Poyo’s Trade and Hardcover Picks of the Week

We shouldn’t just collect or flip books, we should also read them. A good story can make your purchase well worth the money spent if you ask me. After all, we buy books to read for entertainment right? Even if you can’t flip them, reading is just as rewarding.

We tend to focus on mostly the floppy copies each week and kind of ignore the trades and hardcovers that come out week after week.


Wyrd TPB

When the U.S. government runs up against situations too strange for them to handle alone they only have one asset to call in–Pitor Wyrd.

Whatever mission needs doing, whatever mystery needs solving, the roguishly handsome and surprisingly tough Wyrd acts as a one-man black ops team. Collects issues #1-#4 of the miniseries.

Great read and story. If you missed out on the floppies, here’s the next best thing.

Phantom Twin Hardcover GN
Phantom Twin (Trade) GN

A young woman is haunted by the ghost of her conjoined twin, in this sweetly spooky graphic novel set in a turn-of-the-century sideshow. Isabel spent her life following Jane’s lead. Literally-of the two conjoined twins, Jane was always the stronger one, both physically and emotionally.

But when Jane dies on the operating table during a risky attempt to separate the twins, Isabel is left alone. Or is she? Soon, Jane returns, attached to Isabel from shoulder to hip just like she used to be. Except Isabel is the only person who can see Jane-a ghost, a phantom limb, a phantom twin.

Against a vivid backdrop of the hardscrabble life of circus sideshow freaks at the turn of the century, Isabel’s story unfolds as an unforgettable coming-of-age tale from picture book star Lisa Brown.

Love a good ghost story and in original graphic novel format. This one has the creep and possibly sweet factor all in one story.



Dead Eyes TPB Vol 01

Meet Martin Dobbs. He’s a hot-tempered, foul-mouthed former mercenary and gun-for-hire who’s just been forced out of retirement-with both funny and violent results.

DEAD EYES is equal parts Unforgiven, The Equalizer, and Robin Hood, from two of comics’ most irreverent creators: writer GERRY DUGGAN (Deadpool) and artist JOHN McCREA (Hitman)! Collects DEAD EYES #1-4.

It’s a cheap way to pick up the first 4 issues to read in trade format.
