Informed Comic Book Speculation and Pop Culture News
Thanks to Gabriel C. for sending this over.
Halloween is upon us, my favorite time of year, and with it comes all sorts of spooky things, as well as tricks and treats. DC Comics released some treats recently, which could be trick-y for us here in the States. DC released these Dia de Los Muertos Calaverita covers to Mexican newsstands. CHeck them out: Continue reading “Variant Envy: DC Comics Day of the Dead Calaverita Variants”
We have talked about how we thought Niobe was going to be big. With less than a week out, the book is already sold out a Diamond. More spec sites are pointing to it since we mentioned it. This is going to be a Wednesday Winner, trust me on that. Pre-order copies are being listed for $10-15, the 1:5 variant
is being listed at $10-29, and of course Untamed 1
, Niobe’s first appearance, is just going for crazy money. So, what do you think a Niobe limited to 100 copies is going to do. Continue reading “Niobe #1 Hoknes Variant”

Thanks to Steven Biscotti at What’cha Reading” for the interview with Kristen Gudsnuk
Today sees the long awaited release of one of our most anticipated of comic books – “Henchgirl.” The writer and artist, Kristen Gudsnuk, is someone we’ve known for a while and long supported. We saw her at New York Comic Con earlier this month and with the release of “Henchgirl” at local comic shops today (10/28/15) we thought now would be the perfect time to talk with the young, up and coming talent. Always generous with her time, Gudsnuk spoke with us over the weekend and here is our conversation with one of the brightest and friendliest of people in the business! Continue reading “What’cha Reading: Talking With The Real “Henchgirl”, Kristen Gudsnuk.”

It would be an understatement to say there are going to be a ton of covers for Dark Knight III the Master Race #1. This is going to be a big book, both in size and sales. Expect this one to take the #1 slot for the month in both dollars and number of copies sold, unless Marvel pulls some trick to bump it into second place (they have done that before.) Anyway, our friends at ComicXposure.com ran a cover gallery showing off twenty-one of the covers. Continue reading “Variant Envy: Dark Knight III Master Race #1”

The only Marvel book I am still reading is Spider-Gwen. I just love the concept, as well as suit design for Gwen. It also plays out well for the cosplay crowd.
