Comic Timing Episode 252 – Absolutely, DC

Now that the big three titles have finished their first arc, and the second wave of titles have begun being released, the team of Ian, Brent, Raph and Jamal are here to review the Absolute Universe at large! This includes Absolute Batman, Absolute Superman, Absolute Wonder Woman, Absolute Flash, Absolute Green Lantern and Absolute Martian Manhunter. Spoilers abound, as we go into what makes this new universe unique from the main DC Universe, the distinctly different styles of each books and what drugs may be needed to truly appreciate Absolute Martian Manhunter in full, how we’d like to see crossover handled moving forward, what books should launch in the Absolute Universe next, doing our best not to confuse Marcos Martin and Javier Rodriguez, and much more. We also finish off with some last minute conversation on how many times Raph is already planning on seeing the new Superman movie, and why Jamal is all-in on it (DC pun intended). And if you can successfully guess how many times we said Absolute this episode, Brent may have prizes for ya!

And here’s the video version:

Episode 218: Krakoa Post-Mortem

A new era of X-Men is upon us! And in order to get there, we must put the Krakoa era firmly to bed. Ian, Brent, Brandon and Raph are joined by a resident X-pert, Corwin Crowl of Earth’s Mightiest Podcast and its sister podcast EMX, to explain as much of this long-running storyline as we can, including what Krakoa is, how many different Krakoas there were, and what it eventually became. Did it conclude the way we wanted, and are we anticipating what’s to come? How many Beasts are there? Did Xavier ever take off the helmet, even to shower? Listen in and find out, bub. Spoilers ahoy, especially for X-Men #700, so be warned!
