InvestComics Comic Hot Picks 1-07-09

X-Men Noir #1 sold out before it hit stands last month. This week the second issue of the red hot series continues. Do not miss this comic or you’ll probably be looking at a second print following rather quickly because it has already sold out on some major online comic book sites….

A well written X comic with pencils that are simply awesome, what more can you ask for? X Noir is hot and you better get in on the ground floor with this one. Look inside this week’s short list of Hot Picks. Remember, a short week means heading to the back issue bins or the wall to find some REAL treasures! One word – Bronze Age……..Okay that was 2 words, but still you get the idea. 

X-Men Noir # 2

Marvel Superhero Squad Hero Up

What do you get when you mix a super cool Marvel toy with Marvel Comics? A hit! Here we have a one shot of Marvel’s collected series from Marvelkids.com. Marvel is testing the waters here and the water will probably boil over to a regular ongoing. Pick this up for junior or the princess and buy yourself a copy while you’re at it. 

Faces of Grundy #1  Your favorite zombie super villain gets his FIRST EVER solo comic after 65 years of existence. DC what was the hold up here?? Let’s see, Marvel has had huge huge success with the Marvel zombie run and still till this day does. DC has a ‘Zombie’ super villain that just plain kicks ass! For 65 years!! Okay enough of that. Get this comic and reap the benefits of a good zombie villain and probably a good bang for your buck. Speaking of good bang for your buck, you should pick up All American Comics # 61 for about $7,000 (First appearance of Solomon Grundy). That’s a steal right now.

Shrapnel #1  Let’s go through the check list shall we? Robots… check, a space war…. check, a hot female hero….check and how about a bestselling sci-fi author…..check. A hit…..check. 

And now judging a book by its cover, covers of the week……
