One Year Later: Spec Review for 4/5/17

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. Continue reading “One Year Later: Spec Review for 4/5/17”

5 Awesome Retro Superhero Games

For true comic superhero fans, there’s almost an inherent appreciation of all things vintage. That’s not to say new things aren’t exciting as well (let’s just say Avengers: Infinity War looks incredibly cool). But the old stuff is always great, whether because it’s amusing, high quality, or simply pure – or all three! And just as we sometimes look back at ageless toys from comic history, we’re at a point in which certain comic-related video games feel like canonical history also.
So with no further ado, I wanted to take a look back at five awesome retro superhero games, appearing below in no particular order. Continue reading “5 Awesome Retro Superhero Games”

Alana’s Ageless Toys: DC Super Powers

Aloha CHUniverse and welcome everyone to the first edition of my new weekly toy write up. Lately I’ve been moving from comic collecting to toy collecting, with good reason. The vintage toy market which has been down in the dumps, starting about 7 years ago, but is coming back stronger then ever, much like comics have done in the same time frame. Toys have first appearances like comics but you will find, finding unopened 1st appearance toys is a lot harder and in most cases rarer than their comic counterparts. Each week I’ll go over a different toy set from the past or have a universal theme for the toys we talk about like “Batman” toys. I’ll try and keep as comic related as possible but some weeks we may not. By no means am I professional toy collector, so I may get things wrong from time to time. Vintage toy information is not as easy to come by as comic info. So if I make a mistake I look forward to being corrected and please do so. Now let’s talk toys!

Mel V.’s Variant Picks for April 4th, 2018

What Up CHU? Mel V here with your weekly Variant Picks for April 4th. This past week I took the next step in comic collecting as I started to buy stuff that’s not directly related to spec (to be honest I’ve been getting Spec’d out. Don’t get it twisted, I still love Spec but I’m evolving into more of a collector at this point.)

As of recently I’ve become a Monster Hunter World junkie and I tracked down the 1st Appearance. It was a fulfilling moment when I was able to find it! woot woot… Anyway let’s get into some of this week’s variants that I’m feeling…some good ones on the list as well as a great sleeper pick in my opinion.. So let’s get into it Continue reading “Mel V.’s Variant Picks for April 4th, 2018”
