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!!

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.

A timeless machine
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.

Ifanboy podcast review
Really enjoy this podcast, though Conor constantly interrupts his cohosts, and his comments often trail off into a quiet mutter. It’s nice to hear an educated discussion of comics and other media. Recommended!

Focus on Comics
I couldn’t get more than 20 minutes deep into the first episode that I randomly decided to listen to. One of the hosts just wouldn’t stop talking about climate change and COVID, masks, etc. I can only imagine what would happen if I listened to an episode where they discuss the Department of Truth or The Recount.

They Can’t Stop
The hosts can’t stop reviewing comics and I can’t stop listening. The show is a great place to stop by and listen to the week’s comics discussed among friends. Don’t want to hear about this week’s comics? How about a week from a decade ago or a comic book movie? They literally can’t stop and it might be a problem, but I enjoy the heck out of it.

(…& and I’ve tried them all).
I’ve been listening to these jamokes for so many years I’ve lost count. Always consistently informative, entertaining for sure, and amazingly insightful. All that equals fun with guys you wish you were personal friends with. Thanks fellas.

I Think I’ve Heard Enough
I think it’s important to give something a fair chance before writing a review. And after 13 years, I think I can give a fair assessment.
iFanboy is one of my favorite podcasts. The hosts do an incredible of speaking intelligently and critically about the art of making comics while also having a lot of fun. I started listening in 2010 when I was a custodian and had a lot of time to listen to podcasts and read comics, then fell off because I couldn’t afford comics any more. But I started listening again because, quite frankly, I missed hearing Josh, Conor, and (at the time) Ron. This podcast helps me enjoy comics more.

Experienced comic book pro fans
Sorry, bad title; but it’s true! These guyz have been reading comic for like 1,000 years, if they gave their voice and personality to AI that allowed them to continue making podcast for the next 1,000 years and I was a vampire; I’d continue to listen every week! Seriously this is got to be like my FAVORITE podcast! If I’m feeling sad this show has literally forced me to feel good. Lol. Their chill personalities, enthusiasm for comics that have ether great art or great writing shines. They get me excited about comics. They bring a brilliant idea of “Patron Power” where they make up a power for people who’ve donated to them, and it’s just pure genius! It brings the fans closer to the podcast community; really making this pod feel like home. One of the guys the younger guy does bother me sometimes, he seams kinda bitter or negative tbh. However, he does bring a science perspective that is solid. Sorry, I don’t want to lie and say I loved every aspect of this pod. That one nitpick is all. But I know the world is diverse and it’s better that way. But the two main guys are freakin wizards! I wonder if they know how cool they are? I think they are. I’ve only been listening for like 2-3 years now. If you like comic book movies too they discuss those too sometimes. I don’t have friends lol, but I know I can turn on this pod and trick my brain to think I have like minded friends who are excited as I am for cool comic book news, movies, tv shows, etc. Thank you guys from Houston TX!

Great comic book review show
Great comic book podcast with weekly updates and reviews on comic books, movies and others. Great listen for comic book fans.

Simply The Best
I’ve listened to this show for over 10 years.
Josh, Connor (& Ron) are knowledgeable and passionate about comics. Focused and not heavy handed.
They enhanced my enjoyment of a medium I’ve been involved in for almost 50 years.
It’s entertains the way your favorite radio crew is fun. I’ve never met these guys but feel like we are friends from the show.
Worth your time to listen.

Very informative but . . .
They seem to have become jaded when it comes to reviewing comics and come at the job as if it’s a slog rather than a fun hobby and with so many comic book blogs and podcast out there I don’t think anyone would miss them if they were to just stop. Sounds harsh but hearing them complain about the books they have to read when no one’s telling them to read the books is a big turnoff. Having said that it’s nice to hear them when they are actively excited about a storyline or comic. Their film reviews are also informative but they come from a very “fanboy” pov at times which is very off-putting. The recent review of Wakanda forever is a good example of it. Being bothered by the way namor’s name is pronounced is a stupid nitpick and I think they tend to miss the big picture of some films to instead focus on minute details that only a knee deep comic nerd would catch. I’d say my favorite topics are the booksplode episodes cause they can get really deep into a complete story rather than criticize chapters of a story, which is what they do with pick of the week.

