Happy 4th of July….Today I take my journey of becoming BBQ Master (I’ve never grilled before, I’m a city kid what can I tell ya.) I was knee deep in research on Charcoal and Wood Chips and Chimneys when I had to stop to bring you guys the Variants of the Week. Pretty decent week so let’s hop right into it Continue reading “Mel V.'s Variant Picks for 7/5/17”

Poyo’s Picks for July 5th, 2017
Hey gang, another Wednesday is upon us. Coming off the heels of an American holiday, and like all crappy bosses, Anthony has me picking comics instead of watching fireworks. That is ok because I am getting ready for another American tradition, the road trip. The family and I are setting out in a couple weeks for a good old fashioned National Lampoon style jaunt. Oh, right, it is Tuesday/Wednesday, depending on when you are reading this, and you want the good stuff. Never fear, your old pal Poyo has some picks for you. Like them, hate them, let me know in the comments. Continue reading “Poyo’s Picks for July 5th, 2017”

Poyo's Picks for June 28th, 2017
Hey gang, it’s your favorite comic book picker on CHU. Anthony’s great guy but admit it, you guys love me more, but if you saw what I looked like you might not, so that’s going to remain a mystery for as long as possible. Just imagine what Anthony looks like but uglier.. that’s me!
Anyway, I’ve been so busy with work, I almost forgot bout these dang picks this week until Anthony texted me, demanding more out of his non-paid CHU employees (evil, evil Anthony, I had to take time out of paid employment to do this). Anthony doesn’t pay me, feed me or provide me with quarters.. so why do I do this? I honestly do not know.. Maybe I just like Anthony. Or maybe.. just maybe, I like being wrong each week. That’s probably it, but I might be wrong about that since I’m always wrong. Except for when I am right.
Enough of my ramblings, on with the picks. Continue reading “Poyo's Picks for June 28th, 2017”

Poyo's Picks of the Week for November 30th, 2016
Welcome back to another new comic book week, where we all get our geek on with new books hitting the shelves at our local comic book shops.
This week is smaller than usual, seems there’s not as many new books hitting shelves, DC and Dynamite and IDW seem to have less than normal new books. There is a Paul Pope variant for M.A.S.K. #1 hitting stands, so be on the look out for that one. I know Anthony is gonna be searching for it more than likely.

You know what’s better than spending time with the family and eating lots of turkey? New comic book day. Forget Thursday, this Wednesday is bound to be better with lots of new comics hitting the shelves. Yeah, you heard me, new comic book day is like Christmas every week. Where you get to go treat yourself with all the crap you don’t really need but you really need it or your life feels empty. So go buy those comic books, pick up a few extra, some titles you wouldn’t necessarily pick up. You deserve it. Continue reading “Poyo's Picks for November 23, 2016”

Poyo's Picks for November 16th, 2016
It’s that time again, the day we all wait for each week, new comic book Wednesday.
Is it me or does it seem like since Image claimed they were going to boost their #1 prints to avoid 2nd, 3rd and beyond printings.. we’ve seen more number ones go to 2nd and 3rd printings? Just doesn’t add up if you ask me.
You all will be so proud of me, I started attempting to catch up on my readings and I actually made a slight dent. I’m caught up with some Marvel reads and also Amazing Spider-Man so I could read Clone Conspiracy, which I can honestly say, art is great, story is meh. It’s not terrible but can we officially say Gwen Stacy has been revived? She’s suppose to stay dead dammit. Anyways.. I’ll hold my rants for characters that should stay dead for later, let’s get on with the picks, my picks, the stuff I’m gonna tell you to pick up to buy, read or flip, or whatever it is you do with your comic books..

It’s election night here in America, where Americans will pick their next leader, so we can start the election campaign cycle all over again almost immediately after it’s over. So instead of tuning into that political mud flinging arena, let’s talk comics, cause tomorrow is, new comic book Wednesday, something better to celebrate.
So let’s get on with the picks, my picks, sometimes dead on.. Continue reading “Poyo's Picks of the Week for November 9th, 2016”

Poyo Goals:
Met Jock. Check.
Met Francesco Francavilla. Check.

Poyo's Picks of the Week for October 19, 2016
MondoCon is coming up here in Central Texas, if you’re going, holler in the comments section, I should be there either Saturday or Sunday. Jock and Francavilla are both going to be there, amongst some other comic creators and artists, movies, music, toys and food. So it’s more than just comics, I’m looking forward to the event and hopefully sharing stuff with the masses. Continue reading “Poyo's Picks of the Week for October 19, 2016”

Poyo's Picks for October 12, 2016
So NYCC was a blast. It was nice meeting people and hanging with Anthony and Tyson from ToyBoxOne. Met Mel as well, but with the crowds and such, we all sort of went our own way at times. Shout out to Larry as well from Larry’s Comics, great pleasure to finally meet you in person.
A huge thanks to Anthony though for hooking us up with hotel reservations, con connections and that uber ride back to the airport on the way out of the city on Sunday, back to our regularly scheduled programmed lives.
Since I survived the weekend, let’s talk about comics some more shall we? It’s a huge week this week and there is just literally tons of good stuff hitting the shelves. So I’m going to change it up again. I’m going to stick with my DC and Marvel Picks, but then I’m going to make sure there’s always an Indie pick, which will hopefully be my main focus. Yes, out of the dozens of comics I pick up each week, I’m going to narrow it down to just one pick I think you should either read, keep or flip. Sometimes I might think it will be a quick flip. Sometimes it might just be something you hold onto for a long time. So let’s move on. Continue reading “Poyo's Picks for October 12, 2016”

Poyo's Picks of the Week for Sept. 5th 2016
It’s Con Week for me and a few others. Yes, anyone going to NYCC, look for me, I’ll be hanging around that Tony guy.. and Tyson from ToyBoxOne!
It’s a huge week and I’ll be traveling on Wednesday so I’m hoping I ordered most of what I wanted or need, but I’m sure I missed something for the collection.
Regardless, let’s get on with the picks… Continue reading “Poyo's Picks of the Week for Sept. 5th 2016”
