Hollywood reporter has reported that Chew, once being developed as a Showtime TV show is being developed into an Animated TV show. John Laymen is saying that an animated show does not mean that a live action TV show is out of the works.

The Diamond Comics Advanced Reorder list shows what comic shops are upping their orders on before the books ship. These could be new #1’s, books that have got some heat behind them, 2nd prints of already sold out books, or stuff that buyers are coming in asking for. This week is a treasure trove of sold out books going back for 2nd prints. This means the first prints are long gone from the distributor and could be seeing an increase in price.

Some days are better than other. Some weekends are better than others. This was a good weekend to be away and make some good pickups out of state
One of the greatest things about traveling, for me at least, is to check out comic shops in the areas I go to. I plan on doing more reviews on shops, but have only done one so far and I gave it a horrible review. Today I hit several shops on my way to Philadelphia up 95 N and one really stood out above the rest.
Cult Fiction Comics located at 3103 Chichester Ave in Boothwyn, Pa is a fantastic shop. My iPhone’s Gps is set to pick up Comic shops along my route. It also drains the battery. These guys are located right off 95, maybe a three mile detour, and are worth stopping in for.
I had the privilege to be contacted by New Paradigm studios president Brandon Perlow in reference to their new book ‘Watson and Holmes.’ He was a great guy to talk to via email and agreed to an interview about his company, the smash book, and what else they have coming down the pipeline.
(sorry this took me an extra day to get up I have been on the road)

Boom Studios is happy to announce that Day Men #1 has sold out of its first printing. It will be going back for a second printing. When a books sells out at the distributor level it does not mean you can’t find them in stores, it just means that once the stores sell out, they cannot get any more.
Wow, last week was a huge week in speculation, not only in news coming out of SDCC either. The hottest release by far was New Paradigm Studios ‘Watson and Holmes’. This one completely flew under the radar and blew up big. Sets of all three covers hit $100 within days. This week has some good books to look out for as well, and as always, if something is getting hot we will let you know about it. Here is this weeks picks.
