Welcome to this weeks spec and drek, the 15th edition for 2021. This is where we pick the winners each week we (or shall I say myself) think will be spec worthy, a great read or just cool looking art on the cover. I also dive into the pesky drek, the book you should probably avoid if you can or perhaps not invest so heavily into.

This weeks MARVELous Monday is a bit different. Usually I window shop the Marvel Unlimited app to pick and choose sort of at random the books I cover based on just the cover art that catches my attention.
This week I actually am going with the book I found at Half Price Books for just a buck. It’s just a shame it wasn’t truly half price from it’s original 30 cents cover price.
Last week we left off at the end of the Amazing Spider-Man issue #66, the Madness of Mysterio where Mysterio has shrunk Spider-Man to just 6 inches in size so he can squash him in revenge.
So if your new and confused, you’ll have to read last weeks MARVELous Monday to catch up for this weeks.
Welcome once again to the monthly review where we check the status of all the weekly picks and books we covered from the previous month. This time it’s for December 2018 Part I.

Halloween has arrived and so has new comic Wednesday. For me, this is really another uneventful week for new books. There might be a few surprise spec’s or winners but for the most part, even if there are, I don’t expect them to last long.
This week is so boring, I don’t really see a reason to even rush out to my shop when it opens like I usually do to score some cover price variants.
