It makes a strange amount of sense that the episode after the 20th anniversary blowout is something much more laid back and simple. Ian happened to be down in the land of Brent, aka Florida, so the two of them settled up at a table to record live and in person! They discuss the trouble it took for Ian to get down there in the first place, then move into some Disney World talk, X-Men '97 Season Two and how Brent still hasn't read a lot of the material being used in it, Ian's thoughts on live-action Moana, anticipation of the third Dune movie, some further 20th anniversary thoughts, Wonder Man Emmy nods, Marvel's inability to hold an artist for more than a few issues, Brent's anticipation of his Absolute Crisis on Infinite Earths, some trucks and SUVs, SVU, and more!You can support future releases of Comic Timing and get in on the occasional early releases of the show at http://www.patreon.com/ComicTiming.
