I love going to signings and meeting creators. I had the chance to meet not only the creator of the new Gwar Matt Miner, but also several members of the band themselves, Bonesnapper The Cave Troll, Sawborg Destructo, and Beefcake the Mighty. I grabbed a few copies of the Third Eye Variant with cover art by Matt Maguire (aka Sawborg Destructo.) Continue reading “Gwar Signing”

Hey, CHU, it’s DrunkWooky here with your monthly HoloNet update from around the galaxy!
I figured I would give top billing to an upcoming publication that has flown under the radar so far. Since, the Star Wars publishing rights reverted back to Disney and therefore Marvel back in 2015, everybody who has wanted to know has been well aware of every new title coming from the lumbering juggernaut that is Marvel’s PR machine. Continue reading “DrunkWooky's Star Wars Report for 06/09/2017”

What up CHUnderbolts!?! I know I am really stretching it with CHUnderbolts but it is pretty hard to come up with a new one every week so please bear with my corniness. Any suggestions for future uses of CHU in comic related words please chime in below. I think I only have around 40+ more to think of to have a freshie every week of the year. HAH!
Shawn B. back with another One Year Later round up, where we take a look at some of the comics that Anthony, Mel and Poyo spec-ed 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: 6/8/16 Spec Review”

Sorry about the delay on getting this up. Louie submitted it a while back and things being hectic I haven’t been able to get it on the site. Thanks to Louie M. who covers conventions for comicsheatingup.net for doing it.
Phoenix Comicon took place over the Memorial Day weekend in Downtown Phoenix, AZ, and is one of the largest comic cons in the country.
The event kicked off with great excitement given their incredible guests list including Dick Van Dyke, Karen Gillan, Danny Trejo, and Jon Bernthal. If you haven’t heard already, on day 1, a man was taken down by police who was carrying 3 handguns, a shotgun, ammo, and knives.  Word from people who were there was that security was light for preview night (in years past, there were bag checks at the door and prop checks).  Someone noticed the posts this human turd was making on social media and tipped off police. A man carrying that much firepower has bad intentions and I thank God he was caught before he could carry out his plans.  He was posting pics of police he wanted to murder and his plans to assassinate Jason David Frank (Green Ranger). Special thanks to the person who reported him, she could have ignored his posts but chose not to. Continue reading “Louie M.'s Phoenix Comic Con Wrap Up”
