So this is a “What If?” story about a what if comic. For the longest time Guardians of Knowhere has been considered the first appearance of Gwen Stacy Venom, AKA Gwenom. She appears on the variant cover to the book as part of Gwen-month. But there is an earlier appearance of Gwen Stacy with a symbiote. Continue reading “What if Guardians of Nowhere #1 Wasn't the First Gwenom?”

Wal-Mart has been trying to get into the comic sales for a while. They started with $5 comic packs, I did a Unbagging Video here. From there, they got into the DC reprint packs, that featured a special printing of recent #1 comics, plus a few other comics in the packs as well. It seems that DC has continued the relationship with War-Mart by releasing a special DC Showcase Magazine in Walmart stores. Continue reading “New 'DC Showcase' Collected Magazine Appearing at War-Mart”

What up Uncanny InCHUmans!?! 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 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 of the word on the street. Either way all of 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 take a look back at how some of our buys from a year ago are doing today. Continue reading “One Year Later: 6/1/16 Spec Review”

If you haven’t heard, the series will focus on Venom and other characters who are Venomized battling it out with “Posion”, a new “Earth based” (organic if you will) Sybiote that takes over other characters to eradicate Venom. Continue reading “Variant Envy: Edge of Venomverse #1 Natali Sanders Variant”

I hope everyone’s Memorial Day was a blast, I know mine was as I once again survived another tandem skydive. I really am thinking about changing careers (or hobby perhaps) since one of the skydivers put it this way, you’ll love your job but be poor as hell. It was a blast though. Total stress reliever, I recommend jumping out of planes to any and everyone.
Back to comics and enough about what I do in my spare time.. So, last week wasn’t too exciting, at least on the spec side of things. Lots of reader books, ongoing title reads that is. The only winner I think was the Seven to Eternity Spawn covers which were kind of scarce in my neck of the woods, one shop didn’t even order any. But this was one that was already selling way above cover in pre-sales on the secondary market. Continue reading “Poyo's Picks of the Week for May 31, 2017”
