I love very small press books, the problem is the story and art are often lacking. Here is one that seems to have it both. Our friends at ComicXposure sent over a couple of signed preview copies of the first issue of The Paladin to check out. I am giving away a free signed copy of The Paladin #1. Enter your name below and I will pull one name at random to give a signed copy of the book to. The Paladin can be ordered at ComicXposure and Forbidden Planet.
I recently got copies of The Paladin by Chris Antzoulis and Fabio Valle. The book is about a normal guy named Gio, who lives in a world of people with powers. His sister, Lyra, is a super-powered hero who goes by the code name Gemini. The first issue covers Gio’s daily life and gives some history of his normal life growing up in a superpowered world. However, things may not be so normal for Gio.

Mel the Movie Guy sent me over this pic a week ago. He said he thinks Grey Hulk would be in Ultron. I said, it could be like the Iron Man in Guardians thing, based on the toy line. (Bleeding Cool had reported Iron Man was in Guardians and it turned out to be a big bust)

SOLD OUT New #1 Comics for January 28 2015
Article by comic book historian Terry Hoknes of www.HoknesComics.com – hoknes@hotmail.com
This article is immensely useful in determining what retailers have under ordered and what is going to sell out fast.
This column is here to help promote every new comic book series debuting this week.
Pictured are the 3 new series that are selling out the fastest at Diamond !
This weekly article shows how popular the titles are and how close they are to selling out at Diamond.
This will give retailers and collectors a heads up with a reminder of books you want to make sure you get immediately!!
Sometimes books don’t sell out immediately so its worth taking a look back at series that came out in the past few months !
Comics can sell out very quickly so some titles on this list will be more valuable instantly the day of release !
Keep in mind that with 1500 comic stores if even just 20% of stores re-ordered just 1 copy each that would be 300 more copies sold instantly so a book can easily sell out within minutes if the book gets some buzz and/or good response from readers!
So many comics on the list that still have copies left are going to eventually all sell out.
Diamond data of copies still available listed below compiled the week BEFORE release date! Continue reading “SOLD OUT New #1 Comics for January 28 2015”
Star Wars Hot Topic variant recalled
From DisFanReview and thanks to Kelly H. for the story.
Seems that Hot Topic is good for more than Funko Pops and goth clothing(don’t hate me I sound so old.)
They do exclusive comics too. A lot of My Little Pony and Edward Scissor Hands of late, but they did do a WWE Superstars #0 which is worth hunting for. They also did a Star Wars #1 Hot Topic Variant
which is going for $178 on eBay
. Why? recalled.