Great for staying current
Love to hear what’s happening in comics in general and these guys have a lot of context to provide that. Especially love learning more about specific creators based on their takes.

Best Comics Podcast
Looked for a comic podcast for a long time. This is overall the best one. These guys get it right consistently. They understand the medium. Reviews are fair and honest. They don’t buy into any hype, just clear critiques of the latest books without any pandering to the big two.

Best comic review show
Started listening to a few different comic review podcast a couple of years ago. Ifanboy is the only one I stuck with. The host have honest and thoughtful reviews without being overly negative or positive on any particular title. Also the audio quality is consistently good which is something that is hard to find in a lot of pods. I have gone back 12 years to listen to past episodes of well and can see that these guys demonstrate a commitment to quality podcasting and reviews.

Historically the greatest comic book podcast
Darth Lopez
Ratings… 4.9875
The best comic book podcast in the known sector of… I don’t know, space I guess. Josh and Connor do a great job reviewing comics with a strong critical eye. You don’t have to always agree with them, but you can respect the thought put into their comments. It’s smart stuff. #819 has the best episode description ever!

Makes me love comics
Issues I would have never wanted to buy I end up turning the podcast to go read before finishing the episode because of the love and enthusiasm these guys give their picks.

2 good guys.
I’ve been listening for way over a decade now, and the show is still just as fun, informative, and in-depth as ever. These two know their comics, know what they like, and know how to keep the listener interested. My favorite parts are the Pick of the Week, the Paterson picks, and the email questions that they (usually) answer at the end of the show. I also enjoy the tangents they go off on each episode. And although I’m not one for the super powers they bestow on a few listeners each week, there is still plenty of light-hearted entertainment for any true comic book fan.

Film reviews
Although I listen to their pick of the week podcast, I come here more for the film reviews more than anything. Spider-Man has been out for 6 weeks now and has set an ungodly amount of Box Office records (even my dad saw it) and no review posted?! Also Zack Snyders JL is a comic book brought to life and deserves attention from guys who call themselves ‘fan boys’. I have more fandom in my pinky finger than these guys.

They don't seem to like comics very much.
Complain a lot about having to read comics and do a podcast.

These guys...I’m sorry, whenever I let them back in they tick me off all over again. They’re like the aging social worker or special Ed teacher who’s been at it 20+ years but burned out on their career and just keep doing it because it’s all they know. Most seem unable to derive much pleasure from the worlds of comics, Star Wars, etc. My issue is less so with the main 2 guys as with a couple of the guests (particularly the nasally one who used to be a fan and comes off as a try hard who worries too much about disagreeing with Conor and the main dude). There’s also a guest who is more measured in his tone and usually comes in for the film reviews; I like him just fine.
Case in point, the new Suicide Squad film. I agree the first one was disappointing but this latest one was a riot! I’m a huge comics reader and collector since 1989, my wife could care less, and my 14 year old daughter has a mild interest (unless it’s Hiddleston Loki, then she’s all in!)...all 3 of us came away loving SS2. I was foolishly excited to hear the iFanboy review and had to turn it off after 10 minutes because 2 of the 4 guys could barely find a good thing to say about it. It’s like this all too much imo.
I much prefer Comic Book Guys anymore because their show is informative, fun, funny and doesn’t take itself so seriously.
3 stars because i do still respect and get a lot from their weekly comic reviews. I just wonder if some of these guys should seek a career change for peace of mind. I ended up doing it after a 15-year IT career and have never been happier! For me, It’s just not that enjoyable to listen to people talk about subjects they don’t seem to like all that much.

They can talk in complete sentences! About comics!

