Informed Comic Book Speculation and Pop Culture News
We had mentioned the Comic Con Box Flip idea a while back. The idea was to buy the box and flip the Batman Adventures #12 Comic Con Box Variant that came in it, keep the rest of the stuff (or sell it) and profit. With the color closing for as high as $60 and black and white for $100
, it wasn’t a bad idea. Now I am getting word that there may be a third, secret version of it. Check it out: Continue reading “Batman Adventures #12 Comic Con Box Third Variant?”
It is the return of Free Comic Wednesday!
I got a really cool package in the mail this week from American Gothic Press. These are the same guys who not only put out Famous Monsters of Filmland Magazine, but also the great new line of comics such as Broken Moon, Gunsuits, Bornhome, and the upcoming book Project Nemesis (a Kaiju book featuring art by Matt Frank, the guy who has been doing those great Godzilla in Hell variants). They also started a line of T-shirts. They sent me over the “Famosos Monstruos” T-shirt I was sporting in the Loot Crate unboxing video the other night.

Wednesday, the best day every week. Even if it ends up being a smaller week, just the thought of running to the comic book store for new books make the day great.
This week is small for me, I think I only have 10 books I’m going to be picking up as there aren’t really many variants either that I’m eye balling.
Regardless of what I’m picking up, here’s my picks for the week: Continue reading “AGENT POYO’S PICKS OF THE WEEK FOR DELIVERY 9/23/15”

Anthony has been mentioning Rick and Morty having that underground following that is causing the book to increase in readership each month and cause back issues to go up in price.
Because of this, I thought I’d let you know about an easy flip. A simple “take-it-from-website-A-and-sell-on-website-b” maneuver.
