Here is something interesting, Source Point Press sent out an email for Stranger Comics. In the email, it mentions significant movie plans for the comic, Niobe. Now, we have been on this book since Mel first mentioned it three years ago in his Baltimore Comic Con Wrap Up and later when I mentioned the plans for a movie in the One to Watch: Niobe post after talking to Sebastion at Stranger Comics.

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 10/18/17”
