Comic News Insider 396 Update
Hey everyone! So, I had some issues uploading the recent episode 396 of my podcast COMIC NEWS INSIDER. It featured a lengthy and fun interview with my old pal Michael Emerson. Apparently, the last 20 minutes got cut out. Massive apologies, of course. But got Producer Joe on it trying to fix it as I’m away in Boston covering Boston Comic Con.  I’ll drop a note later when it’s up...

You Got Stated in my Comic News Insider!
Most of you know that I do a weekly podcast (since April 2005) called COMIC NEWS INSIDER. We cover the world of comic books, animations, sci-fi, TV/film and pop culture.

I’ve been helping to pimp my friend Brea Grant’s movie, Best Friends Forever. And yet I haven’t mentioned Stacey Storey who is producing it. She is one of Brea’s best pals and I met her through Brea a couple of years back. We don’t talk much (as we are on separate coasts) but there is a mutual admiration and we got mad love for one another. I have since the moment I...

The Walking Dead For Kids!
This was part of an April Fool’s prank at Emerald City Comicon by Chris Giarrusso (G-Man). Just awesome. I’ve loved Chris’s work for years now and am happy to hear he’s doing the special covers for Image Comics 20th anniversary. Back in 2005, he did something special for my little podcast, COMIC NEWS INSIDER as well. :)

Big Changes
I am an open book for the most part. You can hear me weekly on my podcast, Comic News Insider, follow me on various social media like Twitter, Facebook, Google +, etc. However, I still keep some things close to the vest. For example, my love life. However, I feel it’s finally time to mention.  I’ve been dating a woman off and on for quite a few years now. I don’t mention her...
