We have mentioned Stabbity Bunny on the site several times. We have even done two give aways the self-published issues (raw 1-4 and a signed graded 9.8 #1 variant.) Stabbity Bunny will be released from Scout Comics on 1/31/18 (according to Diamond) and is a must pick up for me, however, searching eBay turns up the self-published issues are doing incredibly well. Continue reading “Ones to Watch: Stabbity Bunny Self Published Issues”

Doctor Strange #383 is out this week. It is written by Donny Cates. Cates has done a good job dropping some surprise endings in his last couple of issues. If you haven’t been following along with the series, then you are missing one of the best runs on the series in a long time. Steven Strange has been bested by Loki, who is now Sorcerer Supreme. Last issues we got a surprise return of a dead character. We get an interesting twist ending this week as well. Spoiled images are hidden under spoiler warnings.

Greetings to my Comics Heating Up and Awesomesauce families. Wow, it is almost Christmas, Star Wars the Last Jedi, & Hanukkah time. The festival of lights needs more songs on the radio. I am sick of only Christmas songs already. If your looking for a hidden gem of a read, check out Peter Pan and the Warlords of Oz. It is a series of one shots from 1998. Had to find and pricy, but a great story.
Thank you guys for everything, as usual. Now lets make some money with some comics because you can’t teach that. Continue reading “Blind Adam's Hidden Gems Vol. 71”
