If you read or speculate on new comics off the stand, I want to let you know about a great resource for upcoming releases. Take a look at the ComixFan “Crystal Ball” forum and you’ll see the latest solicitations from Marvel and DC, plus discussions about the upcoming issues.

There are several places to check out upcoming issues, but what this site has going for it is the ability to gauge reader interest in various issues. Another great place is the CGC Modern Comics Forums. Again, a great place to get a feel for what might be popular.

Also, don’t forget to read and heed the new comic buying advice in the “Retail is for Suckers” article.
