Greetings my Comics Heating Up family. I hope everyone is hanging in there. To be honest this pandemic has taken its toll on me a bit. I have been dealing with sleep problems and a slight depression. I am hoping this ends soon. I hope you are well, safe, healthy, and enjoying comic books and other entertainment. Remember to work out and not be like me and eat snacks all day… yum snacks… Before we make money with comics, I wanted to point out a few small things. First the DC digital comics are #awesomesauce. Superman Man of Tomorrow #1, Batman the Adventure Continues, and now Wonder Woman Agent of Peace, just great stuff. I am also digging classic underground comics, I will do an entire hidden gems underground style in the near future. Don’t pass on Marvel Age back issues, they have great art, amazing covers and can go for decent money. The Tick was amazing, loved season one. Family Guy needs to retire, used to love it, current season not so much. Thanks for being in my life during this difficult time, love you guys! Now lets make some money on some comics cause you can’t teach
