What up CHU!?! 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 1/11/17”

What Up CHU? Mel V here. Everything is finally back to order now that the Holidays are over and in New York we are recovering from a Deep Freeze (14 consecutive days of freezing temps or something wild like that ..sheesh).

Lets get into what’s on the radar Continue reading “Mel V.'s Variant Picks for January 10th, 2018”

What up CHU Believers!?!? Happy New Year to everyone! I hope you all had a great holiday season! Shawn B., the One Year Later Investigator, here, sorry I have been MIA for so long. Had a lengthy vacation and then had some minor health issues for the past month. Wasn’t fun. I even missed out on some recent key issues that came out. But I am back and look forward to starting out 2018 strong with the spec reviews.
I am starting to get more data on historical values of some of the specced releases. So I have added a new Quick Flip Winner section that you will start seeing from time to time. I have also started re-watching Anthony and Terry Hoknes’ spec review videos from a year ago and will be adding some of their specs from them.
I am psyched to be back and hope that everyone has an incredible year of speccing and collecting. That being said, let’s get on with the review. Continue reading “One Year Later: Spec Review for 1/4/17”

Thanos #13 has been doing well on the secondary market. Written by Donny Cates, the issue introduces the first appearance of the Cosmic Ghost Rider. The Cosmic Ghost Rider works for Thanos, is a tad insane, and rides on a mash-up rocket motor cycle. The character is part of the reason that fans are drawn to the series. But what if this is not the characters first appearance?
