Summary

This week's iFanboy Pick of the Week is sponsored by Jim Hanley's Universe and Netflix! Running Time: 00:57:02 Discussion: 00:00:27 - We present an entire history of Superman since he died, courtesy of a mystery listener. Crazy! Pick of the Week: 00:02:04 - Ron's Pick of the Week was Dynamo 5 #7, because it was just the most fun. Comics: 00:10:24 - The Green Arrow/Black Canary Wedding Special is Conor's favorite book this week, just like the JLA Wedding Special was last week. 00:17:27 - Josh is all about JLA/Hitman #1, and wants DC to get those trades out! 00:22:09 - Captain America #30 is so good it's hard to tell when it's good. But it was good. 00:28:40 - Try as they might, iFanboy just can't get behind World War Hulk #4. Conor's doing it page by page from here on out. 00:32:49 - Ron takes a spin at the The Umbrella Academy #1 made by rock stars and Brazillians. 00:32:38 - The Irredeemable Ant-Man ends, but it turns out he might not be so irredeemable. 00:41:15 - Josh was not so in love with Countdown this week. Per usual, there is a disagreement. E-Mails: 00:39:23 - Both Rusty from Boston, Massachusetts and Sam from Baltimore, Maryland have been a bit disappointed by Y: The Last Man, and they make a lot of good points about why it's not good. They're wrong, but we read the letters anyway. 00:41:46 - Greg from Florida wants to know how we'd teach a course in comics. Voicemails: 00:45:02 - Luke from Denver, Colorado is quizzing iFanboy on some indie works, like The Nightly News, Martha Washington, and Action Philosophers. 00:47:47 - Craig from Kansas wants to know if we saw the Doctor Strange movie, which we didn't, but we did see Superman: Doomsday, and we just did a podcast about it! 00:49:22 - Carol from St. Louis, Missouri wants to know what comics should be adapted for TV. 00:52:02 - Oh yes, he's back. News: 00:53:13 - Don't forget about the live taping of the 100th episode! After, come for drinks and hanging out at Stout. We hope to see you Friday!

0:36.7	Music episode 99, sponsored by Jim Hainley's universe and Netflix. Hi, and welcome to I Fanboy, the comic book podcast for Ron, Connor, and Josh, sit around and spoil the week's books.
1:06.0	That's right, I said spoil the week's books.
1:09.0	So if you don't want to know about stuff like Superman dying
1:11.9	and then coming back and then having no powers, and then getting married to Lois Lane and then
1:16.9	regaining his powers, but they're all electrically. And then he split into two people, and then
1:20.5	he was normal Superman again. And then the city was all 21st century craziness with Lex
1:25.9	Luther being the president. And then he fought off this guy that was going to eat the planet, but then he stopped him

1:52.5	Wow, that was so convoluted Superman history.
1:55.2	Well, that's, that's, that's, it was astonishingly accurate, though, wasn't it?
1:59.2	I have a feeling that any time, any, any time you lay out a history of a character like that,
2:03.1	for any character, it's going to sound like you want to shoot yourself in the head.
