Chew being developed as animated series
Hollywood reporter has reported that Chew, once being developed as a Showtime TV show is being developed into an Animated TV show. John Laymen is saying that an animated show does not mean that a live action TV show is out of the works. Prices have dipped back issues lately so any news on a tv show would help the prices out. for a guy like me who is still sitting on a full run even after prices for #1hit $400 Continue reading “Chew being developed as animated series”

Diamond Comics Advanced Reorder List for 7/28/13
The Diamond Comics Advanced Reorder list shows what comic shops are upping their orders on before the books ship. These could be new #1’s, books that have got some heat behind them, 2nd prints of already sold out books, or stuff that buyers are coming in asking for. This week is a treasure trove of sold out books going back for 2nd prints. This means the first prints are long gone from the distributor and could be seeing an increase in price.

Good picking
Some days are better than other. Some weekends are better than others. This was a good weekend to be away and make some good pickups out of state
Cult Fiction Comics Comic shop review
One of the greatest things about traveling, for me at least, is to check out comic shops in the areas I go to. I plan on doing more reviews on shops, but have only done one so far and I gave it a horrible review. Today I hit several shops on my way to Philadelphia up 95 N and one really stood out above the rest.
Cult Fiction Comics located at 3103 Chichester Ave in Boothwyn, Pa is a fantastic shop. My iPhone’s Gps is set to pick up Comic shops along my route. It also drains the battery. These guys are located right off 95, maybe a three mile detour, and are worth stopping in for.

Ghosted #1 sells out at distributor level and going to 2nd print
Another new sell out from Image and Skybound (Robert Kirkman’s imprint.) ‘Ghosted #1’ sold out through Diamond comics distributors. Selling out at the distributor level does not mean that you cannot but it in stores, it means that stores cannot order additional copies through Diamond. Skybound sellouts have included many issues of ‘The Walking Dead’ and early issues of ‘Thief of Thieves.’ Many of which have performed nicely on the secondary market.
Copies of Ghosted #1 cheap on Amazon

So without further ado, this weeks comic book speculation picks:
