Comic Timing – Episode 141

Leave a comment

comictimingitunes

Hey, look! It’s a full episode of Comic Timing! This time, Brent and Ian are joined by Gabe Perez, who now wanders around the podcasting world aimlessly after Strangers With Comics stopped coming out. In this episode, you’ll hear a bunch of conversation about the recent tumultuous changes DC Comics has been dealing with, including entire creative teams leaving books before they are even out. Plus, listen to our take on where Comixology might go next; will Comixology’s troubles with downtime lead to a shift in how companies release their digital books? Since this episode was recorded, Marvel reissued their Free 700 Issues offer, but the debate remains valid, as nobody could buy ANY digital books for nearly four full days while their server issues were being resolved.

We also do a little general conversation as usual, including Superior Spider-Man and Avenging Spider-Man, Ian’s Brooklyn Public Library woes, the second to last episode of The Walking Dead Season 3, and a bit on The Walking Dead comics now that Ian is 70 or so issues in. Oh, and Gabe’s pipes are now clean. I left that part in because it’s GOLD!

comictimingitunesEP_small

 

A very special episode of Comic Timing Extra Point is here! This is an interview that was conducted with the talented and well-versed artist Jim Calafiore at this year’s Comic Geek Speak Super Show. You may know Jim from such works as Exiles, Deadpool, and Black Panther over at Marvel, as well as Secret Six, Gotham Underground, Batman, and the 2008 Batgirl: Redemption Road miniseries at DC. Now, Jim is working on completing the Kickstarter funded Leaving Megalopolis with Gail Simone, as well as his currently running Kickstarter project Crooks & Nannies, which has 5 days left on its campaign. Crooks & Nannies recently met its initial funding goal, but it could still use your support. So get on that!

Further Super Show episodes are to come, including our traditional room recording and the rest of the interviews conducted throughout Super Show weekend.

    It’s time for Ian to kick off the Extra Point! These are in-between episodes where the premise is simple: Ian, a topic or two, and a microphone. This episode is all about both Anime and comic book conventions, and the panels that take place at them. Ian also goes into the latest issues of Ultimate Comics Spider-Man, from issue 16.1 until 19. Listen in, and do tell us what you think!

    Comic Timing – Episode 137: Baltimore Comic Con

    Leave a comment

    As we approach New York Comic Con, time to release the material recorded at Baltimore Comic Con! Ian chats with Shawn Pryor and Chad Cicconi of Action Lab Entertainment, Brian “Pants” Christman, Shane Kelly and Jamie D. of Comic Geek Speak, Comfort Love and Adam Withers of The Uniques and Rainbow in the Dark, Raph Soohoo of Raph Soohoo, and Jamal Igle of Molly Danger!

    As you might have guessed, Comic Timing will be set up in Podcast Arena yet again at this year’s New York Comic Con! Here’s a basic idea of where we’ll be:

    So that’s the left-hand side of the main exhibitor hall near the back. There will be signage as well pointing out that you’re in Podcast Arena, and there will be a Comic Timing banner up over the booth as well so you can’t possibly miss us even if you try!
