Cable TV is Dead, but Cable Comics are Coming Alive

Comics can have a strange up and down trajectory, just like any other investment.  Today's big thing could turn into a dud tomorrow.  If you have the next big character before others realize what is happening, you can get ahead of a very competitive market.  When...

Dawn of the Darkhawk or Darkhawk á L'Orange?

I made my declaration at the beginning of the year that I would stay away from modern comics.  So, I would like to take this time to write a blog about a modern comic that has been grabbing my attention...I know, I know.  Totally normal.  The...

Insert Inserts Here - Marky Mark Jewelers and the Funky Bunch

Comics are printed in mass and over time there is a long and arduous process that takes a comic from on the shelf, to in a collection, to graded and finally for sale.  With a dizzying amount of variants, limited editions, signature series, blank covers,...

Hyperion - The Hero We Need

Where does the line fall between hero and villain?  We have seen Marvel and DC play with this concept when the ramifications and collateral damage come around to make a hero question their motives.  Hulk is a mindless rage monster who causes all sorts of havoc,...

Growing Pains: From Marvel Boy to Quasar

I am expecting the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) to become more cosmic as time elapses.  There are only so many stories that you can tell on Earth with earthlings.  There are cosmic threats that are always coming for us, artifacts of great power ready to...

Westward Ho and On Our Way!

Remember when George Costanza was told that the answer to his big project was in the song "Downtown" by Petula Clark?  I am beginning to feel that way about the Marvel content.  Was it staring us in the face the whole time?  Was the cover of...

Michael Versus Morbius: The Neverending Struggle

If you have followed my blogging, you are probably aware that I have a bias against Jared Leto.  It is not personal, it is just that I hate the fact that he is probably going to ruin Morbius, and therefore tank all related comic values.  We...

GoCollect Reader Mail #C for Chimichangas

We know that you missed it!  The imaginary mail is rolling in...like in those giant bags overstuffed with envelopes.  We can hardly keep up!  Our non-existent staff of letter openers and readers are hard at work sorting through your fake questions and delivering relatively useless advice.  But,...

Dreadknight, Take Me Away!

Marvel should be built on characters.  I can buy an action figure of the most obscure Star Wars or GI Joe character at any point, but Marvel likes to pick and choose which characters they want to focus on and promote.  I am beginning to wonder if...

Do You Come From A Land Down Under: Callisto and the Morlocks

I am all about the X-Men speculation at this moment.  Why?  Simple investing strategy: buy when comics are undervalued.  Fox slowly and savagely destroyed their X-Men franchise.  Luckily for us, Disney and Marvel swooped in and bought back the rights for the characters.  Speculation senses tingling! ...
