A very special episode of Comic Timing Extra Point is here! This is an interview that was conducted with the talented and well-versed artist Jim Calafiore at this year’s Comic Geek Speak Super Show. You may know Jim from such works as Exiles, Deadpool, and Black Panther over at Marvel, as well as Secret Six, Gotham Underground, Batman, and the 2008 Batgirl: Redemption Road miniseries at DC. Now, Jim is working on completing the Kickstarter funded Leaving Megalopolis with Gail Simone, as well as his currently running Kickstarter project Crooks & Nannies, which has 5 days left on its campaign.

    As you might have guessed, Comic Timing will be set up in Podcast Arena yet again at this year’s New York Comic Con! Here’s a basic idea of where we’ll be:

    So that’s the left-hand side of the main exhibitor hall near the back. There will be signage as well pointing out that you’re in Podcast Arena, and there will be a Comic Timing banner up over the booth as well so you can’t possibly miss us even if you try!

This time we are joined by Julian Lytle of Ants, Martheus Wade of Jetta: Tales of the Toshigawa, Shawn Pryor of the PKD Media Blackbox and Action Lab, Jon Carroll of the Carroll Chronicles, Dean Stahl of Headlocks and Headaches, Bill English of Sounded Good on Paper, Raph Soohoo of Geeks Unite! and Chad Burdette AKA Unknown Fanboy.
