Pick of the Week #486 – The Fade Out #6
May 25, 2015 11:49 am Regarding Satellite Sam - according to the next issue solicitation (https://imagecomics.com/comics/releases/satellite-sam-15) they are headlining it as the 'THE END of the first SATELLITE SAM STORY!'. Not sure what this means, but this series is one I've been wanting to start since it was first mentioned as the POW back in EP# 393 (yes, better late than never)...

iFanboy Update: After 13 Years It’s Finally Time To Scale Back
September 2, 2013 2:47 pm Very well said. I feel the same way, hearing the conversations over the years that transcend comics when they discuss pop culture along with hobbies from the entertainment industry. Memories created from listening of past shows, even though I'm not an active participant, are similar to some I have when actually talking with my friends. I've tried other comics podcasts, nothing comes close to matching the chemistry and style of iFanboy.

iFanboy Update: After 13 Years It’s Finally Time To Scale Back
September 2, 2013 12:15 pm I discovered iFanboy after going through the internet video streams on my Tivo, ran across the video on Secret Invasion. Was never a comic reader, only reference I had were the cartoons I watched growing up as a kid (BTAS, X-Men, Spiderman, etc). After watching that show, came to the website and started downloading the podcasts (yes, went back to the very beginning and have listened to each one ever since). Although I didn't visit the website daily, I still appreciated the content provided as I would peruse the net during the day. Sad to see daily operations going away, but thrilled that the podcasts will continue as those have kept me going. You guys got me into comics, and have kept me here - the industry owes you a debt of gratitude for the many others like me who got going because of what you produce.
Take care all, and very much look forward to the shows going forward - it has kept me sane (and awake) during most of the driving trips I've taken over the last five plus years.

Image Expo 2013: Robert Kirkman Celebrates 10 Years of THE WALKING DEAD; Teases the Next 10?
July 3, 2013 10:17 am I remember picking up the compendium at a bookstore before I got into comics, didn't pull the trigger then and there but after some checking around (and discovering iFanboy) I bought the first trade and have been into comics ever since. Great to see the series keeping it going.
