Walking Dead #127 sells out at distributor level
When doing the picks of the week, we always throw in a Walking Dead issue if it is being released that week.

Kingsman: Secret Service Trailer
I do have a love hate relationship with Mark Millar’s work. He puts out some great stuff (still have to read MPH) but it can take a while and there is always the over priced last issue. I digress. The trailer for Mark Millar’s Secret Service, came out a few days back. Continue reading “Kingsman: Secret Service Trailer”

THE DAKOIT SPECULATION HIT LIST: MAY 21ST 2014!!!
From our friend Dakoit at Dakoit’s Comic Book Speculation Blogspot
Hey Everyone,
Happy Victoria Day long weekend from Canada! This weekend was a great one to be a comic fan and go to the movies. With Captain America, Amazing Spider-Man 2, and Godzilla all going strong in the box office, I finally had the chance to get caught up on all three. Godzilla and Captain America rocked, and ASM #2 fell a little flat. Hey, that’s quite ok, because even if it wasn’t great, there has never been a better time when we’re lucky enough to see our ‘Spidey’ gracing the silver screen every few years. Continue reading “THE DAKOIT SPECULATION HIT LIST: MAY 21ST 2014!!!”

Top 200 Hottest Comic Titles and recent Back Issues during EARLY MAY 2014
Bi-weekly column and list compiled by comics historian Terry Hoknes of www.HoknesComics.com – hoknes@hotmail.com
This chart is styled like the old classic Wizard Magazine Top 10 Hottest Comic charts that were published every month in the 1990′s.
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. Continue reading “Top 200 Hottest Comic Titles and recent Back Issues during EARLY MAY 2014”

Five Ghosts Movie? Five Ghosts Tv show?
I love Five Ghosts. I have met and talked to Frank Barbiere. When I saw him on May 3rd, he was hinting at things picking up for he and Chris Mooneyham coming around or before October. I thought he was talking about the book. But then he dropped an elusive bombshell over at the CGC boards. Continue reading “Five Ghosts Movie? Five Ghosts Tv show?”
Help Larime Taylor
Larime Taylor is a friend to this site. He pops in from time to time and comments here. He really is an all around great guy who puts out one of my favorite books, A Voice in the Dark. I have been linking up to Larime’s auctions to help him pay for his move. See, he lives in California and is trying to move to Las Vegas to be closer to family and the cost of living is cheaper. Here, i will let him tell it himself:
I’m disabled comic book creator Larime Taylor, and my disabled wife Sylv and I need to relocate to be closer to family to help with our care. We currently live in the inland desert of California and we’re trying to move to Las Vegas where my family lives. We’ve been living below the poverty line for 14 years now, and while my recently published comic book series is helping a bit, it’s an indie book and sales are low.
Cost of living in Vegas is MUCH cheaper, we’d have immediate family there to help us out with our daily needs, and as a caricature artist I’d have lots of new opportunities in a city full of events and conventions. We just need help getting there. I’m asking for your help in changing our lives and our future.
I was born with a birth defect called Arthrogryposis that leaves me with little use of my arms and legs. I’m in a wheelchair and draw with my mouth. I’ve been living on Social Security since January of 2000. In November of 2013, Top Cow started publishing my comic book series A VOICE IN THE DARK, which I write, draw, tone and letter by mouth. It’s been a critical hit and has a cult following, but it’s not making a lot of money yet. I also do caricatures and portraits by commission.
My wife Sylv is French Canadian, and her health crashed shortly after we got married, becoming house-bound in late 1999 and eventually bed-bound in 2011. She receives NO benefits and I get no extra benefits for her. I’ve been supporting her on what little I get, and as she cannot travel too far (getting her to Vegas will be a challenge as it is) going back to Canada for treatment has never been an option. Again, she has never received any benefits of any kind in the entire time we’ve been married.
She is a disabled artist herself, and paints the covers of my comic
You can donate to Larime’s moving fund at his gofundme fundraiser.
