Comic Timing Episode 246 – What is Modern Comic Book Art Anyway?

Leave a comment

Ian, Brent, Kris and Donovan return for the back half of their recent marathon recording. This time, Kris and Ian give their thoughts on the first nine issues (aka what was available on Marvel Unlimited at the time) of Gail Simone’s Uncanny X-Men run, based on varying degrees of response from different portions of the Interwebs. Does the run feel like the X-Men according to two longtime readers of the franchise? Will we someday remember the names of Calico, Deathdream, Ransom and Jitter outside of this run? The verdict is still out. We then deviate into a eye-opening conversation of what actually makes comic book art “modern” by today’s standards in the eyes of the “Youths,” and just how much color theory can make that determination. Finally, we conclude with some recent reads.

Time codes:

Kris and Ian talk Gail Simone’s Uncanny X-Men: 0:02:57

What makes comic art “modern?”: 0:25:00

Recent reads: 0:49:51

Comic Timing Episode 240 – Diamond’s Looking…Rough

Leave a comment

There’s a whole lot of serious stuff to discuss this episode, as Ian is joined by Kris and Jamal at start, then Raph and Donovan shortly thereafter. Topics include updates on Diamond’s bankruptcy and some decisions that have been made since, including Massive Publishing and Mad Cave joining up with Lunar Valiant halting their relaunch entirely until a new distribution solution emerges, Boom heading to Penguin Random House, and Two Morrows looking for alternatives. We also discuss what could have potentially been done to avoid this fate, if there’s a way out for Diamond, and what might come next for distribution.

Then, we go into the allegations against Neil Gaiman, DC’s response, Sandman ending after Season Two, and how we as fans can discuss things like this seriously while divorcing ourselves from the author’s works. Much less seriously, we talk Batman: Caped Crusader, our reactions to James Gunn’s Superman trailer and Marvel’s Fantastic Four: First Steps, Creature Commandos, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, some recent reads and more.

Time stamps:

Diamond woes: 00:02:49

Neil Gaiman (trigger warning): 00:49:38

It’s been a summer full of conventions and convention-adjacent things in New York. Kris and Ian dive into Kris’ journeys to Stationery Fest and Flame Con 2024, followed by their joint venture to Anime NYC. The duo discuss how Anime NYC’s move to August affected the con, all the panels they attended, the merger of Play NYC and Anime NYC, how the loudness that is hololive can impact the exhibitor hall, the inclusion of Critical Role as guests, and more.

Episode 215: X-Men ’97 Season 1 Review

Leave a comment

We’re back at it, baby! A new era of the Comic Timing begins here, as we try and get things a bit more regular here. We begin as Ian, Brent, Raph, Donovan, Brandon, Kris and Jamal convene to give an in-depth and spoiler-filled review of an animated series nearly thirty years in the making, X-Men ’97! The first season as a whole is discussed here, so if you haven’t watched the show, definitely give this a watch first before checking out this episode. There’s also plenty of random and related deviations along the way, discussion on X-Men comics related to the series, the animated series going in directions we never expected it to go, The Twelve, reminding us all just how complicated sixty years of X-Men continuity truly is, The Twelve, where we may be headed in Season Two, comparisons to the Invincible animated, reminders that Jubilee was once a vampire, The Twelve, and so much more.
