great vid as allways. i got really interested in two generals i think ill get that.the rocketeer looks good too.i got the dc 75th anniversary book a few days ago and i absolutely love it its gorgeous. you guys forgot to mention the two prints that come in the inside which look amazing.hope you guys have a great xmas.
I really want that Rocketeer book, but I’m already getting Wednesday Comics in hardcover for Christmas, and I don’t want two gigantic books. Next year…
Happy Holidays!
I’m deffo getting the dc poster book 🙂 nice one keep it up 🙂
Here are my recommendations for the love of the comic book art, Icons: Art of Jim Lee for the love of drawing and reprinted Fables Covers (if you missed it the first time) for the love of painting. I will even add Asterios Polyp (if they don’t have it already) for the love of type. That Rocketeer book might be next on my list.
The last few episodes have been giving me a little bit of a problem that I was wondering if anyone else has. My audio is fine but the video freezes, starts working, then freezes in that cycle over and over. I’m watching in iTunes and never had any problems before so I was just curious if it was only me. I’ll just watch here instead, no big deal.
@JoeFX – yeah, I had a bit of that, but I just ran the vid back a bit and it restarted fine. It seemed like it hit around the Kitty/Torpedo area.
Some nice choices. I wonder if they included the Roceteer in NYC in any of those volumes. I believe that was put out originally from Dark Horse, iirc.
Both Torpedo and Backsad look really good. I remember seeing the Torpedo page art way back in the day. Star Wars, Dapper Men, 2 Generals–all looked really good. Chew, I’ll admit I’m curious about, though not drawn to that type art. A lot of good suggestions.
Great call on the DC ready to frame cover book guys, I am gonna buy that right now. Merry Xmas, hope there will be at least TWO MORE SHOWS before the holidays!
just saw the rocketeer artist’s edition on amazon and it looks like idw will be re releasing it next year and is available for pre order
Awesome! I love these holiday gifts episodes.
great mix of books, guys. great show.
Why Oh why did I watch this! I just went on eBay and bought one of those Rocketeer books for me as a Christmas gift to myself! $175 with shipping. My pockets hurt now 🙂
And I just saw it on instocktrades.com for $95 after I already bought it on eBay. Now my heart just hurts.
not letting me download this episode keeps downloading in a html form
@chop360 We need some details. What are you trying to use to download it?
@chop360 Okay, I figured out what you mean. We’re looking into it.
@chop360 We added direct links above to download on the upper right – sorry about that
Wait a minute — where can I get official licensed iFanboy plaid shirts?
My amazon wish list has grown in size now. Thanks iFanboys!
I am convinced you guys need to reneogtiate with Amazon for more money because i just spent £100 (that’s £) on stuff from them all because of you, and rarely do I end watching a show without buying at least three trades from them. Do a Hellblazer show in the New Year please guys. Merry Xmas
Great show guys, all good recomendations. Maybe this year, someone in my family is gonna get me something comic book related
Most of those books are either already in my collection or on my list. Glad to see that I made some solid choices.
It’s not Christmas until that Darlene Love song comes out.
Thanks for the show as always, gentlemen.
Some great collections here, personally I NEED the Chew Omnivore edition – have the first trade, love the art – looks great oversized. Rocketeer is also awesome, very fond childhood memories of the disney movie.
The Taschen DC book that just came out is pretty awesome as well…if you have the cash for it and the muscles to carry it.
Some great selections, guys – looking forward to watching the vid when I get home from work. Really want a look inside that DC poster book as I want to do some decorating!
Man, I need to get that Compendium.
Is this the same Rocketeer Artist’s Edition? Or maybe a smaller size? Amazon lists it as coming from IDW in May 2011. I know this because I just ordered it. My jaw dropped when you guys flipped that open, and I’ve seen the pages in color already.

another great Marvel gift I just realized, The Marvels Project HC. a new classic superhero tale, plus it comes in three different covers, so you can get the perfect one for the person you’re getting it for. so I’m getting that and American Vampire for my brother. I am getting Dark Empire for myself because I’m a selfish bastard.
What’s the name of the song you have playing at the end? It sounds like Mowtown to me.
This was a fantastic episode. You guys added significantly to my wishlist.
@captangerine- “Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)” by Darlene Love. not Motown, but the stable of artists who worked with Phil Spector.
