Another week, another amazing set of books.
Here is what I have my eyes on, again remember this is some spec (spec will be marked) and some just personal recs.
I am going to break this into two sections this week and see how this does.
SPEC RECS
Absolute Green Lantern #2 - https://www.ecgce.com/products/absolute-green-lantern-2-cvr-a-jahnoy-lindsay
This series opened in a super fun way and I just think it's smart to pick up any of the early issues for the absolutes, I know some of them have somewhat faltered, but I am taking a gamble on the overall for this and in if for the long haul.
Absolute Superman #7 - https://www.ecgce.com/products/absolute-superman-7-cvr-a-rafa-sandoval
The shit fucking happening in this cover is INSANE and OMG brainiac... I'd say if this cover is any indicator, this is likely going to be an important issue or at least set some stage work. Cover alone has me though, but cannot deny that the looming fuckery from Brainiac (or whatever the twist might be) is worth taking a chance on!
Frazetta Gallery - Both of these are something I am trying to get at least a copy of. Just a heads up. they are SUPER limited, so please know they might be allocated (if we get any I will favor customers over keeping a copy for me and it will be done by order timeline as to who gets them if they do).
Free For All #1 2nd Print - This is a one shot, but if we have learned anything it is that Horvath is a monster when it comes to spec. This one shot was superb and screams "I will be optioned"

GEWNPOOL #1 - These books seem to always garner interest and it looks like Marvel is going in on it decently heavy. Scott and Nesi are a super solid team as well, so I am taking a dive on this with 5-10 A covers, and some of the variants are absolutely AMAZING.

I Was a Fashion School Serial Killer #1 2nd Print - I am gonna just go out on a limb here, this one feels like there is something much bigger coming with it. The book is purely superb as well (we have an exclusive I haven't shown off yet).

Mark Spears Monsters #5 - I do NOT get the hype, but we have two homage variants that are likely to do well on the secondary. I just don't like his art, but from a pure business standpoint these are likely smart spec plays for the short term as the hype around him is still super hot.

Money Shot #1 - Not a huge spec rec, but def worth mentioning. I do have inside scoop on this series, but not gonna say anything past that as I don't know how/if it will affect market values.

Toxic Avenger Pinup Special #1 w/card - No need to explain this one haha.
Void Rivals #1 DLX HCs - Kirkman Hard Covers are something you should always grab when the word "Deluxe" is applied. Look at Walking Dead and Invincible, once they stop printing and move onto the next "collection/gimmick" these become insanely hard to get. We have no announce yet for Void, but it's coming as this is skybound and I imagine they have another billion dollar play with this as it's the biggest marketing move they have done yet. 10000% getting a copy of each.
The Spot Foil is the one I'd aim for if you have to pick between them though (green cover)!

X-Factor #10 - This is such a crazy cover, this series was good and got the axe. The cover is weird and fun enough that it could find a market down the line. I am taking a chance on it, at $2.40 a pop I am grabbing 10. Worth noting, Alan Quah did a variant as well (also grabbing 2 of those because I love his work).

HONORABLE MENTIONS
One World Under Doom #4 - This is a big series and it's likely important characters/moments can hit in any issue so I am grabbing two copies of each as they drop.
