InvestComics Comic Hot Picks 7-8-09

Witness the birth of the first Black Lantern. Witness a new artist for a Hot title. Witness Archie go through changes! Witness Hot Picks this week with one click…

Batman #688 The new Robin gets his first training session in this issue. Is this the reason this comic made the Hot Picks list? No. The villains in Gotham made a new discovery about the ‘new’ Batman. Is this the reason this comic made the Hot
Picks list? No. Artist extraordinaire Mark Bagley takes over the Bat title for a 4 issue run. Is this the …..maybe. So with that ‘maybe’, look for a 1995 special one-shot from a Marvel/DC crossover called Spider-Man and Batman (cleaver title huh?). The title of the comic on the inside says ‘Disordered Minds.’ Would your mind be disordered for picking up a $5.95 comic? Fun read from J.M. Dematteis and oh yea pencils by Mark Bagley. This is his first Batman work. Buy Bats 688, pair it up with the 1995 comic and
enjoy a cool selling combo.

Green Lantern #43
Geoff Johns has brought Green Lantern to new heights. This week Lantern
fans are Introduced to the birth of the first Black Lantern! What more do you
need? This will be a hot book in the weeks and months to follow. Buy a few
copies of this comic. Sell a couple quickly as the series reaches fever pitch.
Hold on to a couple for a long time. Maybe sell when the sequel to the Lantern
movie comes out! Yes this would make for a great follow up to the first (origin) movie.
