Comic Timing – Episode 171: Conventions and American Comics for Manga Fans

Leave a comment

DSC05858

Episode 171 of Comic Timing is now out! This time, it’s time for a bit of a convention catch-up. Kris and Ian attended Special Edition: NYC at Pier 94 in Manhattan, and AnimeNEXT, which just had its final year in Somerset before moving to Atlantic City in 2016. They go over what worked, what didn’t, what needs improvement, whether or not New York Comic Con is a place to converse with your fellow fan, disappearing dollar bins, the ever-decreasing age of Anime convention attendees, and more.

The episode then transitions into the complete American Comics for Manga Fans panel that Ian and Kris conducted Friday night at AnimeNEXT. If you would like to match audio with slides, here’s a link to a PDF of the presentation. It was a lot of fun to do, and I hope you guys enjoy it too!

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!
