Just like DC Comics’ worst kept spoiler in a while, we’re back! On today’s episode, Brent and Ian are joined by the Raph himself, Raphael Soohoo to discuss Captain America: Civil War, Bendis’ Civil War II, Free Comic Book Day and what comics were grabbed at said Free Comic Book Day, DC Comics: Rebirth #1, DC Rebirth in general, the whole Captain America Hydra kerfuffle, Comixology Unlimited, and more! More includes how comics have changed in the past ten years since the show started, by the way. That was fun!

Ian also meant to talk about X-Men Apocalypse but didn’t, but there’s two minutes or so of talk in the after show, and there might be an Extra Point soon talking more about it. So do stay tuned for more on that and other topics, loyal listeners.

Comic Timing – Episode 160: Ethnicity and Race In Comics

Leave a comment

The spiritual sequel to our Religion in Comics episode is finally here! Brent and Ian are joined by Brandon Christopher (for technically the third episode in a row if you count 159 Part A and B as two separate episodes) and Julian Lytle to discuss ethnicity and race in comics. How have comics evolved in their portrayal of people of color over the years? What still needs to be done to improve things further? How about creators of color getting their foot in the door of a predominantly white industry? Who are some of our favorite ethnically diverse creators? Is it a good idea to take originally white characters and reintroduce them as black, Asian, or otherwise, or is legacy the way to go? We go into all of this and more here. Listen in, and enjoy. This one is an instant favorite of the crew.

HOLY CRAP!!! Has it really been a month since the last Comic Timing came out? That, sirs and madames, is a travesty that must be righted…with a new episode! This time, Adam Withers and Comfort Love of The Uniques join Darrel of Dafixer’s Hideout and No Apologies, and Chris Johnson formerly of Amazing Spider-Cast; Along with Ian and Brent, the discussion is “Everything Old Is New Again.” As DC and Marvel return previous heroes to their former mantles, is this a step backward or forward? Will younger audiences be able to relate to Steve Rogers, Barry Allen and Hal Jordan, the way other related to Bucky Barnes, Wally West and Kyle Rayner? Tune in to find out our thoughts!
