COMIC NEWS INSIDER Episode 300 LIVE!!!

COMIC NEWS INSIDER (CNI), is recording our 300th episode LIVE on Tuesday, October 19th! Special guests, prizes, drinks and fun galore! I know it seems last minute. New York Comic Con kept us really busy & 300 sort of snuck up on us. But it's here! If you've been to our live recordings for 100 & 200, then you know what fun will be had! It's weird and uncomfortable in your pants fun, but fun nonetheless. Seriously, it's fun. We are having it at Latitude for the 3rd time and they are being gracious to us again by giving us the 3rd floor to ourselves. All we have to do is spend $500 total. So come and grab a bite & drink and keep drinking. We're funnier when you're drunk.

What: Live recording of COMIC NEWS INSIDER Episode 300
When: Tuesday, October 19th.
Time: 6pm-9pm (We'll start recording around 7pm).
Where: Latitude Bar & Grill (783 8th Ave b/w 47th & 48th). 3rd Floor.

Guests: Michael Emerson ("Ben Linus" on LOST), Kevin Maguire (artist on Justice League of America), Kate Beaton (Hark, A Vagrant webcomic), and Veronica Taylor (voice of "Ash" on Pokemon animated).

New Logo by Ben Templesmith!

Good buddy, Ben Templesmith, graciously donated his time to design the new logo for my podcast, Comic News Insider. We debuted it this weekend at New York Comic Con! Ben sent it to Jimmy in black/white and said to add color and play around with it as we saw fit. Joe (with Jimmy's input) did a great job of putting together the banner and postcards. Thanks again, Ben. You rock!
