Guys, you hit it out of the park with this episode! Thank you so much for such an informative look at comics. This episode is the resource for people new to comics and don’t want to be left behind or lost because they have no idea what all of the terminology is about. I made my first visit to my local comic book store with confidence and held a conversation with the man behind the counter without feeling ignorant. He was surprised to find it was my first visit. I told him of this episode on Comic Timing and that he should pass the word to anybody just getting started! Thank you Ian and please pass on my thanks to the rest of the guys in the episode!
