Agent Poyo’s Picks of the Week for May 11th, 2016

Another week, another FCBD has passed.. did everyone get the free books they wanted? Did anyone score the FCBD Funko Civil War Dorbz? There might of been a new Chinese Superman appearance or maybe there wasn’t this past week in Batman Superman #32. I still think the long term spec hit will be Walking Dead #154… even Midtown sold out within a day, might be a rare issue that gets a second printing. Wither way, what a crazy week and upon us is likely another crazy week with lots of new books hitting the shelves, so let’s get on with it shall we?

The continuing saga of the Chinese Superman

What a weird week. Not going to lie, it has been a strange one. First, Batman Superman #32 hot because of the apparent first appearance of the “Superman of China”. Then I was contacted by a retailer in reference to it not being the first appearance amd the subsequent first appearance will be in a later issue. Bleeding Cool also ran a similar but unconnected story with essentially the same account of the first appearance. Now, DC is saying something different.

Black Eyed Kids Joe Pruitt Signing Results

I always like to come on here after a signing and give the results of the signings. This went really well. Joe Pruett was awesome to talk to and I got signed copies for everyone who requested them. As you see below, they came our incredible. I picked a signature placement  that would not interfere with the art. Most were signed in bronze (comes off looking a little gold in the pictures) until my bronze sharpie died.

Alana's Weekend Spec Civil War and Dr. Strange edition

Hey fellow CHU’ers back with a few more specs for your back issue bin searching this weekend. With Civil War’s U.S. release yesterday figured it’s a good time to go over not just key books for Civil War but also a few for upcoming Black Panther and Dr. Strange flicks. As most Civil War key books have been spec’d for months and prices are high a couple have slipped through and are still worth a buy. I’ll try and do this as spoiler free as possible, so let’s jump in. Continue reading “Alana's Weekend Spec Civil War and Dr. Strange edition”
