Leave a comment

set_daredevil_netflix_640

There’s a whole lot to cover this episode! Ian and Brent are joined by long-time friends of the show, Donovan Morgan Grant of the The Comic Book Film Revue Podcast, and Chris Johnson, talk Netflix’s Daredevil series, with SPOILERS abound. We talk about the plot, characters, setting, and even his horns. From there, conversation meanders to Gerry Conway‘s issues with DC Comics and creator rights in general, followed by some talk about the first few weeks of DC’s Convergence. Oh, and a little bit of Megacon and MoCCA Fest reactions. Plenty of talk to go around, and even a DeFalco bomb or two for old time’s sake.

HOLY CRAP!!! Has it really been a month since the last Comic Timing came out? That, sirs and madames, is a travesty that must be righted…with a new episode! This time, Adam Withers and Comfort Love of The Uniques join Darrel of Dafixer’s Hideout and No Apologies, and Chris Johnson formerly of Amazing Spider-Cast; Along with Ian and Brent, the discussion is “Everything Old Is New Again.” As DC and Marvel return previous heroes to their former mantles, is this a step backward or forward? Will younger audiences be able to relate to Steve Rogers, Barry Allen and Hal Jordan, the way other related to Bucky Barnes, Wally West and Kyle Rayner? Tune in to find out our thoughts!
