Content warning: Sexual assault It's finally happened! After 10 years and more than 250 episodes, we finally get around to discussing the elephant (or, rather, the aardvark) in the room: Dave Sim's 300-issue magnum opus, Cerebus! And to help us grapple with the weight of one of the longest-running, most creative and most controversial comics in the history of the medium, we're joined by longtime friend of the show Bryan Stratton of Marvel by the Month! Self-published by Sim's Aardvark-Vanaheim, Cerebus paved the way for many other independent comics creators to self-publish their work. And its ambitious, experimental approach to comics storytelling expanded the artistic possibilities of the medium, as it grew from a parody of swords-and-sorcery comics into a complex, sprawling saga that would take on politics, religion, and other weighty issues. But while there's a lot to recommend Cerebus, there's also a lot to give potential new readers pause—namely, Sim's contentious, divisive views on women, which ultimately begin to exert greater and greater influence over the series itself. As the Will Eisner Comic Awards prepare to induct Sim (among other creators, including Gerry Conway and Rick Veitch) into its Hall of Fame at this year's San Diego Comic-Con, we take the opportunity to dive into this massive work, touching on topics including: What exactly IS Cerebus? Our personal histories with Cerebus The detailed background artwork of Gerhard The "Walking on the Moon" arc and the Cerebus creation myth Would we recommend that you read Cerebus? We also share suggestions for other long-running, impactful series (in comics and otherwise) you might enjoy. For further reading on the subject of Cerebus, we recommend: Tom Ewing's great and insightful blog Aard Labour Curt's 2004 Slate article on the endings of Cerebus and Bone The Onion A.V. Club's notorious 2004 interview with Dave Sim Join us in two weeks as we return to our regular format with a look at Sex Criminals Vol. 1: One Weird Trick, by Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky!

¡Bienvenidos a un nuevo episodio de Nerd News en La Cueva del Nerd!
Pluribus. It's not just a Latin word on American money. It's also a surprise hit show on AppleTV. The award nominations and wins are still coming. It's not a zombie series, exactly. It's not an alien series, exactly. It's not exactly Tough Jobs - it's more “everybody can do every job” with a splash of Undercover Boss. It's got tragedy and comedy, but it's not The Bear, exactly. It has complicated and interesting characters, and only 3 of them out of around 7 billion are cranky. It has beautiful southwestern US backdrops, plus a precarious walk through the Darien Gap. But is it worth 6.75 hours of one's life? The Guys give it 5 out of 6 thumbs up. Listen to see which one of them is the outlier. In the Geeks of the Week segment, Jay is behind (again) but he's pretty sure this bit of Superman news was disguised to him by hypnosis. According to Robbie, the Blair Witch Project is still wandering in the woods. Art (the resident obituary collector) laments the passing of Gerry Conway, a giant in the comics world. All three Guys are back this week, Art has a new retirement uniform, and all is well with the world…except the parts that aren't.
Gold Team unite! Murd, Chris, Shane and Ian gather 'round the collective microphone for our latest Review Corner book review.

Join in on the nostalgia, the world building, homages out the wazoo, and many a Murdoughian moment to be had! And we're glad you stopped on by to visit Astro City; come back any time, y'hear?We also begin this episode with some thoughts on Gerry Conway, as Gold Team gives time to respect the master after his passing.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.

We are getting caught up after last week's Book Club discussion, and we are already working on next month's selection of Wonder Woman Historia from DC Comics. If you want to join us for that discussion, send us a note. A day after we recorded episode 618, we learned of the passing of writer Gerry Conway. Conway was part of the wave of new creators joining comics in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He quickly made his mark, taking over writing chores on Amazing Spider-Man from Stan Lee. Along the way, he helped co-create characters like the Punisher, Firestorm, Power Girl, Ms. Marvel, and many others. Is anyone getting mixed messages from Marvel Comics? A while back, a message went out from senior editorial that they were scaling back events, yet all of last week's Comic Giveaway Day books were intros to upcoming events in Avengers, X-Men, Spider-Man and Hulk. Jerrry finished season 2 of Daredevil and John is keeping up with The Boys. We have our weekly Pick 3 choices, sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics. Plus, Cullen has a new trivia question, and John has a look at last week's top ten books. We would love to hear your comments on the show. Let us know what you've been reading or watching this week. Contact us on our website, Facebook, Instagram, or by email. We want to hear from you! As always, we are the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! and we hope you enjoy the show. The Worst. Comic. Podcast.

