Whats Up CHU? Its Mel V. back with another edition of Variants of the Week. Recap of last weeks variants Street Fighter Swimsuit was a pretty big hit, hope you found some and did well. Also a sleeper was the Blank Variant for Seven to Eternity that wasn’t on my radar but its doing pretty well, and it was a pain in the arse to find in stores. This week I have a small spec and a cosplay monster as well as a indie variant you may want to keep your eye on. So without further delay LETS GET INTO THE GETTING INTO (I’m working on catch phrases) Shout out to Eldin C on the check in. Continue reading “Mel V.’s Variant Picks of the week for 9/28/16”

Agent Poyo's Picks of the Week for Sept. 28th, 2016
Welcome to Poyo’s picks of the week, where I give you my chicken wisdom in what I think you should be picking up or reading. Sometimes I’m even right and nail a spec, but that’s a rare occurrence.
Last week’s winner (Seven to Eternity) was kind of a no brainer, but it did end up heating up way faster than I anticipated. Maybe I can pick this weeks winner and get two weeks in a row, since getting one spec right is an accomplishment in itself. Continue reading “Agent Poyo's Picks of the Week for Sept. 28th, 2016”

Blind Adam's Hidden Gems Vol. 28
Greetings to my Comics Heating Up and Awesomesauce families. Thank you for reading this each and every week. Thank you for the friendship, encourgment, advice, and surport. NYCC is almost here. If you want to party like a rock star let me know. If anyone wants anything special leave a message in the comments.
I just want to say Superwoman #2 was a great read. All Star Batman #2 was my book of the week. Why in Rebirth is All Star Batman & Detective Comics, especially #940, better then the main Batman book? Oh and Red Bull is the greatest drink ever made. Now, lets make some money on some comics, because you can’t teach that. Continue reading “Blind Adam's Hidden Gems Vol. 28”
Mel V.'s Variant Picks of the week for 9/21/16
WHAT UP CHU? Mel V back with your weekly dose of Variants. Right out of the gate I gotta say I’m totally shocked at how well that Silk Cosplay is doing in the aftermarket, selling for 30-45 bucks. Not bad. Last week’s Black Panther Udon variant, I had no idea there would be that many out there, I was wrong about that one being hard to find. But to make it up to you, I have got some decent variants this week on my radar. So, lets get into the getting in to Continue reading “Mel V.'s Variant Picks of the week for 9/21/16”

Blind Adam’s Hidden Gems Vol. 27
Greetings to my Awesomesauce and Comics Heating Up families. Thank you all for reading this each and every week. Before I give the top twenty gems of the week, I want to make an observation. Why aren’t the classic cartoons on dvd? No Spiderman and his Amazing Friends. No 1982 or 1987 Incredible Hulk, No Filmations Superboy. And the official Tick Animated has certain episodes cut out, whats up with that?
Superman #6 is my comic of the week. Loved it. If you have the time, go watch Cartoon All Stars to the Rescue on Youtube. What a PSA on the evils of drugs. Well, now lets make some money with some comics and you can’t teach that. Continue reading “Blind Adam’s Hidden Gems Vol. 27”

Poyo's Picks of the Week for Sept 14, 2016
Another week, another new comic book Wednesday. I should just skip a few weeks, I’m so far behind in my readings it’s not even funny. I’m sad to say my favorite local shop is closing down, due to landlord issues. No new comics until the end of October when he’s being forced out and that’s just not enough time to find a new shop to operate out of. The owner is entertaining the idea of selling, so if anyone’s in the market of buying a comic book store, well, you’ll have to find a new location…
Enough with the sad news, let’s get on with the picks of the week. Continue reading “Poyo's Picks of the Week for Sept 14, 2016”
Blind Adam’s Hidden Gems Vol. 26
Greetings to my Comics Heating Up and Awesomesauce families. Before getting to the list of books, I would first like to say thank you. Thank you for reading each and every week. I love writing this and I am so thankful to Tony for allowing me to play in his sandbox. By next week I should be able to talk and reveal what the secret project I have been working on is all about. Also, two observations: one, why are some fan films better then major Hollywood blockbusters?? has anyone seen the Gotham City Sirens fan film? My other observation is, why did we need another round of marvel hip hop variants? Well now that I said my piece, it is time to make some money on some comics because you can’t teach that!

Poyo's Picks of the week for September 7, 2016
I’m back. I survived Canada and it’s poutine! I also didn’t gorge myself with tons of ice cream cones, but it was tempting. I realized though, if one wasn’t smoking, they were likely holding an ice cream cone. Montreal was very clean, I really enjoyed it even though I spent 80% of my time in a datacenter. I even worked so much, I never got back to the hotel in time (why they close these at 10pm is beyond me) to enjoy the damn jacuzzi..
Last week Tony helped me out, with my picks and quite frankly, he did a pretty good job I think. I think the only comic he missed on my picks was Fourth Planet from Chapter House, which I really enjoyed the first issue and was really looking forward to the second issue.
So lets pick some comics for this week, cause Poyo is back and can’t wait to get back to the comic shop… and this week there is a lot coming out, probably one of the bigger weeks for me on new stuff and my ongoing pulls in a long time. Continue reading “Poyo's Picks of the week for September 7, 2016”

Thanks to Jeremy A. for sending this over.
