What up CHUper Villains!?! Shawn B. 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: 6/22/16 Spec Review”

That time has come once again. We all lived to see another comic book Wednesday. In the past week we all learned that people care about Batman proposing to Catwoman, even though we all know it’s not gonna happen. People are gobbling up the 3rd print, that will have a bazillion copies so Poyo’s advice is, buy one for the personal collection, not to flip. Everyone’s gonna be flipping this one and the market will be swamped is my prediction.
What else is new? Well, that’s why you come and read this article every week, (where Shawn B. will tell us all how wrong I was a year from now).
So let’s get on with the picks, I’ve been right a few times I think.. Continue reading “Poyo's Picks for June 21st, 2017”
