Poyo’s Spec & Picks for March 9th, 2022

Welcome to this weeks spec. This is where we pick the winners each week we (or shall I say myself) think will be spec worthy, a great read or just cool looking art on the cover.



Lots of Marvel picks this week..

Marvel Picks

Black Panther #3 Second Printing is already getting listed at $10 and selling for $10. We’ll likely see this dip come Wednesday as I think it’s going to be easier to obtain than most realize but for me, it’s a grab a few and stash for the long term gamble to see if this Tosin character sticks around.

The first printing is still doing quite well on the secondary market.

Captain Carter #1 (of 5) is a title I’m looking forward to. Probably not for any potential spec or heat but for a good read is the hope.

Not a whole lot else grabbing my attention coming out of DC for this week.



Indie and Small Publisher Picks

Little Monsters #1 (Cover A – Nguyen) (TFAW left off the S in Monsters if you try searching) is a new Lemire book. Sign me up, I still need to find time to read this with my advanced review copy.

Little Monster #1 (Cover B – Lemire)
Little Monster #1 (Cover C – Mahnke)

Spider-Man McFarlane Fans will be seeking out Spawn #327 Spider-Man Homage Variant. I don’t anticipate much heat for this one as most retailers got a heads up on it I think. His hands look weird to me and something just doesn’t sit right overall..  this is not a great homage if you ask me. But buy what you like right?

Don’t go heavy on this one but We Live Age of Palladions #1 Black (Cover A – Miranda) is a must for any fans of the hit series We Live.

We Live Age of Palladions #1 White (Cover A – Miranda)
We Live Age of Palladions #1 Black and #1 White Bundle (Saowee TFAW Exclusive Variant)
