Agent Poyo's picks of the week for 1/21/15

Love him or hate him (do not think anyone hates him, who can hate a guy who named himself after a cyborg battle rooster) but AgentPoyo has opinions and ideas. We are thankful that he shares them here in the comment section. We are proud to introduce AgentPoyo’s first spec pick article.
Burning Fields #1 Cover C Incentive Riley Rossmo Virgin Variant Cover (Boom!)
Why: It’s a Riley Rossmo cover. It’s a 1:20 variant and some recent
Boom! variants have been hot lately. If this series is popular, this
will be the cover to own or flip. Expect low print runs and possibly
no 2nd prints since last weeks Feathers opted to not go to second
printing despite selling out. Most shops online are already sold out
in advance.
Noteworthy Pick:
Ivar Timewalker #1 (Valiant)
Why: It’s a #1, it’s got time traveling and if done right, could be a
great ongoing series. Perhaps it’s a modern day Quantum Leap.
Honorable Mentions:
Spread (Image) is back after a about a 2 month absence with Spread #5.
A CHU favorite.
Powers #1 Vol. 4 (Marvel/Icon). Yes, it’s on it’s 4th volume and
there’s a Sony Playstation Network coming this Winter. A good jumping
on point for new readers.

Wytches #4 ComicXposure variant

I am loving Wytches. Did the signing with Scott Snyder yesterday and told him all about it. It is not only the horror that is great, it is the realism of characters. Scott Snyder told me that there is going to be some interesting developments between Sailor and her dad. He also mentioned that Severed helped him figure out that he could tell dark stories, and that fans react well to his darkness (read Severed it is good.)
We have been spotlighting variant covers for the series, so here is one that is creepy good. Continue reading “Wytches #4 ComicXposure variant”

Thanks to Agent Poyo for this one:

More Walking Dead Spec

There is a reason I pick Walking Dead books each week they come out for the picks of the week. One show out, one on the way, plenty of material for harvesting show ideas.

Loot Crate exclusive Star Wars Cover for issue #1

This month’s Loot Crate theme is rewind. Looks like they could be sending out items from previous crates. There was an awesome retro video looking like an old video recording that kind of spotlighted this.
