Jimmy gives you a quickie Thought Bubble Festival preview! He recorded this super quick episode while on a break from work in a parking garage. So no normal segment music and possible random background sounds. We record where we need to so we can bring you the comic goodness! He's currently in the UK and madly prepping for the convention this weekend that is held annually in the north of the UK in Harrogate. He gives the lowdown on it all and what to expect, planned interviews (including those outside of the show), advice to save your sanity and more! If you see him there do say a hearty hello!

We hope you enjoyed all of the massive NYCC coverage! Jimmy is exhausted from it all so our news anchor Emily Edwards decided to take over this week. She interviewed Dr. Miriam Eve Mora, the co-creator of JewCE: The Jewish Comics Experience. JewCE is a comics and pop culture convention celebrating diverse Jewish themes, characters, and narratives in sequential art. Dr. Mora talks with Emily about how it started, what to expect, some big name guests, is it for everyone (YES!) and more. In the intro, Jimmy mentions a few more of the amazing guests attending. JewCE will be held November 11th & 12th right here in NYC. Thanks to Dr. Mora for taking the time and to our very own Emily for doing such a fantastic job in her first official CNI interview!

Jimmy went to New York Comic Con (NYCC) last week and got about 12 interviews and 1 press room. Producer Joe even got an interview in! In this episode, you'll hear from Greg Pak but it WASN'T at NYCC! Greg and Jimmy decided to chat post-NYCC away from the madness. They met in Central Park here in NYC and had a lovely chat about Greg's prolific work on comics like DARTH VADER, MECH CADETS, WHO BELONGS? DEADLY HANDS OF KUNG-FU, CITY BOY, etc. They also talked about the Netflix animated series MECH CADETS based on his comics, the Amadeus Cho action figure and his photography. Always a delightful catch-up. Post interview, Greg surprised Jimmy with an impromptu photo shoot! Look for Jimmy to be walking the runways of fashion week very soon. Enjoy!

Jimmy went to New York Comic Con (NYCC) last week and got about 12 interviews and 1 press room. Producer Joe even got an interview in! In this episode, you'll hear from the "Britain's Queen of gothic folk horror" Sarah Gordon. Our mutual pal Kieron Gillen bestowed that moniker upon Sarah and he is so right. Jimmy had met (well re-met) Sarah last year in the UK at the Thought Bubble festival but only recently read her work. (That she had kindly gifted to him. BAD JIMMY!). VICIOUS CREATURES is one of the most incredible and beautiful graphic novels he has read in a long time. They discuss the book, inspirations, expressly detailed art style, use of color, when she realized she loved horror, making grotesque things beautiful, Mr. Blobby, Adam Ant and so much more. A lengthy, fun, informative and delightful conversation!

Jimmy went to New York Comic Con (NYCC) last week and got about 12 interviews and 1 press room. Producer Joe even got an interview in! In this episode, Jimmy covered the press room for Audible's new audio original series SLAYERS: A BUFFYVERSE STORY. Many of the original BTVS cast are back to do the voices. In this room were Amber Benson, Christopher Golden, Charisma Carpenter, Emma Caulfield Ford, James Marsters, James Charles Leary, Juliet Landau and newcomer Laya DeLeon Hayes. Everyone was so happy to return to their roles and play in the familiar world. Super fun time!

BAD SOUND WARNING! Attention: No idea why or how but there was a lot of interference during the press room. We're so upset as it was such a joyful time. Producer Joe was going to scrap it but we thought we should at least let the loyal fans hear what they can and decide if they want to bear with the technical problems. Massive apologies. We're just as disappointed. But we hope you can enjoy.
