A superhero is only as good as his villains, and it's time iFanboy takes a look at the bad guys, and what makes them so good.

What's in the iFanboy comics vault this week? One of the most famous reboots of all time, a rollicking cosmic adventure, and the precursor to one of the most popular series on the stands today!

iFanboy asked our audience what Manga books we should read and on this episode you hear our thoughts on Death Note, The Push Man and Battle Royale. Watch as the iFanboy guys struggle with the Japanese language and find that these comics are actually pretty good!

Robert Kirkman and Brian Michael Bendis meet face to face in Baltimore to debate creator-owned comics!

Artist Ben Templesmith produces spooky pages like no one else in comic books. From 30 Days of Nights to Fell to Dead Space, you know Templesmith's work when you see it.

The most powerful name in Marvel Comics is not Galactus. It's not Magneto. It's not even Dr. Doom. It's Brian Michael Bendis.

The Damned is is Demon Crime Noir, Exit Wounds is a story of relationships and family in Israel, and Emperor Doom is an Avengers graphic novel. See? Nothing in common, except they're awesome.

Politics are everywhere! You can't escape them! This week, iFanboy looks at IDW's Obama and McCain biography comics, and some other series dripping with the business of politics.

Image Comics, the company famously born from an artists revolt, is now the place to find some of the best writers in comic books!

Big superhero movies are not the only comic book properties out. This week, iFanboy takes a look at some of the great comics that have been made into films.

This week on iFanboy, Ron and Sonia talk with creator, writer, and artist Mike Allred about Madman, Red Rocket 7, Fables, and X-Statix, among other things.

With the end of the year comes cold weather, holiday spirit, and comic book voicemails! iFanboy sits down and opens up the voicemail box to hear YOUR comic book questions!

Punisher War Zone is the newest film version of Frank Castle, but he's got a long and varied history in comics. This week, it's everything you've ever wanted to know about the Punisher.

For iFanboy's 100th episode the guys take a look back at some of the comics that started it all. The comics that planted the seeds of obsession!

The season of giving is here, and iFanboy would be remiss if they didn't share some of the best comic book and graphic novels gifts you can give (or just buy for yourself) this holiday season.

What's in the vault this week? Cowboys in space who used to be on TV, hapless workers in a super-villain corporation, and a big, mean bully with aliens living in his nose!

This week, iFanboy takes a look at the comic book death. It can be poignant and touching, or a cheap marketing ploy to sell more books. No character is immune to the reaper's touch, but then again, sooner or later, they'll be back.

Skrulls! Skrulls! Skrulls! If you were reading Marvel Comics in 2008 it was all about Skrulls because of a little mini-series called Secret Invasion. iFanboy takes a look back at this polarizing mini-series.

If you've ever wanted to know about Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, and the early days of comics, Tales to Astonish is the book for you.

Brian Wood and Ryan Kelly, the team behind Local, brings The New York Four, an original graphic novel from the MINX line of comic books. Can this book, aimed at teens impress Ron? You bet it did, and it left him a little homesick.

This week Conor is proud to welcome Daredevil #110 back to the Pick of the Week fold.

Still out in the world, Josh sits on a park bench and talks about Garth Ennis' Hellblazer.

After a week of just too many comics, Josh let's you know what you can expect at the shop this week.

Conor dives into his storage unit to attempt to remember the stories behind the covers! This week: Batman & Robin Adventures #6!

Go in depth on Tim Sale, artist of Batman: The Long Halloween, Daredevil:Yellow, and HEROES, the hit NBC TV show. Tim Sale: Black & White is a beautiful book full of art and interviews with one of the top artists in comics.

When the kids go back to school and the leaves change, it must be time for September's Book of the Month. This month, Josh picks Rick Geary's A Treasury of XXth Century Murder: The Lindbergh Child.

It's so nice to find something new, and Ron's Pick of the Week, The Roberts #1 is just that.

We're back to Wednesday this week, and these are the books Conor is looking forward to. Yes, they're all Batman books.

Josh and Conor sift their way through the Who's Who of the DCU, and unearth some really silly villains.

Because there were too many for one Mini, Josh and Conor are back to laugh at more horrible DC villains.

The Pick of the Week goes to Josh, and he gives the honors to Invincible #52, which just keeps getting better.

Conor breaks out the big gray binder of knowledge!

It's time of week again! New comics are coming this Wednesday and you better not miss The Age of the Sentry #1, All-Star Superman #12, War Heroes #2 and Godland #25. Wait a minute, did we just recommend a book with The Sentry??!?

Josh looks back on the best single issue of Superman he's ever read, Action Comics #775.

So Marvel finally got around to giving us some Silver Age stories of The Sentry with the first issue of The Age of the Sentry. Can writer Jeff Parker save what seems to be a hopeless character?

Terry Moore's newest series proves that Conor's heart lives on to beat another day.

Conor dives into his storage unit to attempt to remember the stories behind the covers! This week: The Avengers #283!

It's an eclectic mix of books out this Wednesday, and Josh takes a look at the comics he's most excited about.

With Phonogram 2: The Singles Club coming out in a few months, Ron wants to make sure you read the first Phonogram story. If you like music and comics, then you need to read Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie's music and magic jam.

Some comic book fans are obsessive about their comic book organization. Josh is not.

If there ever was a comic made specifically for Ron, it's Mark Millar and Tommy Lee Edwards' Marvel: 1985. Issue #5 came out this week and Ron is head over heels in love with Millar's love letter to enjoying Marvel comics.

Josh is back with more old comic book ads. Really old, from Green Lantern #51, from 1967.

A somewhat dramatic reading in 25 stanzas.

It's time for some X-Men love as Ron brings you his Top 5 X-Men (related) bases of operations and headquarters. The X-Men and their spinoff teams have resided in several bases over the years and Ron's picked out his favorites.

The summer has finally ended! And as the weather outside turns cool, iFanboy takes a look at what was hot and what was not in the summer of 2008!

With the series coming to conclusion, it's time for iFanboy to take a long look at the series that was Y: The Last Man by Brian K. Vaughan, and Pia Guerra.

Neither a Crisis nor an Invasion, Josh's Pick of the Week is the sublime Fear Agent #23

August's iFanboy Book of the Month reclaims Captain America and proves you can't keep a good soldier down!

It's a packed week of comic books this week, and Ron jumps the gun on some Image books he's excited about (but aren't actually shipping) Pax Romana #3 and I Kill Giants #2, as well as Wolverine #68 and Final Crisis: Rogues Revenge #2.
