Comic Timing Episode 282 – Diversity, Layoffs and Cocaine Hippos, Oh My!

Leave a comment

We’re back with a full Blue Team episode to start our Anniversary month off strong! Ian, Kris, Donovan, Brandon, Brent, Raph and Jamal start things off first with some words on the one and only Gerry Conway, creator of characters such as The Punisher, Jason Todd, Carol Danvers (as Ms. Marvel), Ben Reilly, Firestorm and so many others, who passed away at the age of 73. We then discuss Sam Kieth’s passing a bit and the gothic inspiration of Gotham, pivot to Marvel’s recent layoffs and what that may mean for the company, and for AI moving forward, the lack of black led ongoing series from DC (yes, there’s a tracker recording how long it’s been since that happened), bringing back up that old Dwayne McDuffie skateboard memo, recent reads including The Florida Hippopotamus Cocaine Massacre (yes, for real), Kevin Smith’s Bizarro: Year None, a Comiket documentary, Kris’ continued thoughts on Medalist, and so much more!

Interested in how the upcoming second season of Netflix’s hit series Daredevil is going to start out? Tonight was the NYC premiere of the first two episodes, and Ian was there to see them! Very slight spoilers are to be found here, so if you want to avoid knowing anything at all until the episodes hit the web next week, avoid this til then. But if you’re looking for initial impressions, general story points, and Punisher, you’ve come to the right place. And thanks, Marvel Unlimited Plus membership, for making this Extra Point possible! That extra $20 goes a long way.
