A little late to this press release but it’s still worthy of mentioning as this was one of the better Image titles I think in the past 5 years, particularly for an ongoing Image title. You don’t see many Image and indie titles making it this far along the release road.. This is one book I’d love to see adapted in a kick ass long running television show.

This weeks FOC pick goes to a Marvel book I think will have some people talking.
We shouldn’t just collect or flip books, we should also read them. A good story can make your purchase well worth the money spent if you ask me. After all, we buy books to read for entertainment right? Even if you can’t flip them, reading is just as rewarding.

Greetings my Comics Heating Up family. Going to keep this short and sweet. I am loving Watchmen on HBO, all the CW shows, Riverdale and Batwoman are amazing, as is the Flash. Flamebird could use some serious cosplay love as could Betty Cooper & bronze age Vicky Vale. Scott Snyders JLA is amazing as is Sharky the Bounter Hunter. Now lets make some money with comics cause you can’t teach that. Continue reading “Blind Adam’s Hidden Gems Vol. 103”
I am a big fan of Scout Comics, have been very vocal about them, and the books they put out. Their comics cover a ton of genres and have had some spec hits lately (especially with titles that have been optioned.) They have a new book coming out titled Snow White Zombie Apocalypse coming out that hits for me as it is a horror title. Artist Carla Cohen is doing an exclusive cover that is worth checking out. Continue reading “Carla Cohen Covers Snow White Zombie Apocalypse”

This week I chose 7 books, and every single one of them with low degrees of liquidity. Only one really showed high Open Interest, pre-sale. One is by a known home-run hitting cover artist. The next is a character story line driven, two are indies; the Craziest one? Well I just like the cover of the Count Crowley Reluctant Midnight Monster Hunter #1.
