Black and White Spread convention teaser hits ebay
Man I need money. I need money to buy this book. The Spread combines a couple of things I loved growing up, The Baby Cart Assassin movies, also known as Lone Wolf and Cub, the looks of the Lone Wolf and Cub manga, and John Carpenter’s The Thing (by the way, if you know Swedish, they tell you in the beginning of the movie what is going on, a spoiler without ever knowing it.)

Larry's Comics Pick of the Week for 7/9/14
We always appreciate Larry from Larryscomics.net stopping by to drop speculator goodness on us. His past few weeks have been dead on. Here is Larry’s Comics pick of the week
Before I make my pick.
A public service announcement, an anti-speculator-y pick:
Don’t buy DC Comics Grayson #1
Just. Don’t. Buy it.
Make them respect THE source material.
Send a message.
It’s the re-packaging of our nerd culture for modest budget tv source material.
Publishers are now terraforming characters to better suit other media.
Dick Grayson first appeared as Robin in Detective Comics #38 1940, as Nightwing in New Titans #44 & tomorrow as an ordinary, generic homogenized action hero in Grayson #1.
Lame.
