This week on Comic Industry Insiders LIVE, ATOM! and his very tired co-host Brian talk about Manage Comics 3.0, how Comic Previews plays into everything, and why being "POS Agnostic" is so important to him.

Join us as we dive DEEP into Manage Comics 3.0, take another look at Comic Previews, and explain why Subscription Rankings might be the thing everyone is sleeping on!

All this PLUS your usual sales charts, news of the week, and a spectacular giveaway from Manage Comics itself!!!
