What up CHU Live Crew!?! Shawn B. back again with another “One Year Ago Today round up.
Hope everyone’s doing well! Warm weather is starting here in New England…sort of. Not sure about everyone else but that Vitamin D really gives me a jolt of energy after a long winter. Even walking into my comic room feels different and gets me excited for a summer of collecting and comic events. I usually just go to the Boston Con, but this year I’ll also be attending MASSive Comic Con in June. Want to get my first print of The Pro signed by Jimmy and Amanda. That’s right we are on a first name basis. We go way back. We even went to different schools together. Continue reading “Picks of the Week One Year Ago Today! 4/20/17”

This is like calling an election early.
It is nice to walk into your local comic shop on Wednesday and get your comics. It is even nicer when by the end of Wednesday, the books are selling for multiple times cover price. But it is a home run when the book sells out at on-line retail shops and is selling for multiple times cover price the night before the comic comes out. Redneck #1 is one of those books. Continue reading “Wednesday Winner: Redneck #1”

Secret Empire #0 is out tomorrow.
What is a Marvel event without a death? Secret Empire has at least one death in the midst of all the chaos going on in the issue.  This one seems fitting since it is a character that Nick Spencer created, and since he is writing the event series. (Please not that while images are obscured, the accompanying text isn’t. Only proceed if you don’t mind spoilers.) Continue reading “Death in Secret Empire #0: A Quick Spoiler”

Greetings to my Comics Heating Up and Awesomesauce families. Thank you all for reading this each and every week. I am have some really awesome stuff coming up and when the time is right I will fill you all in the details. Thank you for the friendship, encouragement, advice, especially during the last six months . I love you guys and am so blessed to have you all in my life.
Before we make some money on some comics, I would like to give a few opinions and assessments on a few things. First off, Wrestle-mania 33 was very enjoyable and the WWE network is well worth the ten bucks a month. The third season of Rick and Morty was one of the best cartoons I have ever seen on Adult Swim, and can anyone explain the current prices of Rick and Morty #1-6? crazysauce! Batman Dark Knight III The Master Race #8 was a fun read, odd to say, and the Flintstones #7 and Green Lantern/Space Ghost were my reads of the week. On a side note, why is it so damn difficult to find Pop Rock candy in the stores?
Now, lets make some money on some comics, cause you can’t teach that. Continue reading “Blind Adam's Hidden Gems Vol. 48”
