Larry's Comics Pick of the week for delivery 5/14/14

Always love when Larry Doherty from Larry’s Comics chimes in. See, he has been at this speculator game a long time.

So here is his pick of the week for 5/14/14: Continue reading “Larry's Comics Pick of the week for delivery 5/14/14”

Comics Picks of the week for delivery on 5/14/14

This summer has already started to heat up with the release of Southern Bastards, The Woods, and Nailbiters.
This week is another great week. Each week hundreds of new comics hit the shelves. We give our picks for the ones we think have the best shot at heating up. Here are our picks for delivery on 3/14/14:
The one with the Walking and the Dead:
Walking Dead #127 – You know I cannot resist putting a Walking Dead book in as a must pickup. The series will continue to grow, this is the first issue at the end of a story arch (tpb) and is always a good starting point for new readers. This is the first post-All out War issue. I always buy two copies of The Walking Dead, this one is going to be worth it.
The Marvel one:
The United States of Murder Inc. – Kind of reminds me of Evil Empire. It is Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming from Powers. A brand-new world of crime fiction like you’ve never seen before. In this oversized first issue, you will discover a world in which the families of organized crime never lost their stranglehold on the United States.
The weird indy vibe one for fans of Adventure Time:
Bee and Puppycat #1 – Natasha Allegri is simply amazing. She built up a huge fan following on Tumblr while working on the Adventure Time cartoon, then created Fionna and Cake, and heck, then she created BEE AND PUPPYCAT, the best thing ever!
also
LumberJanes #2 – Girl scouts and supernatural creatures. Best be prepared.
and the overall pick of the week, besides Walking Dead is:
Afterlife with Archie #5 Pepoy Variant – Love cheesecake, these covers do it justice. Grab two, this one could be a quick flip by weekend.

The Haunted #1 (Red 5) Comics Print Run

Remember a few months ago we mentioned this book, and then a few weeks ago we told you about it again. The Haunted #1from Red 5 Comics print run is out and it is tiny.

DC Bombshell covers for June

I like cheesecake, not the dessert kind, but the pin-up style art work that was popular in the 1950’s (and before and honestly, afterwards.) So, even though I am not a DC reader, I will be picking up some of the DC Bombshell variants coming out next month. Continue reading “DC Bombshell covers for June”

Clone first appearance spec

This one comes to us from our friend Topher at www.investcomics.com. He dropped this little gem in the message section and I wanted to spotlight it.
Some people hate this kind of spec, the first appearance via a preview, but this is a good one because it is a Walking Dead book. We all know that Clone has been picked up for a syfy channel tv show.  Whether  it makes it to air is another story, but spec-ing on  on the first appearance may not be such a bad idea.
