Larry from Larryscomics.net stops by every week and fills us in on his pick of the week. Larry used to write the bible to speculation each week but retired from writing it this summer. We are happy to have him here giving us his pick for the week.
My pick of the week:
CRYPTOZOIC MAN #1 (OF 4)
DYNAMIC FORCES
(W) Walter Flanagan, Bryan Johnson (A/CA) Walter Flanagan
You watched Stan “The Man” Lee pitch it on Season II of AMC TV’s “Comic Book Men”; Now, from CBM cast members Walt Flanagan & Bryan Johnson comes “Cryptozoic Man”. Alan Ostman, a middle-aged husband/father, sees his life quickly unravel when his daughter goes missing on a camping trip in the Pacific Northwest…Bigfoot country. After Gray aliens abduct him from a roadside bar, he learns that the fate of the world is dependent on trapping the world’s most legendary cryptids…not to mention defeating a psychopath in a pig-shaped leather bondage mask, Alan knows he has his work cut out for him. The storyline revolving around this four issue series will be revisited in Comic Book Men Season III.
This book is going to do well with an excellent pitch during season 2 of the show and season 3 starting soon. Awesome pick, but im sure its gonna be a quick flip so be ready.
Is Image comics still doing that Retailer thing…. send back your number 1s if they dont sell?
Yes. I will write up the return policy tonight for you.

Ok, I put up the recent Image returnable policy you asked about earlier today.
I read 6 pages, and I don’t think I’ve ever yawned that big before. Pass.
My three year old sees something on tv and says that he wants that. Usually toys but has said the same thing about a Dyson wind tunnel vacuum. This book will have the same effect. People will want it because it is on tv. I sold through a big stack of the Baltimore variants within 24 hours there is a demand there.
Yeah, I don’t think ANYBODY is going to want this book until it’s on tv. Give it a couple weeks.
I’m buying it as a speculative play, not a read…
