Wednesday August 26, 2015 — Jeremy Bent (DC Comics)

For this show, we build a comic-book-store set and let host Jeremy Bent give us an insider’s tour. Jeremy highlighted the weirdest comic book storylines in a game of “Real or Not”, visited the Javits Center to ask questions about Comic Con to attendees of an interior design convention, and at the very end of the night: Jeremy’s pitched a brand new comic book to his industry guests. DID HE SUCCEED? His rent depended on it.

Segments included:

• A monologue on why comic books are already cool
• Animators sketching the show as it happens
• “Guess the Dialogue”, panels with dialogue missing
• Jeremy Straight — the evil version of Jeremy Bent, who represents the worst of the comic book world
• “Real or Not”, where Jeremy presents insane comic book concepts that all turn out to be real
• FIELD PIECE:  Jeremy visiting Comic Con — weeks before Comic Con gets there
• Jeremy pitches three new comic book ideas to Rickey Purdin and Charles Soule, two of the best in the comic book industry
