One Year Later: Spec Review for 8/16/17
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.

Spoilers: Superman #2 First Appearance of Nuclear Man
Back in the 80’s, before Keaton was Batman, before Marvel had their hit movies, and before DC messed up theirs completely, one hero stood above all others at the box office, Superman. However, Superman 4 The Quest for Peace was not one of the best in the series. It did give us the character Nuclear Man. Nuclear Man was the main protagonist in the film and was an anti-Superman. Other than the movie adaptation, he never appeared in comics. Now he has. Check out the spoilers below. Continue reading “Spoilers: Superman #2 First Appearance of Nuclear Man”
