It’s new comic book day! The best damn day every week. The day of the week we drop everything else that’s important to go pick up what we think is going to be a great read or a great flip so we can buy more things to read or flip. It’s the never ending cycle of life for the comic book enthusiast comic flipper.

It’s tax day here in America, actually by the time this posts, it’s almost too late so I hope everyone paid their taxes on time or the taxeth man a cometh for you!

APHRODITE V—A New Entry in the APHRODITE Mythos
Long ago (2013, seems like forever ago) when I was getting back into comics, I picked up Aphrodite IX from Image/Top Cow and thoroughly enjoyed it being a science fiction geek that I am.
This was one of the series that got me digging more into independent books.

It’s once again the time for New Comic Book day! This week seems to be a bit more exciting than a few of the previous weeks. We know the strong start of 2018 couldn’t last into all weeks and months, but it sure has been fun so far.

Poyo's Spec and Drek for March 28th, 2018
Welcome once again to Poyo’s picks of the week. I also go as far as to tell people to avoid some book or books as well. I’m cool like that and likely hated by writers or artists who worked hard for someone like me to tell others to not buy their junk.

Poyo's Spec and Drek for March 7th, 2018
This year has been exciting so far. Lots of specs (and lots of drek), lots of heat and surprisingly Marvel has been the big winners this year so far, even with a few surprise hits (Prelude book.. who would have thought a prelude book would heat up).

Poyo's Spec and Drek for Feb. 28th, 2018
Life gets in the way of all the things I’d rather be doing. I’m just now getting around to my picks less than 2 hours when we publish them usually. So it’s going to be short and sweet this week as I don’t even have an Indie Pick but rather two small publisher picks instead.
Continue reading “Poyo's Spec and Drek for Feb. 28th, 2018”
Poyo's Spec and Drek for Feb. 21, 2017

Oblivion Song #1 Will Have No Additional Printings Scheduled, Will Have Substantial Overprint Instead
So hot off the press is a release from Image. Looks like the new Kirkman and de Felici book Oblivion Song will be over printed to avoid second prints and beyond. Talk about killing the spec value of a book.

Poyo's Spec and Drek for January 31, 2018
The fifth Wednesday of the month, the lame duck Wednesday we should call it. The day most publishers put out crap or nothing since they try to schedule their monthly releases based on the normal 4 weeks per month.
