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.
Slow week spec wise. Most of the guy’s recommendations were for their PCs or just great art or reads. Continue reading “One Year Later: Spec Review for 7/27/16”

We’re all here for one thing and that’s comics. We have the super hero comics from DC and Marvel that really got this industry going but independent books, I think, really allows writers and artists to flex their talent to bring forth new content to keep us entertained.
So I’m going to spotlight what I think are up and coming great books (because it’s been a while since the last time I did an Indie outlook post), hopefully are great reads, and along with great stories and great artwork by our favorite artists. Some may write and draw for the big two. Some may be new upcoming unknowns to us who are trying to make it big. Either way, Poyo loves independent and small publisher books. So I hope this spreads the word on some potential books we can all enjoy, either by reading, admiring the artwork or simply flipping so we can spend that hard earned profit on more books. Continue reading “Poyo's Indie and Small Publisher Outlook – Summer 2017”
