Informed Comic Book Speculation and Pop Culture News
I know what you are thinking, why is the site talking about Walmart and super low prices. Well, looks like Walmart.com may have been hacked or had a pricing glitch and, for a while, featured some seriously low prices on some graphic novels.

Each week Terry Hoknes of www.Hoknescomics.com releases a video with his picks of the week. Here are this weeks.
Picks of the Week continued… 11/6/13
Left one off the list in my tiredness of getting the post out last night. All Crime #2 comes out tomorrow. The first issue had a tiny print run and sold out quickly. It was going for more than cover on eBay. Since this is the 2nd issue, expect it to be harder to find. In addition to all that, the first issue was a good Pulpy read.
Bi-weekly column and list compiled by comics historian Terry Hoknes of www.HoknesComics.com – hoknes@hotmail.com
This list is updated every 2 weeks. This list is compiled from my non-stop research of the current market. I believe these were the most demand and growing in value books this month. This list focuses on all regular edition covers. (Variants are not listed otherwise they would likely dominate the entire list due to instant high prices and calculated small print runs). If you think I have missed any hot titles/issues of the last 5 years please let me know. Here are my picks of what I believe are the hottest comics at this very moment from all sold releases of the last few years online based on back issue sales ABOVE cover price.
