This week, Poyo can relax since everyone wants to eat turkey instead of chickens. All those poor turkey’s.. this weeks picks are in honor of their sacrifice of filling our bellies.
Also, Poyo would like to remind everyone that Thanksgiving isn’t about those damn Pilgrims coming to America, learning how to grow food and get along with the natives, it’s about having the damn day off, which everyone should enjoy. So if you can, do not give into the hype of having to go shop at Wally World on Thanksgiving evening, let those greedy corporations know that their employees should have the day off just as much as anyone else. So be kind and instead wake up at 3am on Friday morning to go stand out in front of a store to save a few bucks you crazy crazy people.. I’ll be sleeping in on Friday since I already got most of my shopping done weeks ago.

The first ever Local Comic Shop Day is next Saturday, November 28th, 2015! Now, what is LCSD? Brian Hibbs, writing more passionately than I could about the subject has described it as the Record Store Day model transplanted into the comic retailer world. Essentially, it’s an exclusive ComicsPRO event where only ComicsPRO member stores can participate. If your local comic shop is not a member of ComicsPRO, there’s a $50.00 shakedown for them to participate. There are a lot more points that non- ComicsPRO retailers have the ability to, rightfully object to, but that’s not the point of this post.
LCSD is all about exclusivity. Exclusive retailer participation and exclusive variants in limited runs. I spoke with Greg at Black Cat Comics this week and the story is that, unless your local comic shop is breaking their contract, retailers aren’t allowed to hold, presell, or in any way give regular customers an advantage to obtain LCSD exclusive prints. So, get there, stand in the cold after Thanksgiving like a dweeb and pick up these specs. Continue reading “Drunk Wooky’s Local Comic Shop Day Spec Highlights”

Let’s start off with a shout out to all the real heroes in Paris and Beirut, the police and emergency responders for taking care of the wounded and hopefully preventing more chaos in the recent senseless attacks.
Now on with to our imaginary heroes, our comic book heroes who have taken part of our lives even though they do not exist in real life but keep us entertained. Continue reading “Agent Poyo’s Picks of the Week for delivery 11/18/15”

It is always interesting to look at the print run numbers for comics when speculating, as supply plus demand equals potential increase in value. Here is a snap shot of October’s print run numbers. Continue reading “By the Numbers: October Print Run”
Thanks to Mel V. for the reminder.
Huck, from Mark Millar, out tomorrow, has been already picked up for a movie. Not a huge surprise as most titles Millar puts out end up being optioned. Millar’s first issues always bring in a good amount of people, but adding the movie option to the mix may bring the numbers up higher.

This is rare in the new climate of Image doing massive overprinting to avoid selling out and going to second prints, but, Monstress #1 has sold out and is going to a second printing. Continue reading “Monstress #1 from Image sells out and goes to second print”
I am telling you now, if you are a fan of the series, you will want to get your order in early for a couple reasons. First, I have read the issue already, preview pdf copies rock, and it cranks up the crazy that started in the first issue and takes it to a new level. Also, there is a crazy low print run on the book already. Sadly, most comic shops order low on new indie books and some do not even bother to go to the back of the previews catalog. But there is another reason you will want to secure your copy. Continue reading “Straightjacket #2 Update”
I have been busy and haven’t had time to get all the stories up. Mel and Blind Adam have both been emailing me for a week about getting this story up. Sadly, life gets in the way. SO the story is now not something new, but you can still get in on this one cheap.
Contest of Champions #3 and 4 will have a Venom Hulk Mash up. His first appearance is heating up. Continue reading “One to Watch: What If Vol. 2 #4”
Niobe and co-creator Amandla Stenberg continues to get the word out on her new comic “Niobe, She is Life.” Media does seem to love her and she has been interviewed quite frequently on the book. Here is the latest interview from two days ago. Continue reading “Amandla Stenberg on MSNBC talking about Niobe, and social activism.”
As a kid of the 80’s, it is no surprise that I am a Back to the Future fan. The movies just drew me in. I was very excited to see that the original creator was writing a new series. There were some cool variants that came out for the book, and one is the Ale Garza drawn Rhode Island Comic Con Variant.
