Agent Poyo’s Picks of the Week for Delivery 9/30/15

Another small week for myself and last week I managed to only go $10 over my budget. I know what your thinking, why is Poyo on a budget? Well, I’ve just been buying too much that I intend to sell but then never sell cause I end up liking the comics too much. So I’m trying to cut back some, the piles of comics are getting hard to manage and quite frankly, my policy of reading everything I buy is getting even harder to manage.

Regardless of my own buying habits, I’ll still spread the love of what I think is a hit, a spec or maybe just a good read. So let’s get on with the picks shall we. Continue reading “Agent Poyo’s Picks of the Week for Delivery 9/30/15”

Big Things Come in Low Prints: August 2015

Hey, CHU, it’s DrunkWooky. Burning the midnight oil to see what Secret Wars titles are trying hard to stay secret.

If you’re a CHU reader, you probably have heard some contributors talk about low print runs. We care because, obviously, if something heats up and has a print run in the low thousands, that can mean huge value increases. Most of the time this is an advanced prediction. Notwithstanding retailer exclusives where tiny print runs are part of the advertised allure of collectability, we usually don’t know actual numbers until after the fact.

Well, hot from Comichron, here are August’s sales totals for all North American comic shops. Because most publishers print close to direct market orders, Diamond’s sales figures act as a good proxy and barometer for print run figures. Let’s see where your recent purchases stack in the scheme of all of last month’s releases.

Free Comic Book Wednesday: (on a Saturday) Scooby Doo Team Up #12

  

Scooby Doo Team Up #12 was one of the hottest books of the week. People grabbed up every copy they could find. The books are selling for $15-20 on eBay. Partially due to the appearance of the classic animated version of Harley Quinn but also coupled with the small print run. I have seen posts all over message boards and face book where people said they couldn’t grab a copy for their kids.  Continue reading “Free Comic Book Wednesday: (on a Saturday) Scooby Doo Team Up #12”
