Comic Timing Episode 293 – Flame Con and Anime NYC 2026 Convention Reviews

Leave a comment

Ian and Kris are done with a whirlwind two weekends straight of conventions, and they have a lot to say about it! First up, this year’s Flame Con, held at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Times Square, a new venue for the event. They discuss how the new space compares to previous locations, the show floor, innovative cosplay, free beauty products, the feel of the con compared to other comic conventions, and of course, panels attended. This includes a full slate of panels run by The Graymalkin Lane Podcast, including their Mutant Fashion Review, and a sit-down with Gregory Wright and Terry Kavanagh on queer characters at Marvel in the 80s and 90s.

They then discuss Anime NYC 2026 in full, including this year’s Netflix showcase of upcoming anime series, GKIDS distributing Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust to theaters in the US, the growing disdain towards Crunchyroll and their diminishing presence at the con, how to attempt to read subtitles in a crowded room, managing industry presence at the end of a con season, awkward placement of 18+ exhibitors, where the heck Artist Alley should be in Javits, Kris’ return to running panels, attending an anime Masquerade for the first time in years, the ongoing saga of where to pee in Javits, and so much more!

Comic Timing Episode 214: Sirens, Cornsweat and Trains, Oh My!

Leave a comment

Ian and Brent got to record in person in Florida over Christmas break, and here is the glorious result. Topics include Brent’s thoughts on Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, combined conversation on The Marvels, Blue Beetle, the burial of Comixology, trains passing by, David Corensweat and James Gunn’s Superman Legacy to come, and so much more. Earmuffs as always with these, as there is the occasional off-color comment or language that comes with two friends communing in a park for a podcast. Like you do. Enjoy, and Happy 2024 all!
