Ian and Brent got to record in person in Florida over Christmas break, and here is the glorious result. Topics include Brent’s thoughts on Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, combined conversation on The Marvels, Blue Beetle, the burial of Comixology, trains passing by, David Corensweat and James Gunn’s Superman Legacy to come, and so much more. Earmuffs as always with these, as there is the occasional off-color comment or language that comes with two friends communing in a park for a podcast. Like you do. Enjoy, and Happy 2024 all!

Our second episode of the Social Distancing Era is now out, as Ian, Brent, Brandon and Kris are joined by longtime friend of the show, and artist extraordinaire, Jamal Igle! Jamal brings his wealth of knowledge on the comics industry to the table here, as the crew discuss the current state of things, including changes in distribution, the rise of digital, Lunar Distributors and UCS Distributors and how much of a challenge they actually are for Diamond, what readership numbers and sales revenue really looks like in today’s world, and a whole lot more. And oh, we also discuss pasta extraordinaire, and soon to be Batman Robert Pattinson, and his choice to not work out while quarantined. That too.
The key art for this episode will only make sense to those of you who listen to the episode all the way through the credits, just so ya know. The show starts off with Ian solo talking Snowpiercer, both the movie and the comic, and Captain America, and then transitions into Ian, Brent, Brandon and Raph discussing some Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. casting news, further thoughts on The Flash pilot, and then there is a lengthy discussion on digital comics and Marvel’s Digital Comics Unlimited platform and how ti might effect numbers on titles that are available in the marketplace. Check it all out!

Hey, look! It’s a full episode of Comic Timing! This time, Brent and Ian are joined by Gabe Perez, who now wanders around the podcasting world aimlessly after Strangers With Comics stopped coming out. In this episode, you’ll hear a bunch of conversation about the recent tumultuous changes DC Comics has been dealing with, including entire creative teams leaving books before they are even out. Plus, listen to our take on where Comixology might go next; will Comixology’s troubles with downtime lead to a shift in how companies release their digital books? Since this episode was recorded, Marvel reissued their Free 700 Issues offer, but the debate remains valid, as nobody could buy ANY digital books for nearly four full days while their server issues were being resolved.
We also do a little general conversation as usual, including Superior Spider-Man and Avenging Spider-Man, Ian’s Brooklyn Public Library woes, the second to last episode of The Walking Dead Season 3, and a bit on The Walking Dead comics now that Ian is 70 or so issues in. Oh, and Gabe’s pipes are now clean. I left that part in because it’s GOLD!
