More cover art for Spawn #300 released…. as the FOC is getting closer and closer.
We all can love and hate the big two publishers at the same time but with independent books, creators can express their creative works as they see fit. This makes for great reads and great art without the direction of the corporate overlords.

Greetings my Comics Heating Up family. This will be short and sweet. Been tired and not feeling well. Before we make the money with comics I want to say a few things. First off, Batman Who Laughs #7, Amazing Spiderman #26, Captain America #12, Gwenpool #1-25, and any issue of Casper are my reads of the week. Red Bull, you need to make 40 oz cans. Gwenpool needs cosplay love, as does Jessica Cruiz. Now we need to make the money with comics cause you can’t teach that. Continue reading “Blind Adam’s Hidden Gems #99”
