  • Always a blast

    I have been listening to Ifanboy for years now. This is a podcast I always look forward to each week and each special episode.

    It might take you an episode to get in the groove and know the people and the format. But I always laugh and have so much fun even if they arent talking about books that I read. Their criteques are fair and make me think about what I read more.

    All I can say is that this podcast is great, fun and something that is easy to enjoy and you should give it a try!!

  • I'm only into the Pick of the Week and pass on the interviews. I previously gave it a 3 out of 5. Because they'd occasionally toss in Trump Hate and/or Woke Crap. Which is their right to do. But I'm so tired of hearing it shoved into everything. Anyway, I give it a 4 now, because they've recently stayed on subject (comics) better.

  • Stay up to date on this week’s mainstream comics

    THE podcast to listen to for weekly view of the new comics you need to know about. The hosts’ opinions are perfect… not too ‘fanboyish’ and not too cynical or jaded. Their love for the medium really comes thru, but they’re also not afraid to be critical when they think it’s needed.

I think it's very good. They made Clark and Superman more similar personality wise.
