Talksplode #118 - Jason Fabok

Author: iFanboy October 23, 2025 Duration: 1:19:47
Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time. Jason Fabok's first published work was drawing Superman/Batman at DC Comics, before becoming a fan favorite artist on a certain dark knight. Then after over a decade at the top of the DC heap, he went all in on creator owned work, joining Geoff Johns to introduce the new series, Rook: Exodus, from their Ghost Machine publisher, through Image Comics. Jason talks with Josh about his journey into comics, a crucial mentor, and his transition away from DC, among other things.

Every Wednesday, the conversation picks up right where it left off. iFanboy-Comic Books is that reliable weekly check-in with friends who just happen to have spent their lives immersed in panels and word balloons. Hosts Conor Kilpatrick and Josh Flanagan, whose rapport comes from decades of friendship, dive into the newest stacks from Marvel and DC, but also make sure to spotlight the compelling work from Image, Dark Horse, BOOM!, and a host of other publishers. The discussion is less a formal review and more a passionate, often hilarious dissection of what truly worked in a story or art, and what occasionally fell flat. They’re not just listing releases; they’re digging into the craft and the sheer fun of the medium, trying to pin down why certain comics resonate so deeply. Listening feels like being at the comic shop counter on a Wednesday afternoon, debating the picks of the week with the most knowledgeable people you know. This podcast captures the authentic joy and occasional frustration of being a dedicated reader, making it an essential companion for anyone who follows the weekly ritual of new comic book day.
