Comic Timing – Episode 90

Happy 3 years anniversary, Comic Timing! To celebrate, Brent (sleepy, yet not asleep) and Ian (somewhat hyper and smarmy) are joined by Brad Wilson from Comic Tube, and returning guest Chad Burdette (Unknown_Fanboy), as we discuss death in comic books. You know, that thing that happens every few years to your beloved characters, and gets reversed a few years, months, or days later? Yup, that’s the one. We discuss whether or not it should be permanent, what deaths are acceptable and what aren’t, who is untouchable and all that great stuff, so listen in! And listen to the end bloopers so you can be tired of those snakes on that Monday to Friday plane too.

We are back, and bigger than a bread box! Or something like that. This week we are joined once again by Shawn Pryor of PKD Media, as well as returning guest Al Sparrow of Thugs, and newcomer Eric Peterson, to discuss independent comics! We run the gambit, discussing everything from why we buy to why we don’t, and everywhere in between. We also discuss the changing distribution climate, and where the industry might be going over the next few years. It’s fun discussion not to be missed!
