    Comic Timing – Episode 42: Host Reversal

    Leave a comment

    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.
