Comic Timing Episode 253 – June 2025 Previews

Leave a comment

As June comes to a close, so does the end of an era. The June 2025 catalog marks the final physical copy of Diamond’s Previews catalog. While the format of the media may change, the format of this episode will not, as we’ll be pivoting to individual publisher catalogs and mostly Lunar for the foreseeable feature, checking in occasionally with Diamond as well. As such, Ian, Murd and Raph tackle the Image, Dark Horse, Boom, DC Connect, Marvel Previews, IDW, Diamond and Lunar catalogs here, with books mainly set for August 2025 release. Highlights include a Rick Remender and Daniel Acuña’s anthropomorphic war story Escape, a new collection of Giffen and DeMatteis’ Hero Squared at Boom, W. Maxwell Prince, Martín Morazzo and Chris O’Halloran from Ice Cream Man bring their odd horror sensibilities to DC with Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum, Kyle Higgins goes full manga with his Elseworlds Immortal Legend Batman, G. Willow Wilson takes on Black Cat at Marvel, Jason Aaron returns to Duckburg with Scrooge – Earth’s Mightiest Duck, Christopher Priest launches his own reboot of Red Sonja with Sonja: Reborn, a comic book continuation of Star Trek: Voyager at IDW, a new superhero universe at Aspen, and tons more. NOTE: Items mentioned in the Diamond Previews are not guaranteed to come out as advertised; you can reference books also listed in Lunar’s catalog, and others (like most Dynamite books) will see the light of day in the coming months.

Comic Timing Episode 239 – Review Corner: Radiant Black, Volume 1

1 Comment

A long-awaited episode from the before-times finally makes its way from deep space and into your ear holes! And with it, a return to the long-dormant Review Corner format of Comic Timing episodes. The foursome of Ian, Chris Eberle, Adam Murdough and Shane Kelly get their hands on Kyle Higgins and Marcelo Costa’s epic introduction to the Massive-verse, Radiant Black! This first volume covers the first six issues of the book, as Nathan moves back home just in time to accidentally come across a Radiant, granting him ever-growing gravity abilities. With the assistance of his best friend Marshall, he tries to figure this all out, while also figuring himself out. And if you think that’s the whole of the story, there’s a lot more where that came from! For instance, who is Radiant Red? And what villains are trying to track these new heroes (?) down and make their power their own? So much to uncover, so much to learn, and we are ready to dive right in!
