Greetings to my Comics Heating Up and Awesomesauce families. I would like to say thank you for reading this each and every week.  As always thank you for the friendship, encouragement, advice, and support. I love being a part of this and it is the greatest blessing in my life.
I finished the school for the blind. Now it is time to launch awesomesauce comics as a kick a$$ retail establishment. But, one day at a time for that. Details to come. Dark Night Metal#3 & Detective Comics #966 were the reads of the week. The Falcon #1 was decent. Arrow Season Six is off to a great start. Riverdale Season Two was #awesomesauce.  That Last Jedi trailer was the bomb.
Now lets make some money with some comics because you can’t teach that. Continue reading “Blind Adam's Hidden Gems Vol. 64”

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 10/12/16”
