While you wait for the NYCC wrap up, here, have some Episode 61! Damian Smith, alias Lord Shaper, and Brian, alias Lobo, of the Kryptographik Podcast join Brent and I to discuss Horror Comics. We go into their history with the genre, some recommendations for the new or old horror comic reader, the variety found within horror comics, and a whole lot more. We also touch on some recent news such as the Incredible Hulk trailer and discuss our anticipation for the since passed New York Comic Con.

Comic Timing – Episode 41

2 Comments

Episode 41 of Comic Timing hits! Well, hopefully it hits. If it flops, I will be a sad panda. Brent Kossina, Raph Soohoo, and myself review Marvel Comics latest foray into movie land, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. This episode is jam-packed with comments, both positive and negative, on the film, and what we would like to see in FF3. Give it a listen, and if you have not seen it yet, check out the movie in theaters!

After the credits and the typical bloopers are a bunch of very off-topic segments I felt had to be included. In them, we do a bit of discussion on Flash #13 and Justice League of America #10, so there will be spoilers there. And of course, we spoil the FF movies, because that makes sense!

As always, you can e-mail the show at comictiming@gmail.com, and please vote for us at Podcast Alley and Digg us on Digg.Com.

We will be back next weeek with our wrap up of the MoCCA Festival, plus some Marvel and DC News. Until then, thanks for listening, and thanks for downloading!

Comic Timing – Episode 31

It’s time for Hollywood! Brent Kossina of BKs Bullets, Raph Soohoo of Geeks Unite! and John Mayo of the Comic Book Page Podcast join in for a thorough discussion on whether or not we feel the comic book world is meat for Hollywood writers. Is the lateness worth it? Do they get the characters right? Do they simply take away jobs from the true comic book writers? We get into it all here.

If you have any comments you would like to send, please do so over at comictiming@gmail.com, and please vote for us over at Podcast Alley and Digg us over at Digg.Com if you get the chance.

Thanks for listening, thanks for downloading, and see you soon!
