Comic Timing – Episode 28

Episode 28 of Comic Timing has finally hit the stands! Figuratively of course, since this is a podcast, not a comic book. John Mayo, Brent Kossina, and myself go into a Year End Wrap Up of Marvel Comics this week, as we discuss our favorite titles, some that did not quite hit the spot, and some that we are looking to improve a bit more as 2007 rolls around. This episode is almost entirely edit free as a holiday treat, so you get to hear Comic Timing in its raw form for once. Hopefully it will indeed be a treat, and if not, let me know and I will not do it again, deal?

As always, you can e-mail Comic Timing at comictiming@gmail.com, and please vote for Comic Timing on Podcast Alley, and please Digg Comic Timing over at Digg.com!

I hope that everybody has a happy holidays, and thanks as always for listening and downloading!

Comic Timing – Episode 27

Episode 27 of Comic Timing is finally here. Apologies for the delay in getting this one out, as it was a busy weekend, and I had little time to sit down and edit. But alas, it is indeed here! This episode, Brent Kossina, knightwingbk on the CGS forum, John Mayo of The Mayo Report, and Matt Sommer of Thats What She Said join myself for a conversation on parallel universes in comic books. We touch on What If, Elseworlds, DC and their Parallel Universes, The Ultimate Universe, Heroes Reborn, and plenty more where that came from. Plus, we read some forum comments, and explain in further detail Rob Liefeld and his unsolicited landscape pages for Hawk and Dove, which I first discovered over at Comic Book Urban Legends Revealed. So yes, plenty of great stuff, and thanks to the guys for joining in!
