Comic Timing – Episode 141

Leave a comment

comictimingitunes

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!

Comic Timing – Episode 121: The 2011 Supershow Recording

Leave a comment

Part Two of the Supershow recording is out!!! This is the one we always look forward to here. Saturday night at the con, Ian rustles up whoever is in the mood to talk and we go completely off the cuff, drink some beers and have a damn good time for two hours or so. This year was no exception. This also means that the views expressed in this episode, negative or positive, are not necessarily the views expressed by any of the individuals involved outside of this here recording. This time we are joined by Julian Lytle of Ants, Martheus Wade of Jetta: Tales of the Toshigawa, Shawn Pryor of the PKD Media Blackbox and Action Lab, Jon Carroll of the Carroll Chronicles, Dean Stahl of Headlocks and Headaches, Bill English of Sounded Good on Paper, Raph Soohoo of Geeks Unite! and Chad Burdette AKA Unknown Fanboy. We talk everything from the show itself to Third and Spruce, vanilla sundaes, Power Rangers, wrestling and Captain Planet Swamp Thing. Totally worth every minute, people.

Comic Timing – Episode 108

Leave a comment

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!
