Comic Timing Syndication – Podcasting: One Year Later Panel

This is the Podcasting: One Year Later panel that was conducted on Thursday at the 2007 San Diego Comic-Con. On the panel were myself, John Mayo of Comic Book Page, John Towry of Comic Talk Cafe, Mr. Phil of Indie Spinner Rack, Josh from iFanboy, Scott Hinze of Fanboy Radio, and Jimmy Aquino of Comic News Insider. The panel was moderated by Vito Delsante, a freelance writer for DC Comics and manager of Jim Hanleys Universe in New York.

I boosted the volume of the recording as high as it could go without sounding too distorted, so I hope you are able to hear it all without trouble. The panel was plenty of fun, and I certainly want to thank my fellow panelists for the great time. Our wrap-up of San Diego Comic-Con will be released in another day or two, so keep your eyes and ears open.

Thanks for listening, thanks for downloading, and hope to talk to you folks soon!

Comic Timing Syndication – BK Bullets: Flash #13

Another syndicated episode! On this one, Brent Kossina and I do a BKs Bullets for Raging Bullets, all about Flash #13. We also touch on the Justice League of America #10 reveal a bit, and go a few other places too. This will air on Raging Bullets this upcoming Friday, on Episode 49 Part2b, so make sure to listen to it to hear Sean and Jim and their take on our comments. I will be in San Diego for Comic-Con this week, hence the syndicated episode. Next week, expect a wrap-up episode of SDCC, possibly with John Mayo and some interviews from the con floor. Plus, I included a blooper conversation at the end of the episode from the original recording session as an added bonus.

Comic Timing – Episode 42: Host Reversal

For the first time in a long time, Ian Levenstein is not the host of Comic Timing! No, I did not hand the reigns over to someone else, and no, I am not absent from this episode. We just decided to do something different. Brent Kossina hosts this episode, as Raph Soohoo and I discuss the MoCCA Festival in all its glory. Plus, we touch on the 2nd DC Teaser image for Countdown, go through a little bit of Flash #13 (slight spoilers), and we play Americas favorite game show: WHO THE HECK IS A SKRULL?!?!

This episode is barely edited as I had to pack for my glorious trip to Otakon, but when I listened to it we managed to sound pretty good, in my honest opinion. If you have any questions or comments, you can e-mail Comic Timing at comictiming@gmail.com, and please vote for us on Podcast Alley and Digg us at Digg.Com.

Also, please send in your audio comments on where you think the comic industry will be in 20 years! We will be more than happy to hear from you.

Thanks for listening, thanks for downloading, and we will see you folks soon.

Comic Timing – Episode 41

Episode 41 of Comic Timing hits! Well, hopefully it hits. If it flops, I will be a sad panda. Brent Kossina, Raph Soohoo, and myself review Marvel Comics latest foray into movie land, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. This episode is jam-packed with comments, both positive and negative, on the film, and what we would like to see in FF3. Give it a listen, and if you have not seen it yet, check out the movie in theaters!

After the credits and the typical bloopers are a bunch of very off-topic segments I felt had to be included. In them, we do a bit of discussion on Flash #13 and Justice League of America #10, so there will be spoilers there. And of course, we spoil the FF movies, because that makes sense!

As always, you can e-mail the show at comictiming@gmail.com, and please vote for us at Podcast Alley and Digg us on Digg.Com.

We will be back next weeek with our wrap up of the MoCCA Festival, plus some Marvel and DC News. Until then, thanks for listening, and thanks for downloading!

Comic Timing – Episode 40: 22 Pages #3

Our third 22 Pages review episode is here! Chris Chavez, otherwise known as Equinox on the CGS forums, returns for the first time in a while, along with Brent Kossina to discuss Nova #1 and Nova #2. The series has surprised all three of us so far, so listen in tot he episode to see what kind of surprise it left us with! Hint: we liked a lot of it.

There are spoilers ahead for both issues of Nova, so if you have not read them and would rather not be spoiled, come on back once you’ve read the issues to hear our take on them. As always, you can e-mail the show over at comictiming@gmail.com, and please vote for us on Podcast Alley and Digg us on Digg.Com.

We will be back next week with our in depth review of Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, with a whole bunch of bloopers at the end that have very little to do with the topic that might be more interesting than the episode itself. Good times!

Enjoy the show, and thanks as always for downloading!

Comic Timing Syndication: The Quarter Bin – Episode 5

This episode originally aired as The Quarter Bin – Episode 5. Here, Brandon Christopher, alias The Indigo Fire on the forums, has me on to discuss the world of Anime and manga. Make sure to check out other episode of The Quarter Bin over at his web site.

Enjoy the episode, and let us know what you think of the syndicated show!

Comic Timing – Episode 39: Part 2

Ready for the rest of 52? We have more than an hour and forty minutes of content here, so I certainly hope so! John Mayo and David D. are here to discuss the Everyman Project, the ending of 52, spin-offs we would and would not like to see, and we give our initial impressions on the first two issues of Countdown. It took a lot of time to get there, but we have covered 52 to the best of our ability, and I think it turned out fantastic. Big thanks to John and David for being a part of this, and I hope to get them back in the future for a Countdown episode or two.

Our next episode will feature the long awaited 22 Pages of Nova #1, with discussion of Nova #2 as well. Chris Chavez (Equinox), and Brent Kossina join me for that, so stay tuned for more great conversation!
