Larry's Comics Pick of the Week for 7/9/14
We always appreciate Larry from Larryscomics.net stopping by to drop speculator goodness on us. His past few weeks have been dead on. Here is Larry’s Comics pick of the week
Before I make my pick.
A public service announcement, an anti-speculator-y pick:
Don’t buy DC Comics Grayson #1
Just. Don’t. Buy it.
Make them respect THE source material.
Send a message.
It’s the re-packaging of our nerd culture for modest budget tv source material.
Publishers are now terraforming characters to better suit other media.
Dick Grayson first appeared as Robin in Detective Comics #38 1940, as Nightwing in New Titans #44 & tomorrow as an ordinary, generic homogenized action hero in Grayson #1.
Lame.

Been off for the holiday, happy belated Independence day to all in the US, happy belated Canada day as well to my friends up north. Trying to catch up on some of the stuff that slipped through the cracks.

Katana first appeared in Brave And The Bold #200. Copies can be found in and around $20, check your local shops back issue bins though.
She can also be seen in Batman and the Outsiders #11, as well as Batman and the Outsiders #12
, with another key cover appearance (both cheap on eBay).

Top 200 Hottest Comic Titles and recent Back Issues during LATE JUNE 2014
Bi-weekly column and list compiled by comics historian Terry Hoknes of www.HoknesComics.com – hoknes@hotmail.com
This list is updated every 2 weeks. This list is compiled from my non-stop research of the current market. I believe these were the most demand and growing in value books this month. This list focuses on all regular edition covers. (Variants are not listed otherwise they would likely dominate the entire list due to instant high prices and calculated small print runs). If you think I have missed any hot MODERN titles/issues please let me know. Here are my picks of what I believe are the hottest comics at this very moment from all sold out releases of MODERN comics online based on back issue sales ABOVE cover price.

SOLD OUT New #1 Comics for July 2 2014
Article by comic book historian Terry Hoknes of www.HoknesComics.com – hoknes@hotmail.com
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 July 2 2014”
Larry's Comics Pick of the Week for delivery date 7/2/14
Where the hell would be the fun of picking Figment #2, Deadpool vs X-Force #1, or the Image title du jour?
Too Easy.
This week there are a TON of “Right under your nose picks”
Too boring. I’m Larry Doherty, a bold maverick. It’s my job to scour previews for stuff other retailers will miss; purchase accordingly. I look under every rock.
I’ll be more daring:
My speculator-y pick of the week:
ENORMOUS #1 215 INK
(W) Tim Daniel (A/CA) Mehdi Cheggour
In the midst of a planetary crisis for food and fuel, a vast ecological cataclysm has spawned “The Enormous,” massive beasts unlike anything ever encountered. Humanity struggles to stave off extinction. The original one-shot graphic novel returns in an ongoing series as the companion to the new live-action web series from Machinima!
Why? It HAS to have a microscopic print run. ( See how many shops have this on their shelves)
The artwork & production values are jaw dropping.
It’s the first NORMAL size appearance of the property. In 2013 Image released an oversized one shot. ( not a bad buy ) It’s my experience that collectors tend to shy away from odd size material.
This book WILL sellout at the distributor level.
This book will appeal to Giant Monster ( Godzilla fans)
Main reason for a spec play:
The book ties into a Web series that will surely bring some new faces to the direct market.
