What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

The iFanboy crew have been reviewing and analyzing the weekly comic book releases for 25 years first on their website and then the shift over to podcasting 5 years later. Over the past 20 years Conor, Josh, Ron and the rest of their crew of rotating guest hosts have been able to review and offer some great insight into the comic book medium with the Pick of the Week podcast. They were some of the first comic book podcasts to gain support and respect with their insight and fair critiques of the comics from the then up and coming creators of the time who have gone on to become some of the biggest names today. This is definitely worth a listen if you are comic book reader or a lapsed fan who wants to try and know what is happening in the world of comics.

MattJGarcia · Nov 2025

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!!

Egeorgec · Jan 2025

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.

Bizz217 · Jun 2024

I've been listening to these guys since almost day one. And through all that time they have been consistently the best comic book show anywhere. After 931 shows PLUS all the hundreds of "splode" specials, they shouldn't stop now. If they did, It would be like not having green grass. Sure you may not need it, but life would be much less beautiful.
