Leave a comment

It’s hard to believe that we’ve reached the comic book year of 2025, but low and behold, here we are. Ian, Raph and Murd go through Image Catalog Issue 17, DC Connect issue 54, Marvel Previews Vol 6 issue 37, and Diamond Previews issue 434, with books mainly set for January 2025 release. Books discussed include a return to Oz with the Patchwork Girl of Oz at Image, Criminal is back in print, Ultimate Wolverine is a bit red around the collar for Marvel, Jeremy Adam’s gets wet and wild with Aquaman, two separate horror books set on moving trains, the return of our lost Lenore, and most of all, witness our collective surprise as a Disney Variant at Marvel actually corresponds with the comic book it’s honoring FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!

Comic Timing Episode 230 – Kaiju Talk with Shawn Pryor

Leave a comment

It’s been a very long time, but this episode, Comic Timing welcomes back one of its favorite guests. Ian, Brandon and Raph are joined by the one, the only Shawn Pryor, as they discuss his upcoming book out of Epic Ink, Kaiju Unleashed: An Illustrated Guide to the World of Strange Beasts. The group go into everything from Godzilla to King Kong and back again, including the Rankin Bass kaiju collaborations between America and Japan (with an amazing deviation to their Return of the King animated film), the attempts to make the Hannah-Barbera Godzilla animated series as close to the Japanese as possible while dealing with rights issues and standards and practices, economic turmoil leading to a downturn in movies, the differences in the Showa, Heisei, Millennium and Reiwa era, failed Marvel kaiju collaborations, the uselessness of Minya, how comics influenced kaiju (and the reverse), when Dr. Pepper made Godzilla’s world taste better, the insanity that are Toho’s Frankenstein kaiju movies, and so much more. Earmuffs as usual, this is a Shawn Pryor episode, so we’re real and raw, like we should be.

Ian, Brandon and Raph then bring the episode home with some Absolute Batman talk, retro gaming through old Superman games, trading in old books, DVDs and games to Book Off, revisiting Final Crisis, whether a Playstation 5 is worth the purchase, general Agatha All Along thoughts (spoiler-free), and more!

Episode 218: Krakoa Post-Mortem

Leave a comment

A new era of X-Men is upon us! And in order to get there, we must put the Krakoa era firmly to bed. Ian, Brent, Brandon and Raph are joined by a resident X-pert, Corwin Crowl of Earth’s Mightiest Podcast and its sister podcast EMX, to explain as much of this long-running storyline as we can, including what Krakoa is, how many different Krakoas there were, and what it eventually became. Did it conclude the way we wanted, and are we anticipating what’s to come? How many Beasts are there? Did Xavier ever take off the helmet, even to shower? Listen in and find out, bub. Spoilers ahoy, especially for X-Men #700, so be warned!
