We start off the first week of October in style with the first ever episode of the BumbleKast!
Didn’t get your question answered this episode? We’ve got quite the list going, but you can always throw your hat in the ring by asking in the comments, on Twitter with the hashtag #bumblekast, or on the forum!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Amazing Adventures #5
I grew up on the Turtles. Michelangelo was not only a party dude, but my grade school patron saint. I adore what the new cartoon is doing, and words cannot express how thrilled I am to get this chance to be a part of another of my childhood favorites. TMNT: Amazing Adventures #5 is due out this December!

BumbleKast + Con Schedule
First the good news! Coming October 5th is a brand new podcast starring me and my co-host Kyle “JCrb” Crouse of KNGI
If you’d like a chance at having your questions answered on the show, you have one of three avenues:
1) In the comments section on YouTube
2) On Twitter to @IanFlynnBKC or @KyleJCrb with #bumblekast
3) On the BumbleKing Forum
Secondly, a bit of bad news. Unfortunately, I won’t be attending New York Comic Con this year. It was a decision I was putting off, but I simply can’t afford to make the trip this year. I’m very sorry to those of you who wanted a chance to say “Hi,” or the fans I’ve gotten to know regularly over the years. Maybe 2016 will be kinder to my budget. Perhaps a certain podcast will become a lucrative endeavor? We’ll see!

August Updates
Not a major update, but more of an announcement of some spring cleaning. Summer cleaning? Site maintenance! There we go.
The entire Comics section has been overhauled in lieu of some exciting future announcements. I have no idea when I’ll get to make those announcements, but the site is now prepared for those updates when I’ve got the go ahead to say so.
In the meanwhile, I’m slowly picking away at updates to “Raiders of the Abyss.” These will be new incentives for patrons, and a robust preview of the next chapter.
