HookJaw Cover Art Released
As a huge Jaws fan, one book I am really looking forward to is HookJaw coming out from Titan Comics. HookJaw was a serial released in Action #1 (a British publication not the DC one) that was so gory it was banned. The original story is hard to find as a result. Si Spurrier, who recently did Cry Havok and previously worked on Six Gun Gorilla has reimagined the story and it will be coming out shortly. We previously ran the promo art, but the covers to the series are out and I am really excited for this one. Continue reading “HookJaw Cover Art Released”

Blind Adam’s Hidden Gems Vol. 27
Greetings to my Awesomesauce and Comics Heating Up families. Thank you all for reading this each and every week. Before I give the top twenty gems of the week, I want to make an observation. Why aren’t the classic cartoons on dvd? No Spiderman and his Amazing Friends. No 1982 or 1987 Incredible Hulk, No Filmations Superboy. And the official Tick Animated has certain episodes cut out, whats up with that?
Superman #6 is my comic of the week. Loved it. If you have the time, go watch Cartoon All Stars to the Rescue on Youtube. What a PSA on the evils of drugs. Well, now lets make some money with some comics and you can’t teach that. Continue reading “Blind Adam’s Hidden Gems Vol. 27”

Poyo's Picks of the Week for Sept 14, 2016
Another week, another new comic book Wednesday. I should just skip a few weeks, I’m so far behind in my readings it’s not even funny. I’m sad to say my favorite local shop is closing down, due to landlord issues. No new comics until the end of October when he’s being forced out and that’s just not enough time to find a new shop to operate out of. The owner is entertaining the idea of selling, so if anyone’s in the market of buying a comic book store, well, you’ll have to find a new location…
Enough with the sad news, let’s get on with the picks of the week. Continue reading “Poyo's Picks of the Week for Sept 14, 2016”
