What up CHUllectors!?! Shawn B. the One Year Later Investigator, back with another One Year Later round up, where we take a look at some of the comics that Anthony, Mel, and Poyo specced on one year ago. Their specs turn out to be quick flips, slow burns, straight up misses, straight up winners and on and on. Sometimes they spec with their hearts out of their passion for comics. Sometimes they spec based on data. And sometimes they spec based off the word on the street. Either way, all their specs appeal to a few or many collectors whether it is due to them having similar taste in writing or art, or just an opportunity for a collector to flip a book and make money to “support their habit”. So, this is our weekly chance to look back at how some of our buys from a year ago are doing today. Continue reading “One Year Later: Spec Review for 6/7/17”

I love indy comic books. I love first appearances of small press characters. One that has alluded me for a while is SDCC Comics #2, the first full comic book appearance of Hellboy.

Greetings my Comics Heating Up and Awesomesauce families. First off thank you. Thank you for reading this each and every week. Before we make some money with some comics. Allow me to make a few points. First of all Supersons #16, Champions #19-20, Batman Beyond #16-20, Captain America #701, and Thor Gates of Valhalla #1 were my reads of the week.
