My friend and long time www.Comicsheatingup.net contributor, Terry Hoknes of www.hoknescomics.com, is releasing two variant covers for Enormous #7 (aka Enormous Season 2 #1). He is making them available to CHU readers first. I can tell you this, the two variants I released for #6 rarely come up for sale as they were limited and are being held by collectors, I have a feeling the same thing will happen with these.

I think i have made it well known that I am a big fan of The Spread by Justin Jordan and Kyle Strahm. The story and art have hooked me from the beginning and I have talked about the “Lone Wolf and Cub meets The Thing” (sorry, elevator pitch) book since before it began. They also have been pretty innovative with the book. They released the Spread Convention Teaser, both Blue and Yellow versions at NYCC a few years back to drum up interest, they are rare and valuable (glad I have both of them), as well as the black and white art book (these almost never come up for sale). They even started the whole Action Figure Variant craze (I know the SCUD issue was the first but the Spread ones made it popular) with their Spread Action Figure Variants
. Anyway, and I digress, they releases a rare book this year which is bringing in good money. One is up for sale at a very reasonable price. Continue reading “One to watch: Spread Cover Album”
