    Comic Timing Episode 165 – Part 2: Spider-Man Movie News, 2014 Wrap-Up Conclusion and More

    Leave a comment

    SpiderManMoney_

    Double the pleasure, double the fun! Not only do you get two episodes in a matter of days, but this episode itself is two episodes in one! First, Kris and Ian talk all about the Spider-Man movie franchise news, including his appearance in the Marvel Movie Universe, plus Kevin Feige’s involvement in future Sony Spider-Man movies. We also discuss the Miles Morales vs. Peter Parker movie debate, the Fantastic Four trailer and how it will more than likely not be for us, Michael Fassbender potentially playing Boba Fett, Ian finally watching Blade for the first time, Peggy Carter: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. (both Kris’ praise, and Brent’s dislike from a pre-show conversation), The Walking Dead (SPOILERS) and more!

    We then segue into the rest of our Best and Worst of 2014, questions 8-15, featuring Ian, Brent, Brandon, Chad and Yanni. Expect things to be just as grumpy, exhausted and insane as they were in Part 1. It’s a mess, but in a good way. Enjoy!

    NowThatsMarvel

    Episode 165 is all about wrapping up the year 2014! And we do it in style, with an Ornery Brent, a somewhat calm Ian, a quiet Chad Burdette, a shot drinking Michael Yanni, and a Toys R’ Us Brandon Christopher. Which is the standard Brandon Christopher. We go over the first half of our yearly comic book questionnaire here; the rest will be covered in part 2, which should be out in about a week’s time. Keep and eye out!

    Comic Book movies are coming! In full force! Put yourself in cryostasis now. Brandon, Brent and Ian go movie by movie in chronological order for DC and Marvel, with a little bit of Sony (if it happens) and FOX (please fail Fantastic Four) thrown in for good measure. We’re a little more sour on the DC stuff, but try to stay as even-handed as possible. What do we expect from movies like Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, Justice League, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Captain Marvel and Avengers: Infinity War? Listen in to find out! We also touch on Constantine, The Flash, Arrow, Gotham and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the last few minutes of the show. And thanks to Comics Alliance for the movie infographic.

    Comic Timing – Episode 160: Ethnicity and Race In Comics

    Leave a comment

    apokolipsnew11_

    The spiritual sequel to our Religion in Comics episode is finally here! Brent and Ian are joined by Brandon Christopher (for technically the third episode in a row if you count 159 Part A and B as two separate episodes) and Julian Lytle to discuss ethnicity and race in comics. How have comics evolved in their portrayal of people of color over the years? What still needs to be done to improve things further? How about creators of color getting their foot in the door of a predominantly white industry? Who are some of our favorite ethnically diverse creators? Is it a good idea to take originally white characters and reintroduce them as black, Asian, or otherwise, or is legacy the way to go? We go into all of this and more here. Listen in, and enjoy. This one is an instant favorite of the crew.

    The key art for this episode will only make sense to those of you who listen to the episode all the way through the credits, just so ya know. The show starts off with Ian solo talking Snowpiercer, both the movie and the comic, and Captain America, and then transitions into Ian, Brent, Brandon and Raph discussing some Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. casting news, further thoughts on The Flash pilot, and then there is a lengthy discussion on digital comics and Marvel’s Digital Comics Unlimited platform and how ti might effect numbers on titles that are available in the marketplace. Check it all out!

    Time to get high on a feeling with us! Brent and Ian are joined by Brandon Christopher and Raph Soohoo (for the last few minutes) as we review Guardians of the Galaxy! We go over what worked, what didn’t, what almost worked, what blew our minds, and what might be coming soon for the sequel. Part 2 will be out next week, and features conversation on Marvel and DC TV shows, Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited, Comixology and more.

    It’s time for some spoilerific thoughts and opinions on Captain America: the Winter Soldier and the last two episodes (and the season so far) of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Brent and Ian are joined by Rick Gordon of The Pop Cult Online Power Hour and Brandon Christopher as we dissect the movie as a whole, discuss what we liked ad the few things that could have been better, character building moments, what should happen in future movies and more. Plus, some Arrow, King of the Nerds, some stuff on Marvel’s Netflix series and more via conversation meandering. And stay tuned til the end, as both Brandon and I have comments on recent geek controversies including Janette Asselin’s comments on the Teen Titans #1 cover and the not so positive response by the dregs of society, the removal of women’s bathrooms at PAX East, and the overuse and subsequent loss of meaning of words like “fridging” and “problematic”. Thumbs up, soldier!
