Poyo’s Trade and/or Hardcover Picks of the Week

We shouldn’t just collect or flip books, we should also read them. A good story can make your purchase well worth the money spent if you ask me. After all, we buy books to read for entertainment right? Even if you can’t flip them, reading is just as rewarding.

Y: The Last Man – List of Key Appearances

It’s been a long time coming but finally we see the light at the end of the tunnel. Y: The Last Man from Vertigo Comics and the great writer Brian K. Vaughn is coming to life on our screens from FX networks which appears to likely be in 2020.

This series ran for 60 issues and has a huge cast of characters within the story line. We won’t know until the show airs if some of these characters are prominent or not as they’ll likely change it up a little bit in the show, nevertheless, this is hopefully a good starting point for key firsts for some of the characters in the story.

From Comics to Options to our Screens – A Quick Recap of What's Likely (or Not Likely) To Come Part III

We all know that the majority of media options result into absolutely nothing on the first go round. Think of them as place holders for production companies. They want to grab the latest and greatest in hopes it blows up with popularity. If they see a market for creating a show or movie with the option, the long process of finding a screen writer to kick things off begin and then from there it evolves into something more. Even if it makes it past the script being written, it can still vanish quickly like a fart in the wind.

One to Watch: Survivors Club

October is here! That means the Halloween season is upon us. My favorite time of the year. Need to get the decorations out and start setting up my Yard Haunt (includes me dressed as a scary scare crow to scare the crap out of some of the kids.) Anyway, it is also time to focus on horror books as this is an excellent time of the year to sell horror back issues (really is.) Mel shot me a text about this one and I instantly fell in love. Survivors Club is out next week and should be worth the check out. Survivors-Club-Cv1-SDCC-fd853-666x1024 Continue reading “One to Watch: Survivors Club”
