What Up CHU? Mel V. here With Your Variants of the Week for 6/20/18 Last week was a weird week for variants ..even though I had a full list of books, I missed some sweet gems like the Mattina Suicide Squad, as well as the Jenny Frison Wonder Woman, and The Weatherman from Image (which is doing great in the aftermarket and from what I hear was pretty hard to find in certain areas). The big winner was a book my buddy Matt Devoe had warned me about and I originally did not listen to, but I’m glad I did, The Marvel Rising #1 Lee variant is now a $100 book, but forget about the flipping side, it was actually a great read and had some FANTASTIC Interior art by Georges Duarte. Lets get into this weeks offerings. It’s a pretty light week. Most of these books should be easy to find in your travels tomorrow. Continue reading “Mel V.'s Variants of the Week for 6/20/18”

What up CHU Heads!?! Shawn B. back with another One Year Later round up, where we take a look at some of the comics that Anthony, Mel, and Poyo specced on one year ago. Their specs turn out to be quick flips, slow burns, straight up misses, straight up winners and on and on. Sometimes they spec with their hearts out of their passion for comics. Sometimes they spec based on data. And sometimes they spec based off the word on the street. Either way, all their specs appeal to a few or many collectors whether it is due to them having similar taste in writing or art, or just an opportunity for a collector to flip a book and make money to “support their habit”. So, this is our weekly chance to look back at how some of our buys from a year ago are doing today. Continue reading “One Year Later: Spec Review for 6/14/17”

Needless to say, our friends at More Great Art are releasing two exclusives for the upcoming comic series.

Issue #1 of Donny Cates Venom was pretty awesome. It showed off, on the last page, a flying symbiote that was referred to as God.
