Comic Timing – Episode 33: New York Comic Con Wrap Up

The first wrap-up podcast is here! This show was recorded live at New York Comic Con 2007, with a whole bunch of guests. Raph in person! Sean and Jim in person! Freddie E Williams II, artist of Robin! Molly Crabapple, co-creator of Dr. Sketchys Rainy Day Coloring Book! Fat Momma and Feedback from Who Wants To Be a Superhero! Dave Wachter of Scar Tissue, and Uncle Sal himself! Plenty of fun recording the interviews, and a great time to be had in general. Later this week, I will be recording a full con wrapup and review with Sean, Freddie, and Raph, so there is more con content to come.

Comic Timing – Episode 32

Episode 32 of Comic Timing is here! On this episode, Brent Kossina, John Mayo, Raph Soohoo, and JM Campbell from Comics Radar join me for a discussion on Wizard Magazine. From the glory days of the 90s to the current floundering state of the magazine, we get into it all. Plus, plenty of comedy, forum comments, and random transitions, as always.

Once again, Comic Timing will be at New York Comic Con this weekend, so we hope to see people there! Matt Sommer, Raph Soohoo, Sean and Jim, and other panelists will be in attendance for the full Comic Timing experience. Should be great times!

Comic Timing – Episode 31

It’s time for Hollywood! Brent Kossina of BKs Bullets, Raph Soohoo of Geeks Unite! and John Mayo of the Comic Book Page Podcast join in for a thorough discussion on whether or not we feel the comic book world is meat for Hollywood writers. Is the lateness worth it? Do they get the characters right? Do they simply take away jobs from the true comic book writers? We get into it all here.

Update for the non forum goers:

Okay, so you’re probably wondering where the poop the next episode is by now. Well, relax there people, it is coming! We had some major snags last week which led to an episode being lost, so we are rerecording our “Hollywood Writers In Comics” episode tonight. Should hopefully be out once editing is all done, so hang tight, and more Comic Timing will be along before you know it. Thanks for your patience everybody!

    Comic Timing – Episode 29

    Episode 29 is finally here! It took two false starts, an encroachment and a holding penalty to get this one done, but we did it, even it took three days to record. This week, Brent Kossina, and Raph Soohoo, alias Wraithmaker on the forums, author of the Bulleteer Madness Column for Raging Bullets, stop on by to discuss DC Comics in the year 2006. Did they do a better job than Marvel? What titles left us going booyah, and which titles left us going dear God why must this exist?

    Comic Timing – Episode 28

    Episode 28 of Comic Timing has finally hit the stands! Figuratively of course, since this is a podcast, not a comic book. John Mayo, Brent Kossina, and myself go into a Year End Wrap Up of Marvel Comics this week, as we discuss our favorite titles, some that did not quite hit the spot, and some that we are looking to improve a bit more as 2007 rolls around. This episode is almost entirely edit free as a holiday treat, so you get to hear Comic Timing in its raw form for once. Hopefully it will indeed be a treat, and if not, let me know and I will not do it again, deal?

We touch on What If, Elseworlds, DC and their Parallel Universes, The Ultimate Universe, Heroes Reborn, and plenty more where that came from.