Not what it used to be, but not bad.
I listen to the reviews usually. I skip past the ads now, because they take so long. Then I listen to the rest of the reviews then turn it off. It’s not bad for what it is.
Sensei Carter
Good show
I don’t always agree with their opinions but they at least articulate them well.
Update: O don’t mind ads but do they have to be 5 minutes long? Jeez

One of the best Olive Garden Taylor Swift Podcasts
I've been listening to these jamokes for years now and this last episode hit me like a piece of rebar falling off the back of a truck while I'm doing 90 on the highway. There are not enough podcasts that cater to my love of olive garden appetizers, too young pop musicians, and personaly recommendations of comics for people who you used to work with and will never actually hear your recommendation because they don't listen to the podcast. A great podcast to recommend to your mom. Definitely deserves all the 5 star ratings. Ratings.

The Quintessential Comic book Podcast
If you’re looking for a podcast about comics this is it. I’ve been listening to these guys for over 10 years now, and no other comics podcast comes close. They give very professional objective viewpoints, while remaining entertaining. I look forward to every Sunday because of these guys. I can’t recommend it enough.
Saintsfire
Year End All Media Show
Another year, another fantastic Year End All-Media Show. Now just gotta find the time to watch/listen to/read everything they recommended. One of my favorite show to chill out to on a quiet Sunday evening. They're all gdats in my book.

Talking comics
If you're into or at all interested in comics, this is a great podcast to subscribe to. Ron, Josh, and Conor know their stuff. Reviews are honest and interaction with the community is strong. Give it a shot, I think you'll find it both enjoyable and informative.
2019 update: These guys are pros. Makes reading comics more enjoyable.

I don’t even read comics
I haven’t read comics since the late 80’s and yet here i am every Sunday night. I can’t explain it nor do I want it explained. I’m guessing it relates to me on the level that it is guys my age talking pop culture etc. I won’t lie, I miss Ron’s presence but I still love the show with Josh and Connor. It’s just different, you love both of your kids...just differently. These guys are the rebar gouging the competition. Keep it up!

Only comic book podcast left
Joey Esposito quit ogn and his podcast so these are the only ones left! But for real they're great and I love that they talk about the books and give spoiler warnings. I hated comic book shows that wouldn't talk about the comic books in depth.

Fantastic podcast
Connor and Josh are great and fun to listen to and funny. Ron is pretty good in small doses but Ryan is obnoxious and if I see his name in the description I skip those ones. Otherwise great podcast with great speakers. Thank you for taking the time to put these out every week gentleman!
His royal rudeness
Fun stuff
Feels like it’d be a blast to have a few beers and talk comics with everyone involved
M.E.G.K.
Favorite podcast
Been listening for years, love the personalities and the recommendations

Let's talk comics not politics!!
I've been listening to them off and on for years but I think its about time to move on. Most of the books they dislike I love, most of the ones they love I wouldn’t waste my time with. The worst part of it is they feel the need (usually indirectly) to let us know how unhappy they are with Trump. I want to hear about comics not your political views!! And dont get me started on Josh...the dude is just a downer.

My Pull List Hates Them; I Don't
If you need more comics to read, this is a podcast you need to check out. If your pull list is already too large, then you have a problem that doesn't really exist.
The folks behind iFanboy do a great job of introducing new comics, tackling some of the big comic-oriented media properties out there, and giving you insights into the comics world.
Give this show a listen. Your pull list won't thank you, but your brain will!

Essential for fans of popular graphic art
The folks at iFanboy deliver great lively, incisive and informative views on current popular comics and graphic storytelling. Essential listening that keeps people coming back for more. Thank you so much Josh, Conor, and everyone who makes it happen.

Always Entertaining
Even when I take a break from reading comics, I’ll still listen to iFanboy to stay up to date with the comics, but also because they’d just always entertaining.

Decent podcast but listener beware: podcast descriptions do not warn u of spoilers - reprehensible! ...had to stop listening for this reason.

Since the beginning
Been a fan since the getgo, can’t believe it took more than 10 years to write a review. It’s the best out there, I never stopped listening, EVEN when I stopped reading. I miss Ron
