.
Forget Dragoncon. If you want a good mixed geek con Fanexpo is the way to go. I know you guys have passports, come up to Canada!
This is one of my favorite episodes in a while.
And I think one of Connor’s best.
Good insights- funnyt comments and right up until then end when the speech police pulled you over for swerving over the line
you held it together pretty well
I still have grudges against bad stories like Norman Osborn coming back and Byrne’s WCA with Wanda’s kids.
If Brand New Day and OMIT proved anything to me it’s that you need good writers telling good stories and it’s not the marriage that caused bad stories. I see no reason why the writers would abandon their plans and their style of creating good stories if Peter would have been suddenly married coming out of OMIT. I shouldn’t have too but I’m using my own timeline with Brand New Day onward where he just doesn’t remember he’s married because of Mephisto. The actual reasoning being so crazy it’s what I gotta do.
I don’t know how the regular Daredevil title can be so good and I hear that the Shadowland mini is so bad. I’ve heard this in multiple places. I decided to skip the main Shadowland mini but continue reading Daredevil and it’s worked out fine. Maybe it’s because Daredevil has a co-writer. The latest issue made me think more of something from Elektra Assassin.
That song’s beautiful.
Too cold for Slave Leia girls in Canada! Atlanta is the center of hotness!
Picked up the first 3 issues (my LCS was out of #4) of Thor: The Mighty Avenger because of this show…it’s so much fun.
Not gonna lie, I cried in public when I read Daytripper #10, it was really excellent and heartfelt.
