Comic Timing – Episode 79

One away from Episode 80, here comes a Comic Timing focusing on a topic previously discussed on the show! Chris Marshall of Collected Comics Library and the TwoMorrow’s Tune-In Podcast joins Brent and Ian, along with Shawn Pryor of PKD Media as we discuss the current state of Trade Paperbacks. Is the industry leaning more towards this medium than it did back in 2006 when David Price, Braxton and Ian discussed the issue on Episode 6? Is Ian thinking about going all-trades? Find out this episode! And we discuss Shawn’s disgust towards real estate schemes.

Comic Timing – Episode 78

We are back with more content! Well, by we I mean Ian, as he has a chat with Chris Johnson of The Amazing Spider-Cast about his time spent at The Baltimore Comic Con. We also chat about life in general, podcasting, moving, and a bunch of other topics. It is a very informal episode, but it gives us a buffer so we can get back into the swing of recording shows this week!
