We have talked a lot about ‘Voice in the Dark’ by Larime Taylor. We ran an interview with him a couple of months back and i have had the pleasure of talking to him several times. I have really gotten behind this book and hope it continues to grow.

DC Comics Villains month covered at Examiner.com
I am occasionally asked to write on Pop-Culture events for my local newspaper. The articles also run at the Examiner.com. Here is the latest one in reference to DC’s Villains month 3d covers.
Well we all know these were going to sell. We just didn’t know how many or how much. I sold through my first weeks covers (held my breath a little) but ended up doubling my money on them (even after ebay fees.) At first it looked sketch but it worked out.
Here is what this weeks 3d covers are going for.
Seems there are a couple of books out today already going for two times cover or more. Continue reading “Wednesday books selling above cover for 9/11/13”

Each week Terry Hoknes of Hoknescomics.com brings us a peek at the new comics being released. Here are the hot comics for delivery on 9/11/13.
Hey everyone, trying to get back on my regular schedule. Baltimore comic con really took its toll on me and my wallet, as did the 13 3d covers from last week. So I am looking for more flips. Here are this weeks books of the week based on what I, and others, think are going to be hot.
Continue reading “Comic Picks of the week for Wednesday Sept. 11th 2013”
I usually give my picks of the week late Tuesday or at the latest early Wednesday. I also like to give a heads up on what else is coming out during the week that may be worth a pick up. Because of being at Baltimore Comic Con this weekend, I am a day behind. So here is a look ahead at what is being released this week.
1. Walking Dead #114 As the book continues to grow and so does the show, more people keep grabbing up issues. Always a good bet.
2. Rachel Rising #19 Still a great book with fantastic story and art by Terry Moore. It was optioned and since they all have a low print run could still be worth the pick up (one of my monthly titles.)
3. The Other Dead #1 The comic has three covers, a regular, a subscription, and an Obama Variant which has already been bringing notice to the series. . This has caused heat just due to the cover image. The story is about zombie animals. May have been delayed a week, but don’t sleep on this one.
4. Ghosted #3 I seriously think this will get made into a movie. It has Kirkman’s star power behind it as it comes out from Skyward.
5. Collider, I mean, Federal Bureau of Physics #3 is still one of Vertigo’s best reads.
6. Brain Boy #1 Dark Horse continues to expand it’s heroes line with this remake of a classic Golden Age character.
7. Eternal Warrior #1 I was never a fan of the original Valiant stuff, but the new launches have been fantastic. This one looks cool from the preview I read.
One of my speculator goals for this show was to get Batman Family #6,9. Continue reading “Baltimore comic con update 2 Batman Family 6”
I tend to agree with Larry of Larry’s comics on a lot of things. I had posted earlier in the week that I felt let down by the Villains month books. Especially the 3d Joker. Sure the cover rocked but the story was about Joker getting a helper monkey…..
Anyway see Larry’s reaction after the bump and discuss. Readers with a sensitivity towards language should avoid. Continue reading “Larry from Larry’s comics reacts to Villains month day two.”
Thank you to Matthew Swanson for the info.
I received an email this morning in reference to a request sent to CGC about grading ‘The Outliers #1’. There are two issues with the book that have to be accounted for. The first is, many of the books shipped from the publisher had a sticker over the bar code. this was done as some of the bar code printed had the black run together, which made them unreadable by a bar code scanner. The second issue is the dust cover the book was wrapped in. Here is the response from CGC.

Just a quick question to you all, which covers did you get in the 3-d variant? Please respond in the comment section. Spoke to some retailers who said they didn’t bother putting them out, just were selling them on ebay. Spoke to others who were charging a premium. What were your experiences at your local store today? I hit Third Eye Comics in Annapolis Maryland today and they had a ton of each cover. Around noon today they still had all the covers in stock, limit one per customer, at cover price.
There are a couple of books coming out this week that are sold out at the distributor level and worth a pick up. Selling out at the distributor level does not mean you cannot find them in stores, but they may sell out quickly, and once they do, the stores cannot reorder first prints.
Thanks to Dakoit at http://comicbookspeculation.blogspot.ca/ for the heads up on this one. Make sure you check out his blog.
Hello Everyone!
Hope all you had a wonderful restful long weekend! I just got back from my brother’s wedding, and had just a beautiful time with all my friends and family. That’s how long weekends should be spent. Happiest time of my life. 🙂
Well well, from the title, I’m actually now going on three weeks strong on the bat-verse of characters. This week, I just had to cover the first appearance of a particular female who’s been on every speculators radar of late. Many comic stores have sold out of her re-introduction in the DC NEW 52. Naturally, this would be a great time to discuss her first appearance. Batman Family #6 introduced the world to ‘Joker’s Daughter’: Continue reading “Speculator Pick: Batman Family #6, 1st JOKER’S DAUGHTER!”
