Comic Timing – Episode 20A

1 Comment

It has been a while since we have had to do a two parter, so now is as good a time as any! Comic Timing Episode 20 focuses upon the world of 52, and the characters surrounding the title. For this episode, I am joined by David D. from the Comic Geek Speak Forums, and return guest John Mayo of The Mayo Report and his brand new column on Comic Book Resources! There are spoilers for 52 in this episode, so if you are waiting for the trades to come out, this one may not be for you. We discuss such topics as who may be behind the Supernova mask, Lex Luthor and his Infinity Inc team, the life and deceptions of Booster Gold, and so on. It makes for great discussion, and I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of it.

As always, you can send your questions and comments to comictiming@gmail.com, and if you have the time, please vote for Comic Timing on Podcast Alley.

Episode 20B should be released no later than Tuesday night, and will focus mainly upon The Black Adam Family and Rip Hunter and his chalkboards. Thanks again to David D. and John Mayo for coming on the show, and hope you come on back for Part B!

Comic Timing – Episode 16

Leave a comment

Episode 16 of Comic Timing is now up and running. This week, Matt S., Lord Shaper himself Damian Smith, and myself get together to discuss violence in comics. Are comic books still for kids, or is that a thing of the past? And if so, how are we going to get the next generation involved in the world of comic books? We go from Vertigo to Wildstorm to the MAX line to books that probably deserved this distinction, but instead ended up regular titles. If parents get involved in their children and their reading, will it stop them from reading things they should not? All this and a lot more are discussed in this episode, and Damian also premieres his brand new monthly segment, Rogues Gallery. This month he takes on Deathstroke, one of DC Comics most popular villians.

As always, you can e-mail the show over at comictiming@gmail.com, and don’t forget to vote for us on Podcast Alley.

Until next week, thanks for listening, and catch you all next time.

Comic Timing – Episode 10B

Leave a comment

Here we are, it’s the second part of our 10th episode mega show! Sean Whelan of Raging Bullets, and Vince Bonavoglia of the Comic Geek Speak Forums join David and I as we go in depth on the ending of Infinite Crisis. Did it succeed in its attempt to be one of the greatest stories in the history of DC Comics? Are there things we would have liked to turn out differently? Should characters have lived who died, and died who lived? How obvious was it that _______ had lost his powers in issue 7? And most importantly…did it deliver on all that it promised to deliver in issue 1 by the time issue 7 came around? A warning that SPOILERS for Infinite Crisis are ahead, so if you’re one of the 2 people who have not read it yet (I keed, I keed), you may want to skip this one.

Vince has his take, which is significantly different than what Sean felt about things, while David and I take our sides as well. This was was plenty of fun, and altogether, Episode 10 is in my opinion our best episode yet. I also would like you folks to comment on the sound quality if you can, as I made some adjustments on which filters I use post production so that we all sounds close to the same level. As always, you can e-mail Comic Timing over at comictiming@gmail.com, and don’t forget to vote over at Podcast Alley.
