Comic Timing – Episode 31

It’s time for Hollywood! Brent Kossina of BKs Bullets, Raph Soohoo of Geeks Unite! and John Mayo of the Comic Book Page Podcast join in for a thorough discussion on whether or not we feel the comic book world is meat for Hollywood writers. Is the lateness worth it? Do they get the characters right? Do they simply take away jobs from the true comic book writers? We get into it all here.

Update for the non forum goers:

Okay, so you’re probably wondering where the poop the next episode is by now. Well, relax there people, it is coming!

Should hopefully be out once editing is all done, so hang tight, and more Comic Timing will be along before you know it. Thanks for your patience everybody!

    Comic Timing – Episode 29

    Episode 29 is finally here! It took two false starts, an encroachment and a holding penalty to get this one done, but we did it, even it took three days to record. This week, Brent Kossina, and Raph Soohoo, alias Wraithmaker on the forums, author of the Bulleteer Madness Column for Raging Bullets, stop on by to discuss DC Comics in the year 2006. Did they do a better job than Marvel? What titles left us going booyah, and which titles left us going dear God why must this exist?

    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?

    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!

    Comic Timing – Episode 26: 22 Pages # 2

    This week, Comic Timing presents the second installment of our 22 Pages Reviews, which also happens to be Part One of our Confidential Crossover with Raging Bullets! Sean and Jim join Matt and I to discuss Superman Confidential #1, cover to cover. We discuss the large amount of advertisements found inside the book, and whether or not it effected our reading experience negatively, differences in the Tim Sale style in comparison to his previous Superman work, and whether or not Kryptonite can talk.. Also, Sean stumbles onto an interesting find on Wikipedia, Jim talks about blind squirrels, and Matt waxes poetic about 3D glasses. Oh, and we talk about the book too. Good times!

    Part Two of the Confidential Crossover will take on Raging Bullets, and will cover Batman Confidential #1. When we set a date, we will let all you folks know out there when to look for the episode.

    Comic Timing – Comic Longbox Special

    If I could describe this episode to you I would, but I think it has to be listened to to be believed. Just Bill, John Mayo and myself get together for what was going to be Part Two of something, but it turned into something all its own. We do talk comics, but we also talk about something Bill knows very well – himself and his maybe of a show.

    Listen in, let me know what you think, and try not to hate me for associating with Bill. It was all his idea, I swear. Deal?

    As always, you can e-mail the show at comictiming@gmail.com, and please vote for us over at Podcast Alley.

    Next week we will have a show early in the week, as Sean and Jim join us for part one of the Confidential Crossover. If schedules work out, there may be more than one episode next week, but I will keep you posted on that. Until then, enjoy the show, and have a happy and a healthy Thanksgiving, or a happy Thursday for those of you living outside the USA.
