Blind Adam’s Hidden Gems Vol. 114
Greetings my Comics Heating Up family. I hope everyone is safe and staying at home, washing your hands, and enjoying some amazing comic books and entertainment. I have been experiencing some rough days so to everyone that has been helping me get through this crisis, thank you. First off, Batman Adventures the new digital comic is amazing. I hope they put this in print. Immortal Hulk #33 had a great twist. Money Shot by Vault is my new favorite indy book. Old school TMNT,Thundercats, and Family Guy have helped me get through the nights. I am planning something special for when this is over, and word to big bird if your thinking of going to church or keeping your wedding plans just stop the. Social Distancing is where it is at, and if you can’t live together through a crisis like this, then maybe reconsider those plans when it is over. Now lets make the money with some comics cause you can’t teach that. Continue reading “Blind Adam’s Hidden Gems Vol. 114”

Spoilers: Batman #93 – Who Is The Designer?
Is anyone having CHU spoiler withdrawal symptoms? Didn’t realize how much I miss them myself. Maybe some quick spoilers will help cheer you up since all new comic news sort of ceased since the COVID-19 shutdowns of businesses.

Regardless, here’s the few panes where we learn the true identity of new guy that calls himself The Designer that was waiting for Batman in his own study in Wayne Manor at the end of Batman #92 that was spoiled a few weeks back as well.
