It’s National Image Day. So if your lucky, you might be near a comic shop that’s hosting an Image party to celebrate Image’s 25th Anniversary. One shop in my area is having a party, so I might have to swing by and check it out. So feel free to comment if you have an Image Day at any of your local shops with signings, giveaways, etc.
Besides Image Day (which I thought would have more books being released on such a day), let’s get on with my precious picks of what I think you should pick up, whether it’s a flip, a read or you just want to buy it cause it’s so pretty..

Here is an odd one. And thanks to Drunk Wooky who was on the case.
In recent weeks, Marvel has been sending out one per store variants that are very similar to their high ratio variants, with minor changes. The Black and white Alex Ross sketch variant for example was an uncolored version of the 1:100 Mighty Captain Marvel #1, the “Sketch McFarlane” cover for Venom #1 is another example. So could Darth Maul #1 have one as well?

Greetings to my Comics Heating Up and Awesomesauce families. Thank you all for checking this article out each and every week. Before we get into the list, here are some random thoughts and musing… Continue reading “Blind Adam's Hidden Gems #41”

Independent books are the best books where writers and artists can be creative with such work. They can express themselves as artists to bring us great stories and great artwork without the evil corporate overlords in control. Now agentpoyo wants to bring forth what he is looking forward to on the independent and small publisher in the upcoming months. There’s different types of speculating. One side of it consists of determining if a book will have high demand and could lead to easy secondary market flips. The other side I like to focus on is just great potential reads and books.
