Comic Timing – Episode 176: A Raging Review of 2015

ant-man-1435327553

Just like that, 2015 has shrunk in between the atoms, never to be seen again! In its place stands 2016, which also happens to be the 10th year of Comic Timing. And what better way to start off this milestone year than with two of Brent and Ian’s mos regular guests: Sean Whelan and Jim Segulin of the Raging Bullets podcast! The crew of four go over Secret Wars and Convergence, some of their favorite comics and comic related media of this past year, and some things that are older than that but were discovered in 2015. There’s also a decent amount of Star Wars talk to be had, including everyone’s (except for Jim who hasn’t seen it yet) overall impressions of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. Plus, random segues into talking about meatloaf the food, Meatloaf the singer, and Fuller House. And, shock of shocks, we mention Fant4stic. It’s a grand old time, I tells ya! WHATISH!

    Comic Timing – Episode 26: 22 Pages # 2

    This week, Comic Timing presents the second installment of our 22 Pages Reviews, which also happens to be Part One of our Confidential Crossover with Raging Bullets! Sean and Jim join Matt and I to discuss Superman Confidential #1, cover to cover. We discuss the large amount of advertisements found inside the book, and whether or not it effected our reading experience negatively, differences in the Tim Sale style in comparison to his previous Superman work, and whether or not Kryptonite can talk.. Also, Sean stumbles onto an interesting find on Wikipedia, Jim talks about blind squirrels, and Matt waxes poetic about 3D glasses. Oh, and we talk about the book too. Good times!

    Part Two of the Confidential Crossover will take on Raging Bullets, and will cover Batman Confidential #1. When we set a date, we will let all you folks know out there when to look for the episode. If you would like to contact Sean and Jim, you can do so over at ragingbullets@gmail.com, and you can e-mail Comic Timing at comictiming@gmail.com. And if you have the time, please vote for Raging Bullets and Comic Timing over at Podcast Alley.

    Comic Timing will be back next week with a discussion on parallel universes in comic books. Until then, thanks for listening, and I hope everybody enjoys the crossover!
