2013 New Comics Sept 25 Farlaine The Goblin Rat Queens Sex Criminals Super Other Dead Powerpuff Girl
Each week Terry Hoknes of http://www.hoknescomics.com puts out a video spotlighting hot new comics and sold out books for the week.
We picked Rat Queens #1 as one of the picks of the week this week. Partially because it is a Kurtis J. Wiebe book and partially because from the preview I have seen it looks pretty wicked.

There is a strong under current for Letter 44 from Oni Press which comes out in October. There has been a lot of message board chatter on the book since the SDCC preview came out. The price for that book has continued to stay high. Continue reading “Letter 44 by Charles Soule and Oni Press”
This is a big week for books. One of the year’s biggest and most anticipated books drops this week. That book, of course, is the 3d cover featuring Joker’s Daughter. The character that first appeared in Batman Family #6 or Catwoman #23 depending on who is under that mask. Needless to say get a 3d copy and flip it. Get a 2d copy and read it. Or get which ever and do what ever with it. It is going to be big and has already been going for crazy money. But besides Joker’s darling daughter, there are a bunch of other books you shouldn’t miss out on cause they look like the could heat up.

Not sure if you were able to snag a copy of Mythopolis #1 from Ardden when it hit comic shops recently. It is a solid book with good art and story. It has a twist last page that made me excited for the next issue.
Now 100% DC Villains Month free, coming to you live in 2d.
Well it has been fun buying and flipping the 3d covers. It has not been so much fun to write about them on the Diamond Comics Advanced Reorder list for 6 weeks.
This weeks sees new titles which look good.

DC Comics Villains month covered at Examiner.com
I am occasionally asked to write on Pop-Culture events for my local newspaper. The articles also run at the Examiner.com. Here is the latest one in reference to DC’s Villains month 3d covers.
Well we all know these were going to sell. We just didn’t know how many or how much. I sold through my first weeks covers (held my breath a little) but ended up doubling my money on them (even after ebay fees.) At first it looked sketch but it worked out.
Here is what this weeks 3d covers are going for.

Each week Terry Hoknes of Hoknescomics.com brings us a peek at the new comics being released. Here are the hot comics for delivery on 9/11/13.
I usually give my picks of the week late Tuesday or at the latest early Wednesday. I also like to give a heads up on what else is coming out during the week that may be worth a pick up. Because of being at Baltimore Comic Con this weekend, I am a day behind. So here is a look ahead at what is being released this week.
1. Walking Dead #114 As the book continues to grow and so does the show, more people keep grabbing up issues. Always a good bet.
2. Rachel Rising #19 Still a great book with fantastic story and art by Terry Moore. It was optioned and since they all have a low print run could still be worth the pick up (one of my monthly titles.)
3. The Other Dead #1 The comic has three covers, a regular, a subscription, and an Obama Variant which has already been bringing notice to the series. . This has caused heat just due to the cover image. The story is about zombie animals. May have been delayed a week, but don’t sleep on this one.
4. Ghosted #3 I seriously think this will get made into a movie. It has Kirkman’s star power behind it as it comes out from Skyward.
5. Collider, I mean, Federal Bureau of Physics #3 is still one of Vertigo’s best reads.
6. Brain Boy #1 Dark Horse continues to expand it’s heroes line with this remake of a classic Golden Age character.
7. Eternal Warrior #1 I was never a fan of the original Valiant stuff, but the new launches have been fantastic. This one looks cool from the preview I read.
Thank you to Matthew Swanson for the info.
I received an email this morning in reference to a request sent to CGC about grading ‘The Outliers #1’. There are two issues with the book that have to be accounted for. The first is, many of the books shipped from the publisher had a sticker over the bar code. this was done as some of the bar code printed had the black run together, which made them unreadable by a bar code scanner. The second issue is the dust cover the book was wrapped in. Here is the response from CGC.
