Our last episode was a Previews episode, and so is this one! How about them apples? Murd, Raph and Ian are back, as they delve into all the picks from the various catalogs that are mainly set for June 2026 release. Highlights include Supergirl and Lobo teaming up for the Summer of Supergirl Special AND in Lobo, Chip Zdarsky gets an Avengers event with Avengers Armageddon, Boom! reboots the Power Rangers with the help of Marguerite Bennett, multiple comic book iterations of The Odyssey (but only one has Godzilla), that slacker Dan Mora gets an art showcase book, Dynamite goes alternate universe with their Altered States line, a Wicked comic adaptation, Dark Horse gets its own shared universe with Jonathan Hickman, Mike del Mundo and Nick Spencer at the helm so we can totally take credit for that, and more!

Comic Timing Episode 279 – Sonic The Hedgehog x Godzilla with Nick Marino

1 Comment

Once upon a time, this week’s guest was the host of the Audioshocker Podcast, and split a table with Ian at Podcast Arena at New York Comic Con. These days, Nick Marino has followed his comic book dream, and is writing comics. Ian and Raph join Nick to discuss his previous works, including Godzilla Rivals: Biollante Vs. Destoroyah, as well as his upcoming IP crossover of epic proportions, Sonic the Hedgehog X Godzilla! We also discuss how the industry has changed for creators and retailers over the last few years, what life is like listing through Penguin Random House and Lunar versus the Diamond days, the removal of founder Mike Richardson from Dark Horse, whether you pronounce the X as an X or if it’s a symbol for Cross, some further digital comics conversation, and so much more.

Do go ahead and pre-order Sonic the Hedgehog X Godzilla if you haven’t already done so, and you can find all things Nick Marino over at his website, https://www.nickmarino.net/. You can also follow him on Instagram, Bluesky and Threads, and you can read his articles over at Den of Geek!
