Informed Comic Book Speculation and Pop Culture News
Welcome to this weeks spec and drek, 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.
I normally do these picks for Monday’s but hey, being early never hurts right? Plus I got my Nintendo Entertainment System LEGO set today and I might be spending some spare hours putting that sucker together.

This week we’ll cover the books released on 07/29/2020, which was last week. Can be books we anticipated getting hot, total surprise winners and perhaps books that we hyped and ended up as duds. Also could be a good list to use when out picking up this weeks pickups..

Seems Dark Night Death Metal Legends of the Dark Knights #1 is the talk of the town due to this new Robin King. Well, you probably seen or saw the one pane spoiler but we got more than that today for you folks. So sit back and enjoy some spoilers cause there’s more in Legends than Robin King.

So it seems Robin King is really taking off. When Snyder claimed he was going to be in Death Metal #2, he didn’t necessarily fib because creators don’t nitpick the minuscule details we comic book nerds pick away at.
So here’s some of the key books you should not overlook in the next 2 weeks as they’re already taking off on secondary pre-sales. Yes, even if you don’t buy, read or collect DC books, grab a copy cause it could be easy money down the beaten speculator path.. then you can use those profits to buy the books you want.

This is a great new series. A slow build up so I’m anticipating great things from this series.
This is a new number one coming out from Image Comics with Ales Kot writing about the Vietnam War. As a war story junkie, it’s on the check out list as I have yet to read the full issue, from the preview pages I’ve gathered here for you it’s promising.
Brubaker and Phillips are a dream team when it comes to storytelling. Brubaker is the master narrative writer while Phillips gritty dark and heavy outline approach does what he does best from pane to pane.

I don’t know about the rest of you all but as I was browsing FOC books for this Monday, I ran across this Jaws Movie Poster Statue that is pretty damn awesome if you ask me of the iconic movie poster I think a huge majority of the world would be able to identify when seen.

The print run is going to be massive. There’s likely going to be a ton of store variants. So go with Cover A if you can’t decide or buy the cover you like most. But looking forward to this new series since I really enjoyed God Country (as I’m still severely behind in catching up on Redneck).

Yes, it’s Chu, the acronym for this site and yes, coincidentally the guy who runs this site is named Tony. But here’s your sneak peek preview I promised of the next chapter spun directly out of the beloved Chew from the mind of John Layman.

I thought it’d be fun to do an article on ? Peach Momoko’s ? rarer and or harder to find covers which ultimately will be the winners long term. Now, my primary focus was normal released titles.
Since her rising popularity is increasing print runs on books, this is making them much easier to obtain, causing the value to not rise as fast. You know, that whole supply vs demand…
Welcome to this weeks spec and drek. This week looks a little more promising than the depressing last week for new comics.
Captain Marvel #18 is in stores at the end of this month and Captain Marvel takes the title and mantle as the new Accuser in the big Empyre event (happens in Empyre #2, in which some are trying to claim the 2nd print is the one to grab as it was likely under ordered and FOC has already passed).
But what most aren’t talking about is who she discovers when she is tasked on her first mission as the Accuser to go and you know, Accuse.

For all you military and war history buffs out there, I’m completely onboard with the graphic novels that depict war, past, present and future. Particularly the stories based on true stories.
Here’s the Fall 2020 lineup coming out of Dead Reckoning which even has one that’s a movie streaming on Netflix currently, which looks like a great addition to my Netflix queue.
