Comic Timing – Episode 19.5

Leave a comment

Hey folks. Well, it was bound to happen eventually. For the first time since the lost Episode 5, an episode of Comic Timing has been scrapped. Ian Levenstein goes solo for this .5 episode as all is explained, as well as when you should expect to hear our interview with Steve Bryant eventually. I also touch on art discontinuity, and how it has appeared most recently in a title it should not appear in: Civil War Frontline.

That is all for this week. Again, apologies for this, but I hope everybody enjoys this truncated episode. So thanks for listening, and thanks for downloading.

Comic Timing – Episode 19

Leave a comment

Tonight, Comic Timing goes to the movies! Well, comic book movies at least. We discuss every comic movie we can think of, meaning we go from the good, to the bad, to the so incredibly awful it makes you want to burn your eyes to stop the images from getting to your brain. Yep, we even mention Catwoman. Along the way, the three of us give our thoughts on how Marvel and DC can keep their franchises alive and kicking, what makes Independent Comic movies special, and we read the thoughts of some of our forum members too.

Next week, Comic Timing celebrates episode 20 as we welcome the artist of Athena Voltaire, Steve Bryant to the show to discuss independent comics, his career as an artist, and a whole lot more. If you would like to send in questions or comments for us to pass onto Steve, make sure to do so over at comictiming@gmail.com, and please vote for Comic Timing over at Podcast Alley.

Also, for anyone who wishes to donate to Comic Timing, you can now do so via the donation button on our web site. Anything you can give is greatly appreciated, and there is no pressure to donate, as this is a venture done completely out of passion and desire to talk comics after all.

Thanks to everybody for listening and for downloading, and see you all next week.

Episode 18 of Comic Timing is here, this time with just Matt and I talking comics. We discuss my trip down to Baltimore for the Baltimore Comic Con this past weekend, take a trip from A to Z through the Marvel U, and we go over The Harvey Awards and who they went to this year. Then finally we get into the big announcements of the week that came out of the Marvel Camp this past Monday, including the new writer and artist on Runaways, World War Hulk, and a whole lot more.

Comic Timing – Episode 17

Leave a comment

Episode 17 of Conic Timing has arrived. This week, Matt S., Chris Chavez, known to some as Equinox, and myself discuss restarts vs. continuity. Should the comic companies stick with their rich histories, or would it be alright for them to reset things every now and then for the sake of new readers, and to refresh the character? It is a fun conversation, and Chris brings a lot to the table here, so I hope everybody enjoys it.

I also hope to see anyone going to Baltimore Comic Con this weekend, as I shall be roaming around on Saturday and Sunday. Should be plenty of fun to be had by all. Also, a reminder that our second 22 Pages will be Superman Confidential #1 by Darwyn Cooke and Tim Sale. Here is a link to the listing on DCBS where you can get it for a low 74 cents.

Comic Timing – Episode 16

Leave a comment

Episode 16 of Comic Timing is now up and running. This week, Matt S., Lord Shaper himself Damian Smith, and myself get together to discuss violence in comics. Are comic books still for kids, or is that a thing of the past? And if so, how are we going to get the next generation involved in the world of comic books? We go from Vertigo to Wildstorm to the MAX line to books that probably deserved this distinction, but instead ended up regular titles. If parents get involved in their children and their reading, will it stop them from reading things they should not? All this and a lot more are discussed in this episode, and Damian also premieres his brand new monthly segment, Rogues Gallery. This month he takes on Deathstroke, one of DC Comics most popular villians.

As always, you can e-mail the show over at comictiming@gmail.com, and don’t forget to vote for us on Podcast Alley.

Until next week, thanks for listening, and catch you all next time.
