Rogues Gallery – Episode 4: Bullseye

The Rogues Gallery returns! On this episode, Damian Smith of Kryptographik, alias Lord Shaper, and myself discuss one of Marvel Comics most interested and complicated villains: Bullseye! Who is the man behind the mask? What is his origin? How did he gain such an obsession with Daredevil? And most of all, how many times is he going to severely injure himself before he calls it quits for good? I mean, sheesh!

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 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!
