Aloha CHUniverse and welcome back to Weekend Specs. I’m back and filled with comic enthusiasm after a long break from collecting comics. In the meantime my husband was collecting Jordan’s he doesn’t even wear, taking all of our comic money. Now that we have more shoe boxes than comic boxes I can get back to collecting comics. This week we cover the Swamp Thing news, Captain Marvel villain, and a few other soon to be relevant characters.
The #1 thing that I find crazy when coming back from breaks is how much everything goes up in price. It’s hard out there to stretch your dollars these days on comic 1st appearances. No longer can you get 30 1st appearances and combined shipping from Mile High for $20, all those books have became $20 bills themselves. Today’s list has one thing in common they all still have attractive buy ins. Good to be back let’s jump in!
