Informed Comic Book Speculation and Pop Culture News
Deadline is reporting that AMC is developing a TV series based on the Joe Hill “NOS4A2” novels. But what does this have to do with comics?, you may ask. The 2013 Wraith (IDW) series based off the same novels including an origin story of the series main villain Charlie Talent Manx III. Continue reading “Joe Hills Nos4a2 being developed into TV series”
It is nice to give and get. Here is your chance to do both. The Comic Mint is a new Web site doing Auctions for comic related items only (auctions start in January or February, they are doing buy-it-now only at the moment.) They are charging less fees than eBay, and you can list your books on both at the same time. They are doing a charity auction on 100 copies of CBCS 9.8 graded Star Wars #1 (2015) First Prints. Cheap too. Continue reading “CBCS 9.8 Star Wars #1’s for HERO INITIATIVE”

Another Week, Another Wednesday. I got the great pleasure in meeting Greg Pak (Totally Awesome Hulk) along with the lovely Marjorie Liu (Monstress) this past week at a local signing. Too very talented writers and comic book creators. So it wasn’t a bad week and weekend for me.
If your not reading Monstress, you should. Great story, top notch art work.
Also I’ll throw it out there if you have kids who love disgusting things, Pak has a kickstarter for an alphabet book of disgusting things. You can check it out at ABCDisgusting.com. He’s also Kingsway West coming soon, I think it was slated for November but probably got pushed back. I think it’s planned to be under Dark Horse. Check it out at KingswayWest.com
Now, on with the picks…. Continue reading “Agent Poyo’s Picks of the Week for 12/9/15”
