Alright, let’s see if I can’t give a top ten list for comics without any automated system pulling and extracting the data for me. Just the good ‘ol fashion way of browsing eBay completed sales (because I looked at the eBay API and that’s just something I have zero desire to learn at the moment).

We shouldn’t just collect or flip books, we should also read them. A good story can make your purchase well worth the money spent if you ask me. After all, we buy books to read for entertainment right? Even if you can’t flip them, reading is just as rewarding (particularly in our current scenario).
This is the Stay at Home Quarantine Omnibus Edition.

Greetings my Comics Heating Up family. I hope everyone is safe and staying at home, washing your hands, and enjoying some amazing comic books and entertainment. I have been experiencing some rough days so to everyone that has been helping me get through this crisis, thank you. First off, Batman Adventures the new digital comic is amazing. I hope they put this in print. Immortal Hulk #33 had a great twist. Money Shot by Vault is my new favorite indy book. Old school TMNT,Thundercats, and Family Guy have helped me get through the nights. I am planning something special for when this is over, and word to big bird if your thinking of going to church or keeping your wedding plans just stop the. Social Distancing is where it is at, and if you can’t live together through a crisis like this, then maybe reconsider those plans when it is over. Now lets make the money with some comics cause you can’t teach that. Continue reading “Blind Adam’s Hidden Gems Vol. 114”
