Crossover #3 we were promised something huge. So here’s your sneak peek preview of the issue without it even diving into any spoilers (you’ll have to come back Tuesday night for those and if you’re a trusted member of the forums, you likely already seen some spoilers we’ve spilled).
Welcome to this weeks spec and drek, the first one for 2021. This is where we pick the winners each week we think will be spec worthy, a great read or just cool looking art on the cover. I also dive into the pesky drek, the book you should probably avoid if you can or perhaps not invest so heavily into.
It’s the end of what most would consider a really crappy year except most would say, it ended up being a great year for comics, at least on the speculation and flipping side of the aisle.
So, Happy New Year!
So let’s review all the hot books released in 2020 with some possible mentions of some of the other crazy back bin issues that saw some crazy love with people stuck at home with extra cash burning holes in their pockets (at least for those that weren’t furloughed, lost their jobs or got sick).
Before we get started though, I just want to send my heartfelt condolences to anyone who has lost a loved one this past year due to COVID-19 or knows someone who was impacted either physically or financially from this horrible pandemic that we are still facing daily. Stay strong and stay safe going into 2021. Wear a mask, even if it’s not mandated or required, it’s a small gesture to show respect to other fellow humans until all this virus gets under control while vaccines get rolled out.

This is an article I wrote way back when news broke with a teaser image they sent out. Seems like this is still in the works (news of the pilot wrapping up) so I’m going to revive my original article that highlights all the key books coming out of Y: The Last Man which if done right, could see some of it’s books (outside from the first issue which as a ton of the main character firsts) pop in value as the characters within are introduced.
Y: The Last Man from Vertigo Comics and the great writer Brian K. Vaughn is coming to life on our screens from FX networks.
This series ran for 60 issues and has a huge cast of characters within the story line.

Donny Cates promises something huge in issues #3 (there is a McFarlane variant so some are speculating Spawn shows up) and issue #6. If you’re on the Crossover bandwagon since the debut of the first issue, you’ll certainly be ready to pick up Crossover #2.
The team behind LIMBO, DAN WATTERS (Lucifer, COFFIN BOUND) and CASPAR WIJNGAARD (Star Wars, Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt), launch a brand-new ONGOING SERIES.
In the summer of 1994, a haunted house walks across California. Inside is Ami, lead singer of a high school punk band – who’s been missing for weeks. How did she get there, and what do these ghosts want? Expect three-chord songs and big bloody action that’s Power Rangers meets The Shining (yes, really).
