Holy cow. I have never read an Archie book in my life but looks like I will be getting two books a month from them. I do love Afterlife with Archie, taking the familiar Pollyanna-ish characters into a horrific setting. Come October, Archie will be doing it again with Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

THE DAKOIT WEEKLY SPECULATION HITLIST: MAY 28TH 2014!!!
Hey Everyone,
I had no idea this past weekend was so special. Yes, because her talentless majesty, Kim Kardashian, had finally tied the knot with the self professed douche-bag rapper extraordinaire, Kanye West. Forgive me everyone, for I was too busy irate watching the Toronto Blue Jays sweep my beloved Boston Red Sox away handily (yes you heard that right). You see, the Dakoit resided in Boston for 4 years and frequented Fenway Park many a times–ah yes, those were the days, hotdogs nestled inside slices of fresh sliced bread, awkwardly micturating away my watered-down beer into urinal troughs, and yes, the all-revered Bostonian accent uncannily transformed into a form of passionate vulgarity only reserved for the visiting team are moments I really miss. Continue reading “THE DAKOIT WEEKLY SPECULATION HITLIST: MAY 28TH 2014!!!”

THE HOT COMIC CALENDAR
By comic book historian Terry Hoknes of www.HoknesComics.com – hoknes@hotmail.com
As a comic book historian I love keeping track of stats.
So I thought it would be interesting to keep a solid log of every single comic that goes up in value.
This calendar is a log of every comic that suddenly becomes hotter and jumps in value with an actual date.
This list should be continually updated and I hope others will add any comics that I may have missed.
Over a period of time we can look for trends and make interesting comparisons
Here is the 2014 Hot Comic Calendar

Larry's Comic Pick of the Week
Larry from larryscomics.net has been speculating for a long while now. He used to do a weekly newsletter that was awesome. I am glad the he stops by to give us his pick of the week:
I thought COWL #1 had too many “talking heads”
Trees #1 is obviously part of a graphic novel, thus a limited series.
Those two Image titles are “bellybutton picks”
Everybody has one of those on their list.
I’m going to roll with:
AVENGERS #30
MARVEL COMICS
(W) Jonathan Hickman (A/CA) Leinil Francis Yu
WHAT DID HE SEE?
WHY? It’s the 1st appearance of a character that has “it”
It, being: monster speculator potential.
Not going to spoil. Buy one. Read it.
You’ll fall in love…
