Comic Timing – Episode 27

Leave a comment

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!

As always, you can e-mail Comic Timing over at comictiming@gmail.com, and please vote for us over at Podcast Alley, and if you have the time, please fill out our Listener Survey.

Thanks to everybody for listening, and thanks for downloading as well!

Comic Timing – Episode 26: 22 Pages # 2

Leave a comment

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. If you would like to contact Sean and Jim, you can do so over at ragingbullets@gmail.com, and you can e-mail Comic Timing at comictiming@gmail.com. And if you have the time, please vote for Raging Bullets and Comic Timing over at Podcast Alley.

Comic Timing will be back next week with a discussion on parallel universes in comic books. Until then, thanks for listening, and I hope everybody enjoys the crossover!

Comic Timing – Comic Longbox Special

Leave a comment

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.
