Aloha CHUniverse and welcome back to Weekend Specs. I’m back and filled with comic enthusiasm after a long break from collecting comics. In the meantime my husband was collecting Jordan’s he doesn’t even wear, taking all of our comic money. Now that we have more shoe boxes than comic boxes I can get back to collecting comics. This week we cover the Swamp Thing news, Captain Marvel villain, and a few other soon to be relevant characters.
The #1 thing that I find crazy when coming back from breaks is how much everything goes up in price. It’s hard out there to stretch your dollars these days on comic 1st appearances. No longer can you get 30 1st appearances and combined shipping from Mile High for $20, all those books have became $20 bills themselves. Today’s list has one thing in common they all still have attractive buy ins. Good to be back let’s jump in!

What up CHUllectors!?! Shawn B. the One Year Later Investigator, back with another One Year Later round up, where we take a look at some of the comics that Anthony, Mel, and Poyo specced on one year ago. Their specs turn out to be quick flips, slow burns, straight up misses, straight up winners and on and on. Sometimes they spec with their hearts out of their passion for comics. Sometimes they spec based on data. And sometimes they spec based off the word on the street. Either way, all their specs appeal to a few or many collectors whether it is due to them having similar taste in writing or art, or just an opportunity for a collector to flip a book and make money to “support their habit”. So, this is our weekly chance to look back at how some of our buys from a year ago are doing today. Continue reading “One Year Later: Spec Review for 9/6/17”
