I enjoy comic book speculation and have done well with my picks each week. Some take longer than others to heat up, some didn’t take off at all, but each week I still plug along.

Just wanted to send out a quick thanks to everyone who stops by. In less than two months on the new blog we have went from getting a hundred hits a week to nearly 2,000. This is incredible considering we do no advertising on the site and most of you are finding me on google searches. When I stopped writing for the retailer I was working with, I did not tell any of my old subscribers, and was worried I wouldn’t get any hits, but man was I wrong. You guys are the best.
Like us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/comicsheatingup for each landmark we hit I will run a new contest. Once we hit 100 likes I will give a way a random Phantom Variant, Ghost Variant, or Store variant for one lucky subscriber. The contest will run from now until we hit 100 likes.

It was bound to happen, hype built up on “The Sixth Gun’ stemming from the announcement that NBC optioned it for a TV show. When the NBC passed on it, prices dropped.

So as we reported, ‘Hoax Hunters’ has been optioned for a movie deal. The back issue prices have been moving up nicely. But how many issues are there out there? Well Here you go. I do not have a solid number on #2 yet as it did not appear on the top 300 list for books shipped but it is an estimate. All in all, pretty low number for a Modern Comic.
