What’s up CHU, Mel the Movie guy here. So I was reading the Pop Article and I’m going to give suggestions on how to flip Pops. Flipping pops is different than flipping comics, as most comics get hot the 1st week of release then fizzle out, but with pops once they get hot they pretty much keep that value. When I started buying pops last year I was just buying the characters I knew and wanted to see them on my mantel.

Mel The Movie Guy visited and reviewed Mike Carbo’s Big Apple Con 2015
The Big Apple Comic Con is a New York City comic book convention, the longest-running comic book/science fiction/fantasy/horror/pop culture convention in New York City. It was started by retailer Michael “Mike Carbo” Carbonaro in March 1996 in the basement of the Church of St. Paul the Apostle. During its heyday from 2001–2008, the Big Apple Comic Con often featured multiple shows per year, with a large three-day “national” convention held in November, usually held at the Penn Plaza Pavilion. The show was owned by Wizard Entertainment from 2009 – 2013, but is now back in the hands of Carbonaro.

I have said I am off Millar, but this cover makes me laugh and will be picking one up.
Chronoauts, by Mark Millar and Sean Murphy is the story of two buddies who love to have fun. They’re also scientific geniuses. When their research leads them to a time-traveling adventure, will they use their knowledge for the good of all mankind? Or use the space-time continuum for their own ends? This is the story of man’s first, televised steps through the time-stream and everything going wrong in the process.
The Chrononauts #1 Third Eye Variant showcases the funniness of the two characters, check it out below: Continue reading “Variant Envy: Chrononauts #1 Third Eye Variant”
