Comic Timing Podcast show

Summary: <a href="http://www.speakgeekspeak.com/comictiming/comictiming/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/lexluthor.jpg"></a><br> As the title implies, Comic Timing goes political this episode, partially as some catharsis after the events of the past few weeks, and also as a way to try and explain and further understand the political climate, and how it effects the comic book industry. Brandon Christopher of <a href="http://popcultureclash.tumblr.com" target="_blank">Pop Culture Clash</a>, Donovan Moragn Grant of <a href="http://questionsnoanswers.wordpress.com" target="_blank">Questions, We Don’t Have Answers</a>, Brent Kossina and Ian Levenstein discuss the decision made by <a href="http://www.newsarama.com/31984-humberto-ramos-refuses-to-visit-states-that-voted-for-trump.html" target="_blank">Humberto Ramos</a> and <a href="http://www.newsarama.com/32016-george-perez-joins-in-boycott-of-red-states-conventions.html" target="_blank">George Perez</a> to refuse attending conventions in Red States after the President Elect takes office, as well as comic shops <a href="http://www.bleedingcool.com/2016/11/17/retailers-admit-to-not-ordering-any-motor-crush-1-because-it-has-a-black-female-lead/" target="_blank">refusing to stock</a> Motor Crush issue 1 because it has a black female lead. We also discuss tangential political topics that are not entirely comic related, but are still relevant to the overall conversation.<br> This episode may not be for everyone, but I really do feel like there is some excellent conversation within. No punches were pulled, but everyone involved did their best to be respectful while speaking their minds.
