A look ahead to Wednesday 3/19/14

This past Wednesday was a great week for books. I was very excited for not one, but two Stray Bullets books. If you have not read Stray Bullets you can find many of the first series issues cheap on eBay. It is an over the top crime drama book, done really well, very seedy, which was self published by Dave Lapham. Continue reading “A look ahead to Wednesday 3/19/14”

Joan of Arc Ongoing series from Big Dog Ink

I have been a big fan of Zenescope books for their flip potential. I have made some very good money off selling early copies of Grimm Fairy Tales, and have continued to try to look for books that capture the same audience. As of late, I have been spec-ing on Big Dog Press books because of the low print runs and dynamic artists they feature on the covers, that are often sought after by collectors. Continue reading “Joan of Arc Ongoing series from Big Dog Ink”

Video Nasty: UK Horror Comic Debut

I love small press horror books. I love the 1980’s slasher movies I used to rent at VHS video stores. I loved the box art that may not have anything to do with the actual video inside. Being a child of the 80’s I grew up on a steady diet of these types of horror movies, and comic books,(and skate boarding but that is really irrelevant.) At just shy of 40, I still hold all these things dear still. But what does this have to do with comic books? There is a new comic debuting this weekend out of the UK that reminds me of all these things, called Video Nasty. Continue reading “Video Nasty: UK Horror Comic Debut”

Diamond Comics Advanced Reorder List for 3/13/14

The Diamond Comics Advanced Reorder list shows what comic shops are going back to get more copies of before the final order cut off. These are books that had a hit first issue, are getting talked about on blogs and message boards, are getting in store chatter or question. What ever the reason, this list is a great spec tool for predicting what is going to be hot. Continue reading “Diamond Comics Advanced Reorder List for 3/13/14”

More Guardians of the Galaxy Speculation

Here is one that I saw over at the google+ comic book speculation and investing page.
Drax the Destroyer’s first appearance has been heating up. Part of the big draw has been that his first appearance was in Iron Man #55, also the first appearance of Thanos. But one thing about the movie Drax is being passed up. Continue reading “More Guardians of the Galaxy Speculation”

Speculating the new Star Wars Movies

Here is a great tip I found over at the google+ comic book speculation and investment community.
It is well known that the new Star Wars movies are coming from JJ Abrams. The word around is that it will focus some on the Expanded Universe and on the children of Han and Leia. Continue reading “Speculating the new Star Wars Movies”

Diamond Comics Advanced Reorder List for 3/5/14

images
The Diamond Comics Advanced reorder list can be a great tool for comic book speculators. It shows what comic shops are upping their orders on before the final order cut off. They could be bumping up their orders due to a first issue selling better than expected, a new series getting heat on message boards and blogs, in store chatter, or what ever, they need more copies. This weeks is really telling (last weeks was kinda boring with all the All New Marvel now). Continue reading “Diamond Comics Advanced Reorder List for 3/5/14”

Last of Us Video game to get movie

We covered Last of Us American Dream a lot last year as the comic prequel, based on the game, was heating up (that is an understatement as it sky rocketed.) And then it cooled off some. If you were lucky enough to get stuck with copies, it may be time to think about selling them again as Deadline Hollywood broke the news a couple of hours ago that Sony will be making a movie. There are some big names linked to it too. Continue reading “Last of Us Video game to get movie”

Harley Quinn on Arrow?

Season 2 Episode 16 is going to be the one episode of Arrow to watch even if you do not watch arrow. The Suicide Squad will be in full force, and looks like Slade gets his Deathstroke mask. And looks like Joker’s girl Harley is featured as well. Continue reading “Harley Quinn on Arrow?”

Thanks to Shima for this one!

New Small Press #1's for late April and May

Small press releases are where it is at when it comes to speculation on new books. They do not have the print runs of the Big Two and if they heat up, they are much harder to find. Here are some of the release for late April/May to keep an eye out on. Continue reading “New Small Press #1's for late April and May”

Nova Corps in Guardians of the Galaxy trailer

If the Nova Corps is in the Guardians of the Galaxy trailer, that can only mean they are in the movie. If they are in the movie, that can only meant the first appearance will heat up. Continue reading “Nova Corps in Guardians of the Galaxy trailer”

Afterlife with Archie #7 Pepoy Variant

Afterlife with Archie continues to be a big hit for Archie. The Pepoy variants keep knocking it out of the park with their more racy costumes (lingerie) for the old Archie gal pals. Afterlife with Archie #7 is no different. Continue reading “Afterlife with Archie #7 Pepoy Variant”
