Warren Ellis and Jason Howard Team Up with Non-Stop Gritty Action on Cemetery Beach from Image Comics
Sometimes art alone can tell the story without a lot of dialogue. When I got an advance review of Cemetary Beach that hits store shelves September 12th, it was one of those books I had to check out immediately. This is one of those books that the art alone makes it a worthy book. Warren Ellis writing doesn’t hurt either.
Cold Spots – Sneak Peek Brief Review
Cullen Bunn is no doubt a master writer of horror and suspense comics. With his hit series Harrow County, he also brought us Regression while writing heavily for Marvel currently and in the past, his latest book is Cold Spots out from Image Comics with artist Mark Torres
Poyo’s Spec and Drek for August 15th, 2018
It’s that time again. We spec, we drek and we buy books we think are going to be great reads. Some books we pick up for just the artwork. Either way, for those that read this, we can all count on our wallets getting a little lighter come Wednesday.

Cheap Long Term Gamble Potential – Amazing Spider-Man #798
Most big sales from online retailers are usually a bunch of books nobody wants or already blew their money at retail cover prices. Every few months though Midtown will have a 75% off sale, likely to dump off inventory of recent and older back issues that is worthy in checking out for bargains.

Things I Like and Don’t Like for the Week of August 8th, 2018
Isn’t life grand? We have the luxury to worry about comic books, movies and other nonsense in the world that doesn’t directly impact our lives.
So here I am again, here to tell you what’s really grinding my gears this week, because you know, 1st world problems suck. But I try to tell you all the things I also like as well.

Likes and Don’t Likes for the Week of August 1st, 2018
I survived the road to Hana (yes, it’s apparently a thing) and didn’t get eaten by any sharks (but I did see lots of turtles on my snorkeling adventure). So there’s that in something to like this week. It was hard to leave but all good things must come to an end.

Poyo’s Spec and Drek for July 25th, 2018
As you all know, AgentPoyo is the alter ego of Anthony. That’s probably why you all like me more right? I kid, I kid. You can ask Mel or Blind Adam that I’m real cause they’ve met me if any of you had any doubts.
Things I Like and Don’t Like for the Week of July 25th, 2018
This has been a fabulous week so far. Not only am I writing this on vacation (Anthony told me I had to or he was going to slash my salary in half. What’s half of zero?) but all the news out from SDCC has been great news for the comic book industry.

Poyo’s Spec and Drek for July 18th, 2018
Welcome once again to this weeks picks and the dreaded avoid pick. Each Wednesday it’s Christmas for us comic book readers, flippers and collectors.
Things I Like and Don’t Like for the Week of July 18th, 2018
It’s that time again where I tell everyone who actually reads this on what is really grinding my gears this week, usually from the week prior as well. Anything and everything around the current week, I usually have something to grumble about or praise. I really do try to stay positive in my posts but that’s near impossible since we humans love dreading on the negative drama in life.

Poyo’s Spec and Drek for July 11th, 2018
Not a big spec week for me but there certainly could be a few surprises. A lot of indie books hit stands this week but for my pick I went with a book that saw some heat on it’s first issue.
MURDER FALCON: GET READY TO SHRED!
Coming soon from the creator of Extremity comes Murder Falcon. This looks like it might be fun. Read more of the official press release by clicking continue reading..
Skottie Young and Jorge Corona Team Up for an All-New Fantasy Adventure in MIDDLEWEST
This actually looks interesting. I really am digging the cover artwork and style of this new book coming out from Image this November. Read more for the full Image Press Release.
Farmhand #1 – A Review by Poyo
The Jenkins Family farm isn’t your typical farm. Yes, they grow plug and play human organs. Need an ear, they can grow that. Need a liver, they can grow that too. Jed Jenkins has mastered what is likely stem-cell research into a bio-engineering empire for human kind.
Things I Like and Don’t Like for the Week of July 11th, 2018
Welcome once again to the weekly ramblings. I try to focus on the news and events around the current week.
