Agent Poyo's Picks of the week for 2/25/15
The Giblet Gravy Spec of the Week:
Spider-Gwen #1 (Marvel) – Duh! Buy them, buy the variants. Sell them to all the Gwemaniacs!
The Bloody Wing Mid Section Noteworthy Pick:
Fantastic Four #643 (Marvel) – Yes, like Anthony stated, things are going to happen. Expect Sleepwalker doing his thing, whatever his thing is. Who knows, he might play a larger role in this Secret Wars so pay close attention. These were likely a higher print since #642 was a nice sleeper but yes, expect this to be overshadows by Gwen.
The Drumstick Drumroll Honorable Mentions of the Week:
Suiciders #1 – Vertigo – From Lee Bermejo, this is L.A. in a future brutal post apocalyptic age. Where killing is entertainment. Sounds sort of like the 80’s movie “The Running Man” where they kill prisoners in a public execution game show. Could have potential if the story and art hold up.
