Comic Timing – Episode 194: In Memory of Stan Lee

This week, the comic book community lost its greatest spokesman, and one of its most storied creators. Stanley Lieber, aka Stan “The Man” Lee, passed away earlier this week at the age of 95. This episode, Brent, Brandon, Ian and Raph wax poetic on his legacy, especially touching on what Stan meant to us, and to pop culture at large. We also go over some recent reads, because how else would you celebrate the man who made Marvel than to talk about some comics?

This one has Brent Kossina and Ian Levenstein joined by Angela from 2 People Talking and Invisible Jetcast, Chris Johnson now of Dying in the Gutters and Umar of Dafixer’s Hideout as we talk all about the DC Relaunch before all 52 titles were announced.
