Comic Timing – Episode 36: Part 1

Leave a comment

Independent Comics! There are plenty of them, with plenty of different genres out there. Here on Episode 36, I will try my best to get the creator perspective on the current state of independent comics, while hopefully spreading the word on their work. In Episode 36 Part 1, I am joined by Dave Wachter of the fantastic indie book, Scar Tissue. Dave is quite the guy, and has plenty to say, so I do hope you enjoy it all and check out his book!

In Episode 36 Parts 2 and 3, I will be joined by Steve Bryant, who finally managed to record an interview! Yup, the curse has been broken. You know I kid, Steve. Anyway, that will come out over the course of the next week or so. Good times, good stuff for all! Or something like that.

Hey guys. Just a quick update on where the show is headed the next few episodes. I have been sick the past few days, so I still have not finished editing Episode 36 Part 1. Episode 36 will be three parts. Part 1 is my interview and discussion with Scar Tissue creator, Steve Wachter. Parts 2 and 3 are with Steve Bryant. I will try to get Part 1 out as soon as possible, once I feel up to editing again. So once more, there is plenty of content to come, and thanks for your patience!

Episode 32 of Comic Timing is here! On this episode, Brent Kossina, John Mayo, Raph Soohoo, and JM Campbell from Comics Radar join me for a discussion on Wizard Magazine. From the glory days of the 90s to the current floundering state of the magazine, we get into it all. Plus, plenty of comedy, forum comments, and random transitions, as always.

Once again, Comic Timing will be at New York Comic Con this weekend, so we hope to see people there! Matt Sommer, Raph Soohoo, Sean and Jim, and other panelists will be in attendance for the full Comic Timing experience. Should be great times!

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.

Okay, so you’re probably wondering where the poop the next episode is by now. Well, relax there people, it is coming! We had some major snags last week which led to an episode being lost, so we are rerecording our “Hollywood Writers In Comics” episode tonight. Should hopefully be out once editing is all done, so hang tight, and more Comic Timing will be along before you know it. Thanks for your patience everybody!
