The DC B cover program has been awesome. Big name artists providing incredible art for cover price. It got even better recently when DC dropped the logos on the books to be almost non-existent. Joshua Middleton’s Batgirl #23 hit hard and sold well on the secondary market. The image for his cover for Batgirl #24 hit Diamond the other day and looks awesome as well. Check it out below: Continue reading “Attack of the Killer B's: Batgirl #24 Joshua Middleton Variant”

Blind Adam's Hidden Gems Vol. 81
Greetings my Comics Heating Up and Awesomesauce families. First off thank you. Thank you for reading this each and every week. Before we make some money with some comics. Allow me to make a few points. First of all Supersons #16, Champions #19-20, Batman Beyond #16-20, Captain America #701, and Thor Gates of Valhalla #1 were my reads of the week. The Flash #46-47 are two of my books of the year. Flash war is #awesome sauce. Gotham ended season four in a great way. Can’t wait for the Flash season five. Arrow was great. And Solo was the best Disney star wars movie ever or at least since Force Awakens. Now let’s make some money with some comics because you can’t teach that Continue reading “Blind Adam's Hidden Gems Vol. 81”

Collecting Carol Danvers Pt. 2

This is a quick follow up to what has happened since then. Continue reading “Collecting Carol Danvers Pt. 2”

One Year Later: Spec Review for 5/24/17
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 5/24/17”

One to Watch: Unnatural #1 Manara Variant
This one is an odd one. We talked about Unnatural the other day. This is a more mature title than we usually spotlight. This is the story of Leslie, who is a simple pig girl. She loves sushi, she’s stuck with a job she hates, and she lives under a brutal totalitarian government-one that punishes transgressors for anything deemed ‘unnatural.’ The weirdness of the series comes from the fact it is an Italian title being brought to the US. Italian artist Milo Manara has done the B cover for it and it is definitely one to watch. Continue reading “One to Watch: Unnatural #1 Manara Variant”
