    As we approach New York Comic Con, time to release the material recorded at Baltimore Comic Con!

    As you might have guessed, Comic Timing will be set up in Podcast Arena yet again at this year’s New York Comic Con! Here’s a basic idea of where we’ll be:

    So that’s the left-hand side of the main exhibitor hall near the back. There will be signage as well pointing out that you’re in Podcast Arena, and there will be a Comic Timing banner up over the booth as well so you can’t possibly miss us even if you try!

    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.
