Comic Timing Extra Point – Episode 13: Consolidating Comics with F.O.R.C.E.

Leave a comment

FORCE

It’s been a while, but we’re back in style! Yes, that is a Chipmunks quote. Anyway, we’re up to lucky number 13 on the Comic Timing Extra Point. This episode, Ian runs solo for the first half, as he discusses selling off a bunch of his comic collection at Wild Pig Comics in Kenilworth, New Jersey two weeks back. Much thanks to Wild Pig’s owner, the talented Chris Eberle of Comic Geek Speak, for making that magic happen! There’s also some discussion of the transition from physical copies to going mostly digital, manga scanlations and why you should either wait for official release or hit the library over turning to the dark side of the Internet, and then a quick review of Southern Bastards Volume 1 by Jason Aaron and Jason Latour.

After that, we transition to the one and only interview Ian conducted at the 2015 edition of New York Comic Con, with the one and only Shawn Pryor. Shawn discusses what it’s like to return to New York City after a twenty year hiatus, what’s next in store for Cash & Carrie post-Kickstarter, and his newest miniseries coming out of Action Lab Entertainment in 2016, F.O.R.C.E. It ain’t Super Pro, yo!

Well, the New York Comic Con has come and gone once again. Time to talk about it in depth! Kris and Ian do just that, and a virtual bag of chips. Topics include swag obtained, cosplay seen, how the floor plan has changed over the years, some gripes that occurred over the weekend, how Javits North is the only place worth going to the bathroom, panels attended, and more! And more includes Ian’s experience at the Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited Plus panel, where he got to see a bunch of stuff you guys won’t see for a few more months! Hint: Peggy likes to dance, Ant-Man is tiny, and ULTRON HAS NO STRINGS.

It’s been a few weeks since Brent and Ian got to talk, so they rectify that in this two-man episode! Brent gives his opinion on the X-Men: Days of Future Past movie as well as Transformers: Age of Extinction, while Ian weighs in on Edge of Tomorrow. They also discuss some stuff about the upcoming Flash CW show and what we can expect from DC’s movie slate. And hey, actual comic talk! Batman Eternal, Futures End, New Avengers, Uncanny Avengers, Sex Criminals, SEX, and a few other books are on the docket. Finally, they touch on New York Comic Con’s quick sellout of tickets, and what that might mean for the future of comic book conventions. Give it a listen!
