Tag: agent poyo’s picks of the week

It’s that time again, the best day of the week, new comic book Wednesday and what can we say, the past few weeks have been busy. Lots of new titles coming out, tons of indie books. The second release of 4 Kids Walk Into A Bank since Diamond goofed up and sent to some retailers ahead of schedule.
So let’s get on with the picks…

It’s that time of the week again, always feels like Christmas Eve, every Tuesday, the night before new comic book Wednesday. Every week, all these goodies come out for all us comic book nerds to have nerdasms over, what’s hot, what’s not.. what’s going to heat up? What did I miss for an easy flip?
So this week is no different, with lots of new good stuff so lets get on with it. Continue reading “Agent Poyo's Picks of the Week for 4/20/2016”

Each week, hundreds of new books come out.. yes, a line stolen straight from Tony’s mouth in his picks of the week post. I’m here to tell you that only a few are worthy of being picks, because Super Secret Agent Poyo is picky and can’t afford every new book (sorry, Secret Agents are not rich, don’t let James Bond or Ninjak fool you, we’re poor as heck).
Anyways, lots of new books are coming out this week.. so let’s pick the winners (or the most interesting to pick up and just enjoy to read). Continue reading “Agent Poyo’s Picks of the Week for April 13th, 2016”

Hey look, a more promising and exciting week from the last few weeks. I’ve actually stayed under budget the past few weeks (although I did score some Superman American Alien #1 and #2 this past weekend).
How about that Walking Dead finale? Negan finally showed up and it was almost stright from the comics. Looks like all those Walking Dead #100 issues are selling like hot cakes. Now’s the time to sell’em if you got them. Or you can wait, this is a character that is likely going to be sticking around so expect possibly Governor type prices once supplies start drying up. I know there’s a lot of them out there but soon enough, even the variant covers will start to heat up as well.
So, let’s get on with this weeks picks. Continue reading “Agent Poyo's Picks of the Week for April 6th, 2016”

Not sure about the rest of you all but this seems like another slow week, not much coming out, at least nothing that stands out as exciting. At least it’ll be nice on my wallet as I don’t plan to pick up too much.
So let’s get on with the picks. Continue reading “Agent Poyo's Picks of the Week for March 30th, 2016”

Spring is here and so are new comics! Hope you are following the site as Monstress #1 2nd print is on fire currently. If you find it, buy it immediately if you want to make easy money.
Let’s get on with the picks for this week.

There are delays being reported in Central Texas. Most shops reporting new issues will be available by mid to late afternoon.
It’s not going to ruin my day though, I’m working from home all week since the kids are on spring break.
Lots of new stuff out, lots of potentials so let’s get on with it shall we? Continue reading “Agent Poyo's Picks of the Week March 16, 2016”

Did you find that Brooks A-Force variant? Don’t worry, I didn’t either because who actually reads A-Force? If you’re really dying to get your hands on one, just wait, the hype will likely die some and they’ll come down in price (and if they don’t, well boo hoo).
This week brings a lot more exciting comics and more Batman Superman Dawn of Justice covers, so let’s get on with it shall we? Continue reading “Agent Poyo's Perfect Picks for March 9th, 2016”

Is it me or has the last few weeks been sort of slow on the speculative front for new comics? Well, hopefully this weeks brings some excitement since we all know about a Diamond goof that will make one comic a hit (or not, just depends on demand in the long run). We are also seeing some DC Batman v Superman type variants before the movie is released. So let’s get on with the picks shall we…

Another exciting week of comics is upon us. What will be hot? What could be the big winner this week? It’s all a guessing game for the most part since anything could happen. Hopefully there aren’t any delays this week in my area due to the weather up North, which totally threw off my weekly ritual of picking up my books.
So, let’s get on with it shall we… Continue reading “Agent Poyo's Picks of the Week for Feb 24th, 2016”

So, we raised money for Larime’s wife, to literally save her. A huge thanks to all that participated. I would consider it a success and it’s all going to a great cause.
Now it’s time for new comic book Wednesday. Last week just wasn’t that exciting, with no potential specs or heat on most of the books. Sure I picked up around 20 or so books myself, but most if not all were just my ongoing pickups I’m currently reading.
So is this week any different? Hard to tell, so let’s get on with the picks of the week. Continue reading “Agent Poyo's Picks of the Week for Feb 17th, 2016”

Flowers are overrated (and pricey) and will die within a week. Chocolate will give you diabetes.. so Poyo’s recommendation for this upcoming baby making weekend is comic books. Yeah you heard me, buy the love of your life a bunch of comic books. If they can’t appreciate that, well, then you keep them for yourself. So it’s an all round win-win for you.
So now, let’s get on with the picks shall we.. Continue reading “Agent Poyo's Picks for Feb 10th, 2016”

With all this blizzard nonsense in the Northeast, here’s to hoping there are no delays in you comic book nerds in getting your new books on this fabulous Wednesday. As for me, I’ll probably be wearing flip flop sandals while out getting my books.
Speaking of books.. let’s get on with this weeks picks shall we? Continue reading “Agent Poyo's Picks of the Week for Jan 27th, 2016”

Not sure about the rest of you all but this week is going to be a smaller week for myself, which I welcome with open arms to save some money. I also read around 40 something comics this past weekend to catch up from getting behind, as I am preparing to finally read Preacher so I’m good and ready when the show debuts on AMC.
So let’s get on with the picks… Continue reading “Agent Poyo's Picks of the Week for Jan 20th, 2016”

I’m gonna run on Wednesday, I’m gonna run dammit. There’s a good chance one store will have the Walking Dead B&W variant sitting out with the rest at cover, so yeah, I’m gonna have to forgo my flip flops (yeah yeah, I live in Central Texas, it’s flip flop season year round).. and put on my running shoes.
So besides The Walking Dead big issue # 150.. let’s get on with the picks. Continue reading “Agent Poyo's Picks of the Week for Jan 13th, 2016”

It’s the mark of another year around the sun, so let’s hope 2016 brings us more joy with more great comics. Continue reading “Agent Poyo's Picks of the Week for 1/6/16”

The last Wednesday of 2015. Overall I think it was a great year, there didn’t seem to be as many duds this year as last, at least for myself. For the most part, there was a lot of great new series introduced especially amongst the Independent Publishers including Black Mask and 451 Media.

Let’s get on with the last picks of the week for the year 2015, which is a bit smaller to end the year out. Continue reading “Poyo’s Picks of the Week for Dec 30th, 2015”

New Comic Wednesday, the best damn day of the week. Skip work, get to your LCS early I say.. Continue reading “Poyo’s Picks of the Week for December 16, 2015”

Another Week, Another Wednesday. I got the great pleasure in meeting Greg Pak (Totally Awesome Hulk) along with the lovely Marjorie Liu (Monstress) this past week at a local signing. Too very talented writers and comic book creators. So it wasn’t a bad week and weekend for me.

If your not reading Monstress, you should. Great story, top notch art work.
Also I’ll throw it out there if you have kids who love disgusting things, Pak has a kickstarter for an alphabet book of disgusting things. You can check it out at ABCDisgusting.com. He’s also Kingsway West coming soon, I think it was slated for November but probably got pushed back. I think it’s planned to be under Dark Horse. Check it out at KingswayWest.com
Now, on with the picks…. Continue reading “Agent Poyo’s Picks of the Week for 12/9/15”