On this episode, we go back to 2009 for a great conversation with Gerry Conway, a writer whose career has taken some fascinating turns across comics and television. We talk about why Gerry stepped away from a successful run in TV, writing shows like Law & Order and Diagnosis: Murder, to return to DC Comics for a surprising and, frankly, underappreciated project, The Last Days of Animal Man.That decision ends up sparking what you could call a full third act comeback in comics, leading him back into the Marvel universe and onto Spider-Man once again.Along the way, we dig into some of Gerry's most iconic work, from the still controversial and era defining “death of Gwen Stacy” in The Amazing Spider-Man to the massive, history making 1976 Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man treasury edition.

We then discuss Sam Kieth's passing a bit and the gothic inspiration of Gotham, pivot to Marvel's recent layoffs and what that may mean for the company, and for AI moving forward, the lack of black led ongoing series from DC (yes, there's a tracker recording how long it's been since that happened), bringing back up that old Dwayne McDuffie skateboard memo, recent reads including The Florida Hippopotamus Cocaine Massacre (yes, for real), Kevin Smith's Bizarro: Year None, a Comiket documentary, Kris' continued thoughts on Medalist, and so much more!Time stamps:RIP Gerry Conway: 0:04:35RIP Sam Kieth: 0:27:52Layoffs at Marvel: 0:37:1520th Anniversary of Comic Timing Plans: 1:03:09Diversity (or Lack Thereof) in Comics: 1:09:02Recent reads: 1:52:42You can support future releases of Comic Timing and get in on the occasional early releases of the show at http://www.patreon.com/ComicTiming.

We discuss Gerry's contributions at both Marvel and DC, his lasting legacy in comparison to other creators in the field, and why he will be sorely missed. Along the way, we go on tangents like "how many times did John see Snyder's Justice League in theaters?" and more!

In a conversation that was originally streamed for the Geekscape network, Christian commemorate the passing of legendary comic book artist Gerry Conway by chatting with Geekscape founder Jonathan London and John Nolan from the Raging Rhino podcast. They discussed his work on the page for both Marvel and DC plus his work as a screenwriter. They also listen to a few clips from when Christian interviewed Gerry back in February. Like any spirited conversation at your favorite comic book shop, the conversation veered in a number of directions, including DC's film universes. The episode concludes by sharing the entirety of that February 2026 interview Christian had with Gerry Conway.
In a rare quick turnaround from livestream to audio episode (less than 24 hours), the Comic Book Bears boys are back with their latest! Steve, Caleb and Billy Z don the symbolic black armbands sadly on this episode as we eulogize legendary comic writer Gerry Conway who lost his battle with cancer this week. We talk about his career and one of his earliest comics (Daredevil #77 from 1971) and then discuss very recent issues of The Fury of Firestorm and Justice League Unlimited - two franchises Gerry had long associations with. We then delve into some other recent books including The Thing on the Doorstep (Image), No Saints Nor Poets (Tightrope) and once again harken back to 1960s Marvel with the facsimile edition of Silver Surfer #1. All this plus Steve's recent experience attending the Screams By Night: Halfway to Halloween convention in South Dakota, our recent Geek Gets and our Woofs of the Week (along with some unplanned South Park and Cure imitations along the way!)

From 2013. A great talk spanning the scope of Gerry's Career.
Note: This episode was recorded before the death of Gerry Conway, who wrote two of the stories we talk about. The Punisher is gearing up for a busy summer on the big and small screens (with Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Punisher: One Last Kill, respectively). So what better time to dive into some key early stories charting the evolution of everyone's favorite gun-toting vigilante? We start with a look at the Punisher's pop-culture inspirations, including the Executioner and Dirty Harry, before discussing his first appearance in 1974's Amazing Spider-Man #129, where he joins forces with (wait, this can't be right, can it?) the Jackal to take down your friendly neighborhood wall-crawler! Then it's on to Marvel Preview #2 from that same year, in which we learn the tragic backstory behind his one-man war on crime! Finally, we jump ahead a few years to Daredevil #183-184 and a gritty, street-level take on the character that's closer to the version we're all familiar with. Is our (anti)hero just a poor judge of character? What type of story suits him best? And can our surly sentinel of the streets survive a frontal assault from that Whack Attack known as … The Comics Canon? In This Episode: What happened to Curt on our April 1 episode? The Spotmaker Punisher War Journal #19 Punisher: Circle of Blood (1986) Daredevil Born Again Season 2 Questions about the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot Join us in two weeks as we delve into the acclaimed three-part series Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons, by Kelly Sue DeConnick, Phil Jiminez, Gene Ha and Nicola Scott!
