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?
