This week, Poyo can relax since everyone wants to eat turkey instead of chickens. All those poor turkey’s.. this weeks picks are in honor of their sacrifice of filling our bellies.
Also, Poyo would like to remind everyone that Thanksgiving isn’t about those damn Pilgrims coming to America, learning how to grow food and get along with the natives, it’s about having the damn day off, which everyone should enjoy. So if you can, do not give into the hype of having to go shop at Wally World on Thanksgiving evening, let those greedy corporations know that their employees should have the day off just as much as anyone else. So be kind and instead wake up at 3am on Friday morning to go stand out in front of a store to save a few bucks you crazy crazy people.. I’ll be sleeping in on Friday since I already got most of my shopping done weeks ago.

451 Media caught up with best-selling writer George Pelecanos (The Wire, The Pacific, Treme) to give you a behind the scenes sneak peek of his graphic novel debut, SIX.
SIX is a searing tale of warfare at its worst and fighting soldiers at their best. When the wife of a former Marine buddy finds herself a target of a vicious Mexican cartel, she ends up turning to her husband’s old squad for help. Pelecanos is collaborating with Hollywood director Michael Bay’s 451 Media, which blends published content with digital video by using a technologically advanced ink in the printing process that accesses content via an app when a smart device is “touched” to it. Continue reading “THE WIRE’s George Pelecanos Discusses Graphic Novel Debut, SIX”

The first ever Local Comic Shop Day is next Saturday, November 28th, 2015! Now, what is LCSD? Brian Hibbs, writing more passionately than I could about the subject has described it as the Record Store Day model transplanted into the comic retailer world. Essentially, it’s an exclusive ComicsPRO event where only ComicsPRO member stores can participate. If your local comic shop is not a member of ComicsPRO, there’s a $50.00 shakedown for them to participate. There are a lot more points that non- ComicsPRO retailers have the ability to, rightfully object to, but that’s not the point of this post.
LCSD is all about exclusivity. Exclusive retailer participation and exclusive variants in limited runs. I spoke with Greg at Black Cat Comics this week and the story is that, unless your local comic shop is breaking their contract, retailers aren’t allowed to hold, presell, or in any way give regular customers an advantage to obtain LCSD exclusive prints. So, get there, stand in the cold after Thanksgiving like a dweeb and pick up these specs. Continue reading “Drunk Wooky’s Local Comic Shop Day Spec Highlights”
